Abstract

The learning condition in elementary school lately shows that it considers to emphasize the aspect of knowledge and tends to set aside the learning process involving students actively. Teacher’s deficiency of knowledge about the importance of character building is caused by less information and socialization of character building. Minister of Education Regulation (PEMERDIKNAS) No. 41 (2007) hints types of character needed to be integrated into school courses. The research is intended to review teacher’s effort in choosing and deciding type of character integrated into specific school-courses: Mathematics and science. The result shows that deciding the types of character are found convenient for teachers to be applied in RPP; but in its implementation, it says that most of teachers do not understand about the types of character written in RPP are had to be emphasized in learning process. The learning process of those two courses are still dominated by the teacher, while the core activities in RPP claims that teachers have planned involving students actively through activities of exploration, elaboration and confirmation.
