Pendidikan karakter
Pendidikan karakter penting dilakukan secara sistematis karena mengajarkan karakter kepada siswa sama pentingnya dengan mengajarkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan. Perlu juga contoh yang tepat dalam berbagai pendidikan karakter, terutama yang berkaitan dengan hubungan dengan siswa berkebutuhan khusus. Apalagi, peer tutoring yang digunakan dalam pembelajaran tidak bisa berdiri sendiri. Itu harus dilaksanakan dengan berbagai teknik pembelajaran seperti permainan, demonstrasi, resitasi, simulasi, sosio-drama, role-playing, dan proyek.

Peer tutoring analysis in inclusive classes using character education approach (Johana Manubey, John Rafafy Batlolona, Marleny Leasa)
This study aimed to analyze peer tutoring in inclusive classes with character education approaches for elementary students. The target of this study were 30 teachers, 525 students, and 98 disabled students from nine elementary schools in East Sumba Regency. This research focused on changing the character of students with special needs or not using peer tutoring methods that are modified with various learning techniques. The results showed a change in the character of students with special needs and not with the peer tutoring method. Thus, peer tutoring can be recommended in improving learning skills and forming student character. Future studies are expected to show how peer tutoring shapes students’ emotional intelligence in inclusive classes.
Peran orangtua dalam pendidikan

Membangun komunikasi yang berkesinambungan antara orang tua dan guru, orang tua dan anak, guru dan siswa, serta siswa dan kelompoknya akan sangat membantu motivasi intrinsik anak untuk tumbuh dan terpelihara.

Parents’ perceptions of distance learning during COVID-19 in rural Indonesia (Delipiter Lase, Trisa Genia Chrisantiana Zega, Dorkas Orienti Daeli, Sonny Eli Zaluchu)
This study was developed to investigate parents’ perceptions and attitudes towards distance learning in response to many schools’ closures due to the COVID-19. This research employed a qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of parents of elementary school students in the City of Gunungsitoli, Indonesia determined by purposive sampling technique, totaling twenty-four people. The data were collected using semi-structured interview techniques and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. This study shows that distance learning or learning from home in a research context takes the form of online and offline learning. The learning approach implemented during the COVID-19 emergency must be lived and supported without other options for parents. Although parents do not have negative perceptions, distance learning has increased the economic, psychological, and social burden on parents or families. The lack of parental involvement and support in children’s learning process at home is generally due to the lack of time and parents’ inability to become teachers for their children. Actions to accompany and support children’s learning process at home are carried out to provide internet packages, help children master the material, and participate in completing assignments or tests given by the teacher. The surprising finding from this study is the decline in children’s learning motivation and cognitive abilities. Parents hope that distance learning is not extended.

It is intended to achieve the competencies needed in the 21st century.The study used a qualitative approach. Observations were made on online learning practices at Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin, Indonesia from March to May 2021. In-depth interviews employed with 17 students who live in Banjarmasin. Miles and Huberman’s data analysis technique reduces interview data. The study results described that learning at the higher education level has differences in the achievement of the graduate profile. There are two main patterns, namely, institution-centered learning and student-centered learning. The student’s need for network strengthening requires the systemic transformation of learning. One learning transformation that can be carried out is strengthening learning practices outside the classroom with partners (stakeholders). The primary purpose of partner involvement is a condition designed so that students can increase network capital. This linking capital is expected to be an opportunity for students to increase student succession when they graduate from higher education.
