<p>Character building efforts through education in Indonesia can be said to have not been implemented optimally. It is illustrated by the many behaviors of learners that lead to immoral behavior and contrary to the values   of Pancasila. The moral crisis must be addressed immediately<br />by increasing efforts to shape the character of good citizens. Character building through education is charged to every subject at school. One of the subjects charged in shaping the character of good citizens is through Civics subjects. The subject of Civics becomes a very effective approach in achieving the goal of character formation. This paper seeks to describe how the role of Civics teacher as a central fi gure in shaping the character of learners in accordance with the expected goals. The method used in this paper is a literature review of ideas that strengthen this paper. Teachers become central figures in the learning process so that the role of teachers is very large in shaping the character of learners in accordance with the value of Pancasila. Teachers must change the paradigm that teachers<br />only as teachers become educators. That’s because teachers in shaping characters are not through knowledge transfer but are able to bring students in real experience through learning. The role of Civics teachers in forming the character of citizens include 1) the role of teachers as teachers in understanding the values   of characters to be developed; 2) the role of teachers as the compilers of character-based learning devices; 3) the role of teachers as implementers of innovative learning and 4) the role of teachers as role models in character building.</p><p><br />Keywords: role of teacher, Civics and character education</p>

The paper discusses the nature and role of the icon`s motif in Boris Sporov’s story “Monk-The Savior”. It analyzes artistic parameters allowing to attribute this work to missionary prose (the evolution of a hero, a combination of crisis and choice-situations, the specifics of a false choice), focusing on the complex spiritual path of a person overcoming moral crisis and taking the path of reconciliation with God. The author explores the inner world of story`s main character, Ivan Korovin, displays his gradual refusal to protest against the Divine Providence, which is made possible through the knowledge of basics of icon painting. The study results in revealing that, at the first stage, the image of Christ the Punisher dominates the character’s consciousness, which is reflected in Ivan`s iconographic images of the Savior made without hands. At a later stage, the face of Christ the Punisher acquires a new shade — Christ the Sufferer, which partly draws together the hero, who had undergone moral and physical pain, and his Creator. Salvation through iconography is not a new motif to the Russian literature: B. F. Sporov remains here within the framework of the established tradition. The paper also establishes ideological and artistic parallels between the story “Monk-The Savior” and the works of Russian classical literature (Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky), as well as the cinematography (Andrei Tarkovsky’s film “Andrei Rublev”).

