Abstract

The aim of this research was to develop character education model based on common values of local wisdom. The research applied a modified development research with four stages: survey to find common value in local wisdom, develop character education model, model internal validation and external validation. This research found thirty three common values and those associated with two dimensions of life; the heart versus mind and personal versus social. Three instructional strategies were successfully developed: integrated into every theme, as an objective in extra-curricular, and implemented as school culture. Internal validation indicated that the strategies were appropriate for improving students' character. External validation found that the strategies could improve students' capability in implementing the values of honesty, creativity, toughness, and caring. The finding reinforces theory that moral knowing does not automatically become a moral feeling and moral feeling does not automatically become moral action. Thus, teacher's example is the key factor in the development of student character.
