Monday's Flag Ceremony Activities as a Representation of Love For the Homeland and Improving Character Education for All Students in Village Pulau Cawan

Abstract

The flag ceremony on Monday at the Pulau Cawan Village school has an important role in shaping students' character and fostering love of the country. Through this activity, students learn values ​​such as discipline, responsibility and national spirit. The flag ceremony also builds a sense of togetherness in the community, reminds the importance of the country, and respects national symbols. However, the flag ceremony has not been fully successful in forming students' character because there are still violations of the rules and regulations. The research results show that the flag ceremony shapes students' character in terms of discipline, responsibility, national spirit and self-confidence. However, some students still do not fully have self-awareness in following the applicable rules. Factors such as the implementation of ceremonies that have not been optimal and the lack of role models from teachers also influence the effectiveness of flag ceremonies in shaping student character. Nevertheless, the flag ceremony remains an important effort in educating students' character and fostering love for their country. With improved implementation and a better role for teachers, flag ceremonies can be more effective in shaping students' character and making them responsible citizens who love their homeland.
