Abstract

This research article aims to explain the phenomenon of the failure of the implementation of the character education curriculum for elementary school students in Indonesia as a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. An important issue in research is how the character learning model is applied by schools during the COVID-19 pandemic through the implementation of learning from home. What are the factors that hinder the implementation of character learning in schools during the pandemic. Methodologically, this research is a qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through observation and interviews with teachers, school leaders, students, and parents. Through the triangulation method, the findings of this study can be clarified because they have gone through a comprehensive and in-depth cross-checking and data analysis process. Based on the data analysis, it can be explained that the education authorities in the regions and schools are not ready to conduct online learning with the LFH pattern. The learning model for character education in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic does not have an effective model. Symptoms of the failure of character learning can be seen from complaints from teachers and parents regarding the low attitude and weakening of student behavior effectively. It is important for education authorities and schools to prepare more effective character learning models through the development of network and technology-based learning models.
