Strengthening Character Education Model in Children-Friendly Schools of Covid-19 Pandemic Era

Abstract

In general, a concept is prepared for normal conditions. So, is this concept still feasible to use when dealing with extraordinary conditions? Of course it will not be fully implemented. Likewise, if a condition undergoes a dramatic change, where the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is on changing the learning patterns of students who originally studied at school to learn from home with a distance learning model. This change in pattern also results in the adjustment of curriculum content from normal conditions that should be an adaptive curriculum. This research was conducted in order to photograph the modeling conditions of a concept that was applied in abnormal conditions such as the Covid-19 pandemic era. The character education strengthening program (PPK) which is a national program in order to realize the character formation of students in all schools should still be implemented, including in the current pandemic era. Anak Saleh Elementary School , which since its establishment has carried the concept of a child-friendly school, designs the online learning process and continues to pursue the KDP program by involving parents more fully and more frequently.
