Abstract

This research purpose, designed with a descriptive-qualitative approach, was to explain the types of sentences containing character values in the students’ writing. The study took the fourth-grade students’ essays as the study subject, and the study object was sentences containing character education values found in the essays of fourth-grade students in the province of Bali. Data was collected by document recording method. Furthermore, the collected data were analyzed descriptively-qualitatively. The results showed that the types of sentences found in the essays of fourth-grade elementary school students in the province of Bali can be divided based on (a) content: there are 1298 news sentences, question sentences: 0, and command sentences: 0; (b) the number of clauses, there are 804 single sentences and 494 compound sentences; (c) the constituent predicates: there are 976 verbal sentences and 322 nominal sentences; and (d) the nature of the actor-action relationship: there are 893 active sentences and 405 passive sentences. The character values identified in the students’ writings were (a) religious, (b) honest, (c) hard work, (d) fond of reading, (e) caring for the environment, (f) social care, and (g) responsibility. From those findings, it is suggested that students need to be more concerned with the types of sentences that express character values in producing an essay to ensure that the essay is effective and maintains the ideas that they want to share.
