HEROISM-BASED HISTORY LEARNING AS AN IDEAL MODEL OF INDONESIAN HUMAN CHARACTER: IS IT POSSIBLE?

Abstract

History learning has a strategic position to develop national character. Positive characters contained in historical material are important to continue to be developed. One of the important values is the value of heroism inherited by the heroes of this nation when fighting for the independence of the Indonesian nation. The spirit of this struggle needs to be revived to shape the younger generation's character. This is important because the character requires a process and an ideal model as a role model in its implementation in society. The heroes are one of the most appropriate models amid the lack of ideal models owned by the Indonesian nation.
