THE REVITALIZATION POLICY OF CHARACTER-EDUCATION IN TERMS OF STRENGTHENING THE CONCEPT OF NATIONALISM
ABSTRACT: Globalization
impacts the order of society, nationhood, and statehood in Indonesia. One
change brought about is the emergence of public behavior that does not reflect
the values of nationalism. This calls for the revitalization of character
education as part of an effort to maintain the values of nationalism in the
community. This article aims to provide an overview of the importance and
urgency to revitalize character education for nationalism through a qualitative
approach. Previously, the Government revitalized the nationalism concept
education policy implemented during the New Order era. Based on recent
findings, there are a number of factors supporting and hindering the policy
implementation of nationalism education at present. The role of character
education is found to be notably significant; therefore, the option to revive
character education to maintain nationalism values in Indonesia is empirical
and logical.
