Local Content Integration Model and the Value of Science Characters in Students Junior High School In Banda Aceh

Abstract

In implementing the teaching and learning process with Islamic characters in
junior high schools, it is carried out based on the 2013 character curriculum. In
the teaching materials, teachers must be able to relate the pattern of human life
to socio-cultural values, religion and ways of interaction in Islamic Acehnese
society. This study aims to know how patterns and ways to integrate science
values with character and how students' attitudes change after the learning
process at SMP Negeri Banda Aceh. The population in this study were all
public junior high school students in five regions in Aceh whose character
represented the area. The sample consisted of 102 third grade students who
were taken randomly.They follow the learning process by integrating character
values in three meetings with teaching materials on ecosystems and the
interaction of living things with the environment which ends with a post test to
get the value of student learning outcomes. The data processing method uses ttest

statistics. the results of the study showed that there was an increase in
student achievement after using the integration model in learning with
ecosystem and environmental teaching materials. We also believe that the
model of integrating local wisdom values is able to shape the character of
students, so it needs support from all parties for implementation in the field.