Abstract Contemporarily, globalization marked by every access in all fields has created a variety of problems in people's lives. In reality, the world now (as a product of globalization) is almost entirely dominated by Europe and the United States which clearly have different cultural roots with the Indonesian culture. The hegemony that occurs is not merely economical and political, but more than that, it is also the cultural project of modernity. The impact of globalization today has been able to uproot the Indonesian people from the cultural roots that become their inheritance. Dehumanization in the form of an acute moral crisis has also become a part that is almost inherent in the life of every human being. In this context, pesantren as Islamic institutions that are rich of the characteristics of the Indonesian people have strategic values in the development of a multicultural society. For the Indonesian people, the strategic role of pesantren in globalization as a moral development institution, da'wah institution, and educational institutions with a multicultural character and nationalism will greatly determine the direction and purpose of the future of the Indonesian people. The response of pesantren in addressing globalization in accordance with the roles and fields that they have worked on, "namely the field of moral guidance that is oriented live together through applied learning" will become urgent as a way of life among Islamic community of Indonesia. In this regard, the study on the role of pesantren in actualizing the multicultural insightful learning process will focus on: first, the actualization of the PAI system in Islamic boarding schools in the era of globalization; second, models of PAI development at Islamic boarding schools; third, the development of the PAI system with the model of organisms in Islamic boarding schools. Keywords: Reactualization of Learning Systems, Islamic Boarding Schools, Multicultural ملخص في العالم المعاصر، العولمة المميزة بفتح كل وصول في جميع المجالات قد تركت المشاكل المختلفة في حياة الناس. في الواقع ، فإن النظام العالمي الحالي - كمنتج للعولمة- يكادأن يغلب عليه أوروبا والولايات المتحدة ، التي لها جذور ثقافية مختلفة عن الثقافة الإندونيسية. السيطرة التي تحدثت ليست اقتصادية وسياسية فحسب ، بل أكثر من ذلك ، إنها أيضاً تدخل على الثقافة المشروعة للحداثة. لقد كان تأثير العولمة كما هو معروف اليوم قادراً على اقتلاع المجتمع الإندونيسي من جذوره الثقافية حتى أصبح التجريد من الإنسانية في شكل أزمة أخلاقية حادة أيضًا جزءًا متأصلاً في كل حياة إنسانية. وفي هذا السياق ، فإن المعاهدالإسلامية كمؤسسات إسلامية شديدة الكثافة بخصائص الشعب الإندونيسي لها قيم استراتيجية في تطوير مجتمعها المتعددة الثقافات. بالنسبة للشعب الإندونيسي ، فإن الدور الاستراتيجي لمعاهد في عصر العولمة كمؤسسة للتطور الأخلاقي ، ومؤسسات الدعوة ، والمؤسسات التعليمية ذات الخصائص المتعددة الثقافات والقومية سيحدد بشكل كبير اتجاه مستقبل المجتمع الإندونيسي وأهدافهم. إن استجابةالمعاهد الإسلامية في معالجة العولمة بما يتناسب مع الأدوار والمجالات التي أصبحت تعمل فيها ، أي مجال التدريب الأخلاقي وهو يعيش معاً متوجهًا من خلال التعلُّم التطبيقي ، سيصبح عاجلاً كطريقة للحياة في المجتمع الإندونيسي. فيما يتعلق بهذا ، سيركز البحث فى دور المعاهد الإسلامية في عملية التعلم بالمتعددة الثقافات على: أولاً ، تطبيق نظام التربية الإسلامية في المعاهد الإسلامية في عصر العولمة ؛ ثانيا ، نماذج تطوير نظام التربية الإسلامية في المعاهد الإسلامية. ثالثًا ، تطوير نظام التربية الإسلامية بنموذج كائن حي في المعاهد الإسلامية. مفتاح الكلمات: إعادة تأهيل نظام التعلم ، المعاهد الإسلامية ، متعددة الثقافات   Abstrak Dalam dunia kontemporer, globalisasi dengan ditandai oleh semakin terbukanya setiap akses dalam segala bidang telah mewariskan beragam problema di tengah kehidupan masyarakat. Secara nyata, tatanan dunia yang sekarang ini berlangsung (sebagai produk globalisasi) hampir semuanya didominasi oleh Eropa dan Amerika Serikat yang jelas-jelas memiliki akar budaya yang berbeda dengan kultur bangsa Indonesia. Hegemoni yang terjadi pun bukan semata-mata bersifat ekonomi dan politik saja, akan tetapi lebih dari itu, ia juga bersifat the cultur project of modernity. Dampak globalisasi seperti diketahui sekarang ini telah mampu mencerabut masyarakat Indonesia dari akar budaya yang menjadi warisannya. Dehumanisasi dalam bentuk krisis moral yang akut juga telah menjadi bagian yang nyaris melekat dalam kehidupan setiap manusia. Dalam konteks demikian ini, pesantren sebagai lembaga keislaman yang sangat kental dengan karakteristik bangsa Indonesia memiliki nilai-nilai strategis dalam pengembangan masyarakatnya yang multikultural. Bagi bangsa Indonesia, peran strategis pesantren di era globalisasi sebagai lembaga pembinaan moral, lembaga dakwah, dan lembaga pendidikan yang berkarakter multikultural serta berwawasan kebangsaan akan sangat menentukan arah dan tujuan dari masa depan masyarakat Indonesia. Respons pesantren dalam menyikapi globalisasi sesuai dengan peran dan bidang yang telah menjadi garapannya, −yaitu bidang pembinaan moral yang berorientasi live together melalui pembelajaran yang diberlakukan− akan menjadi urgen sebagai way of life di kalangan masyarakat (Islam) Indonesia. Terkait dengan hal tersebut, maka studi terhadap peran pesantren dalam mengaktualisasikan proses pembelajarannya yang berwawasan multikultural ini akan difokuskan kepada: pertama, aktualisasi sistem PAI pada pondok pesantren di era globalisasi; kedua, model-model pengembangan PAI di pondok pesantren; ketiga, pengembangan sistem PAI dengan model organisme di pondok pesantren. Kata Kunci: Reaktualisai Sistem Pembelajaran, Pondok Pesantren, Multikultural

Guidance and Counseling teachers always required understanding the conditions and situation of students with a vengeance and so that required intense emotional involvement. Intense emotional involvement can lead to job stress and stress is ignored if the condition will potentially lead to burnout in the works. This study tries to find out the burnout of the picture and the factors that affect the burnout of the BK teachers, 23 respondents who have a lot of student guidance. Determination of the respondents using the technique of "snowball". The method used is a qualitative method with the phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques using in-depth interviews. The credibility of the research done by triangulation of the data sources. Based on the results of the study concluded that depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and unwillingness in the achievement experienced by BK teachers. The Free school system, the weak role of the leader, the conditions are not the conducive working environment, workload, unclear professional status, educational qualifications, moral crisis of the students, the indifference of parents, lack of social support coworkers lead to burnout at BK teachers. Spirituality becomes a reference in the BK teachers cope with stress and burnout experienced. So the central phenomenon in this study is the burnout as a result of the stress experienced by BK teachers.

