1.1 Background
Much of a child and
adolescent's day is spent at school where they learn how to read, write and do
arithmetic. These students are developing mentally, physically, socially, and
emotionally from teachers, school counselors, administrators, support staff and
other students. According to Rigby (2009), these days bullying is accepted in
many schools throughout the states; it is extremely damaging to the minority of
students, mentally, emotionally, physically, and academically. Weaving
character education into the school's curriculum and/or encouraging the use of
the various programs that are out there encourages more students to think about
treating others differently.
The
definition of character education can be quite complicated because of the many
values it encompasses. The definition is universal and the outcomes are
distinguished. Pearson & Nicholson (2000), feel that there are three
interconnected areas that represent good character: self, others, and the
community. With their own actual self, students can look at self-discipline,
responsibility, trustworthiness, courage, and self- discipline. Character
traits such as: honesty, respect, empathy, kindness, and caring play into
affect with students who have relationships with classmates, teachers, friends,
and family. Utilizing schools discipline policies, character education
programs, and encouragement from parents, schools are beginning to document
that they can make a significant difference in the lives of the children they
teach. Students will then live the positive character traits they learned
through practice by treating others with respect and fairness while recognizing
they are becoming responsible, caring, trustworthy citizens.
National education serves to develop
skills and form the character and civilization of a dignified nation in the
context of the intellectual life of the nation, which is aimed at developing
students' potentials in order to be a man who is faithful and devoted to God
Almighty, noble, healthy, knowledgeable, skilled, creative, independent, and
become citizens of a democratic and responsible jawab.Pendidikan an important
part of human life that can never be abandoned.

2.1
Definition and meaning of Character Education and Nation of Character Education
Character education is a system of
naming the values of character, which includes knowledge, awareness or
volition, and actions to implement those values, both of Almighty God,
ourselves, others, the environment, or nationality. Development of national
character can be done through the development of one's individual character.
However, because people live in a particular social and cultural environment,
the development of one's individual character can only be done in a social and
cultural environment is concerned. That is, the development of culture and
character can be done in an educational process that does not release students
from the social, cultural, and social and cultural bangsa.Lingkungan culture is
Pancasila, so the culture and character education is to develop the values of
Pancasila on self peseta education students through the liver, brain, and
physical.
Character education to be the most
important key of Indonesian revival of the slump to meet the coming new
civilization. In Indonesia, lately become a very hot issue since the Character
Education proclaimed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) Warning at the
National Education Day, on 2 May 2010. Government's commitment aims to develop
the character and culture as an integral part of the national education system
to be backed up seriously. The character of the nation can be formed from
educational programs or in the process of learning in the classroom. However,
if education is seriously intends to establish a character generation of
people, there are plenty of things to do, and it takes awareness to educators
and also to implementing education policy. If we understand the meaning of
education broadly, education as a process of awareness, pencerdasan and mental
development or character, of course, is not only synonymous with the school.
However, with regard to the culture in general is running, and also have the
ability to drive awareness, forming perspective, and also to build character
younger generation. That is, the character and habits concerning the
perspective of students, youth, and young people in general little is formed in
a classroom or school, but shaped more by social processes that also can not be
separated from the process ideoogi and material-economic order ongoing.
Educating the culture and character of the nation is developing the values of Pancasila on self-learners through Education liver, brain, and fisik.Pendidikan is a conscious and systematic effort to develop the potential of learners. Education is a business community and the nation in preparing young people for the survival of a society and a better nation in the future.

In the process of cultural education and the character of the nation, students actively develop her potential, interalisasi process, and appreciation of the values of a personality to get along in society, to develop a more prosperous society, and to develop the national life of dignity. Based on the understanding of culture, national character, and education that have been raised above the level of the nation's culture and character education that develops interpreted as cultural values and national character in self-learners that have value and character as the characters themselves, which applies those values in life itself, as a member of society, and citizens who are religious, nationalist, productive and creative.
