- Abstract
The corona 19 virus pandemic requires everyone to understand and realize how each individual has an important role in controlling the spread. Learning from home policies, working from home, social distancing, or not going home before Eid, which are proclaimed by the government will only be perceived as a problem and fail if it does not involve individual awareness and participation to implement it. Therefore, each individual plays an important role in the process. In the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been many positive and negative events in character education. Social media may present a lot of news that contains moral values or vice versa as an arena for character education. According to social learning theory, the social environment can become a laboratory and arena for character education. This paper is based on a qualitative analysis using news presented on social media. It is important for each individual to present himself as a person who can place himself in synergy as an important part of life together. Reading critically a variety of news containing moral aspects is important in the context of character education for children during the learning from home period. We must be trained critically in understanding a message (textual and contextual/hidden messages). For the purpose, always keep skeptic in reading news and understanding the social context. Both are very important in capturing the hidden meaning of a message. By habituation of this learning activity, we do not easily trap in hoax or fake news. Finally, capturing moral messages will appropriately reflect the quality of their personal and social skills.
