Abstract

Some theories in psychology explain the importance of shaping character since early and primary schools as they are the first formal education to cultivate positive values through hands-on activities. This study aimed at analyzing character education practices at a piloted primary school in Bali. This study was in the form of descriptive case study and the data were collected through documents analysis, observations, and interviews. The findings reveal that characters were not explicitly stated in most lesson plans, but they are detectable in integration with learning materials, strategies, and activities. However, the character edu-cation practices seemed ineffective since the focus scattered around the level of moral action and ignored moral knowledge and feeling. This means that students were mostly told about what to do with limited reasons and consequences of the values. It was also found that characters' assessment was very subjective in nature, since the method used was only an observation.
