The Healing Species program aims to reduce disruptive behaviors at school by increasing students’ abilities to avoid conflict when possible and to resolve conflicts peaceably when they occur. The program’s 11 lessons incorporate elements of behavior theory that postulate behavior follows belief. This study hypothesized that 5th and 6th grade students who completed the Healing Species curriculum would show fewer normative beliefs favoring aggression, greater empathy, and fewer disciplinary infractions, than a comparable group of students who did not receive the Healing Species program. Lessons included the participation of rescued dogs to emphasize compassion, empathy, responsibility, and forgiveness. Study results offered evidence of improved overall behavior and specific reductions in violence and aggression.

Education in Indonesia is faced with the problem of low morals, in particular among teenagers, such as brawls between students, promiscuity, drugs, and a lack of respect for teachers. In the field of education, the cultivation of students’ character needs to receive great attention. Strengthening character education in the present context is very relevant to overcome the moral crisis that is happening in this country. This condition of moral decadence indicates that the inculcation of religious teachings and character values obtained in school has not been entirely successful because they have not shown significant results on changes in student behavior in their lives. Character education in Islam is in principle based on two main sources of Islamic teachings, namely the Qur'an and Hadith. Thus the parameter of good and bad in a person's character has a certain standard according to the Qur'an and Hadith. As the basis of Islamic education, the Qur'an and Al-Hadith are references to seek, create, and develop paradigms, concepts, principles, theories, and techniques of Islamic education, even in every educational effort. Because it is sourced from the two main teachings of Islam, Islamic education is called the foundation for character education. Keywords: Islamic education, character education   Abstrak Pendidikan di Indonesia dihadapkan pada masalah rendahnya akhlak terutama di kalangan remaja, misalnya adanya tawuran antar pelajar, pergaulan bebas, narkoba, serta kurangnya sikap hormat kepada guru. Dalam bidang pendidikan, penanaman karakter terhadap peserta didik perlu mendapat perhatian besar. Penguatan pendidikan karakter dalam konteks kekinian sangat relevan untuk menanggulangi krisis moral yang sedang melanda di negara ini. Kondisi dekadensi moral ini menandakan bahwa penanaman nilai agama dan nilai karakter yang didapatkan di bangku sekolah belum sepenuhnya berhasil karena belum menampakkan hasil yang signifikan terhadap perubahan perilaku peserta didik dalam kehidupannya. Pendidikan karakter dalam Islam pada prinsipnya didasarkan pada dua sumber pokok ajaran Islam, yaitu Al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Dengan demikian, parameter baik dan buruk dalam karakter seseorang memiliki standar tertentu menurut Al-Qur’an dan Hadis. Sebagai dasar pendidikan Islam, Al-Qur’an dan Hadis dalah rujukan untuk mencari, membuat, dan mengembangkan paradigma, konsep, prinsip, teori, dan teknik pendidikan Islam, termasuk juga dalam setiap upaya pendidikan. Karena bersumber dari Al-Qur’an dan Hadis yang merupakan pokok ajaran Islam, maka pendidikan Islam disebut sebagai fondasi bagi pendidikan karakter. Kata kunci: pendidikan Islam, pendidikan karakter

Disruptive behaviors, such as intentional violations and verbal attacks, frequently happen in multiplayer online games. However, few studies have been conducted to empirically explore the antecedents to such disruptive behaviors or the role of moral positioning in relation to such behaviors. With 343 players of the game League of Legends, we tested an integrated path model of the relationships among moral positioning (i.e., preference for evil roles or characters in the game), aggression, competitive motivation, and disruptive behaviors. The results showed that moral positioning was affected by both aggression and competitive motivation. The increase of moral positioning, in turn, enhanced the degree of disruptive behavior. The theoretical and practical implications of the study results are discussed.

This study examined human rights perception, cultural diversity perception, level of character perception, and influencing factors for university students in order to prepare basic data on integrated education methods of character, human rights and cultural diversity and education program models. The research questions are as follows. 1. What are university students’ perceptions of character, cultural diversity and human rights? 2. What is the status of the experience of family life education on character, cultural diversity, and human rights, and is it related to the level of perception? 3. What variables affect character perception, cultural diversity perception, and human rights perception? The survey targeted 407 students at two universities in Seoul and used IBM PASW Statistics as a tool to analyze data. The study results are as follows. First, university students’ character, cultural diversity and human rights perception were above average; however, empirical education is still required because they had low scores in the area of action. Second, male university students have less experience in family life education on character, cultural diversity and human rights compared to female university students. Third, it is necessary to integrate education for character, cultural diversity and human rights because the most influential factors in character perception, cultural diversity perception and human rights perception were character education. The role of family life education should be considered important because personality education in the home showed a relatively high correlation.
