Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare how character education is implemented in Indonesia and the Netherlands. The study focuses on three things: the background, strategy, and issues of character education in the two nations. The research technique employed is a qualitative literature-based methodology most commonly referred to as library research. The project’s data sources include publications, government legislation, and research findings pertaining to character education in the two nations. The study’s findings demonstrate that state ideology, societal norms, cultural practices, religious beliefs, legal codes, and governmental policies serve as the cornerstones of character education in Indonesia. Similar to the United States, the Netherlands bases character education on cultural ideals, national ideology, and laws. The value planting technique, the value clarification approach, the learning by doing approach, role modeling, and habituation are some of the methods used in Indonesia for character education. The technique is more likely to be habituation in the Netherlands, whereas for Dutch people, character is not taught but rather habituated. The issues with juvenile delinquency, free sex, vandalism, and thuggery are similar in Indonesia and the Netherlands. The Netherlands is different in that stress levels have an impact on younger generations’ personalities.
