Implementasi Pembelajaran Drama Sebagai Upaya Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter

Abstract

Character education is a very important aspect that should be possessed by an individual. The formation of one's character varies, but what needs to be emphasized is that it should be systematic and continuous. The purpose of education is not only to increase knowledge and intelligence, but also to shape someone to have good moral values. It turns out that literature education has a close and inseparable relationship with character education because literary works are derived from the reality of society and thus contain developing values within society. In addition to its relationship, literature also plays an important role in character education, namely: (1) strengthening and sharpening religious and moral education, (2) strengthening love for the homeland, (3) respecting the struggle of national heroes, and (4) increasing historical knowledge. One of the literary media that can be used to strengthen character education is through drama. Drama can be used as a medium to convey positive messages or moral values in various and enjoyable ways.
