Abstract

Character strengthening needs to be improved from an early age to instill a positive attitude in students with several methods that can be applied. The focus of strengthening the character of this article is courage. The purposes of this research are 1) to describe the cultivation of courage in concept development in Civics learning, 2) to describe the cultivation of courage in group exercises in Civics learning, and 3) to explain the cultivation of courage in independent exercises in Civics learning. The research method was qualitative with an ethnographic research design. The research was conducted at SDN 1 Jatimarto with the class teacher and three second-grade students as subjects. Data collection techniques applied were interviews, documentation, and observation. The data were validated using source and technique triangulation. Data analysis techniques used inductive methods. The process of data analysis is collecting data, reducing data, displaying data, verifying data, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that 1) Cultivating courage in concept development is carried out by guiding students to understand a concept by reading a text to train courage; 2) Cultivating courage through group exercises begins with forming students into several groups. Students can express their opinions and then convey their work with courage; 3) Cultivating courage in independent exercises is done by giving students assignments independently.