AbstractPast research shows that religious beliefs can shape political activity. Yet current literature leaves open many questions about the mechanisms at work. I point to the key role of a particular religious belief found across denominations: providentiality, or the belief that God has a plan that humans can further. When these beliefs are connected to politics, providential believers are likely to be active and dedicated participators. I test this notion using survey data collected during the 2012 election campaign from congregants in Little Rock, Arkansas. In general, providential believers are less likely than their non-providential counterparts to participate in politics. However, when providential believers report hearing political sermons from their clergy, they are significantly more likely to participate. These findings illustrate one pathway by which religious beliefs can influence politics: through a cue that links providentiality and politics.

This conclusion summarizes the book's main findings about the role of knowledge production and policy formation on the Kazak steppes of the Russian Empire. It highlights a strikingly common formulation among Kazak intermediaries of the long nineteenth century: the Kazak steppe and its inhabitants were in a “transitional state.” It shows that for Kazaks, the source of their problems lay in a variety of factors, from moral crisis to a failure of economic modernization, Europeanization, and the spread of a purified, modernist Islam. It also considers how mass peasant resettlement became the essential condition of tsarist policy on the steppe and how rapid resettlement affected Kazaks. Finally, it examines how bureaucrats and intermediaries who could envision many transitional states combined local and metropolitan knowledge in idiosyncratic ways to advance their views.

The most acute symptom of modernity is the ethical component of society, the so-called spiritual crisis. The essence of moral crisis consists in reducing religiosity; the major effects of diminishing religiosity are: blind obsession for money, selfishness, proliferation of the lack of honesty, decline of the family as a social institution, public proliferation of sexuality, increase of discord, amplification of conflicts of all kinds (between individuals, between the individual and society, between social groups, between generations). The real world alienated itself and even broke away entirely from the world of spiritual, social and moral life. Nowadays, we talk about science, politics, religion, culture, economics, as if they were different fields, as if the involvement of a problem from one field into another field would not be allowed. In this sense, culture should not be involved in matters of science, morality cannot be compatible with business; and in politics we cannot guide ourselves by moral principles. Such attitudes lead to antisocial and deviant patterns of behavior: lying, violence, discrimination, corruption, tax evasion, crime etc.

A twofold increase in Chaoborus punctipennis abundance following experimental acidification of one basin of Little Rock Lake, Wisconsin, provided an opportunity to examine the hypotheses that C. punctipennis dynamics were regulated by (i) food resources for instars I and II, (ii) fish predation on instars III and IV, and (iii) invertebrate predation on instars I and II. Neither food limitation nor fish predation appeared to be important constraints on C. punctipennis abundance. Although rotifer biomass increased significantly during the acidification, C. punctipennis did not respond in a consistent manner to variation in food availability. Bioenergetics estimates of C. punctipennis consumption by rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris), the most acid-sensitive fish species, were small compared with C. punctipennis production. In contrast, invertebrate predation appeared to be an important constraint on C. punctipennis abundance. Chaoborus punctipennis abundance increased dramatically when abundance of the predator Mesocyclops edax declined to near zero. Comparison of M. edax predation rates and first instar production suggested that M. edax could exert strong predation pressure on C. punctipennis Thus, invertebrate predation may create a juvenile bottleneck for populations of small-bodied Chaoborus species in moderately productive acidified lakes.

In a well-known 1964 essay on the “recovery” of American religious history, Henry F. May observed that some scholars had “revived” religious interpretations of the nation's greatest political crises, including the Civil War. But there was more work to be done. “A religious, or partly religious explanation of the Civil War,” May suggested, would “rest on two assertions: that serious and intractable moral conflicts were important in causing the war and that in nineteenth-century America such conflicts were particularly difficult to avoid or compromise because of the dominance of evangelical Protestantism in both sections.” In fact, both the importance of the moral conflict over slavery and the role of evangelicalism in intensifying hostilities were already attracting attention as historians reexamined previous emphases on economic factors and political bungling as explanations of a tragically unnecessary war.

The study aimed to identify the role of Jordanian schools in confronting the moral crisis from the point of view of teachers in Jordanian schools. The study population consisted of all the teachers in Jordanian schools of the Jordanian ministry of education for the academic year 2017/2018. The study sample consisted of (50) teachers who were selected as representatives of the study society. The study followed the method of qualitative research due to its relevance to the nature of the study and used the interview for this purpose. The results of the study showed that there is a role for the Jordanian schools in facing the moral crisis، which was clear and effective by the commitment of the schools to the teachings of the Islamic religion. The study recommended the need to highlight the ethical aspects in the curriculum and linking them to the Islamic faith and develop the role of the teacher in the development of the moral values of students.
