Planning is a function of management that needs to be done before the implementation of an activity, whether they are activities in organisations, institutions, schools or in learning. Improper lesson planning makes goal achievement not optimal. Therefore, this study aims to describe the learning planning of prose literature that affects character…

Learning or lecturing, which are an essential part of the education process, are often presented only by cramming the teaching materials' contents to students but defying values.

This paper articulates how the teaching of movement, physical activity and sport, through formal education and schooling, and the medium of physical education, affords opportunities for twenty-first-century character education. We begin by outlining our theoretical framework for character education and identify how character-traits developed…

The importance of values in the development of society and the establishment of relations among individuals has made the social studies course important in the transfer of values. Because the social studies course is intertwined with values by its nature whether it is given directly or not. In this framework, values were included in every learning…

One response to the coronavirus pandemic has been for educators, public health experts and politicians to emphasise the importance of empathy, compassion, care, or similar human qualities in tackling the crisis.

Developmental complexity, in particular developing an internal voice, is one of the foundations of character development.

Several studies have investigated factors guiding children's decisions when learning from others, although less is known about factors that govern children's decisions when they transfer knowledge to others.

The results of four studies of civic education, conducted by the IEA over a period of almost 50 years, are examined in terms of…
