Introduction
Education is a process of changing a person's attitude and behavior in an effort to mature through teaching and training to prepare the younger generation for a better continuity of life in society and the nation in the future.Because education is a basic need, this education is used as a benchmark for the level of human welfare.Everyone has the right to get education through formal or non-formal institutions.
Character education is a conscious and planned human effort aimed at educating and empowering every potential student.In addition, character education is also useful for building the character of each individual so that they can become individuals who can have benefits for the individual and also for the environment (Musyadad Vina et al., 2022).It can be said that character education is an effort toinstilling the value of attitudes carried out by the teacher in the hope that it will greatly influence students in order to empower potential and build good personal character, the application of which is carried out through learning by adjusting the growth and development or psychological growth of students.Instilling character education needs to be implemented from an early age to adulthood, because the inculcation of character education cannot be done instantly.Therefore character education is very important to be applied to early childhood, because if this character education has been formed when the child is still at an early age, then when he grows up the child will have control over himself.
This character education can be implemented into a subject that has been determined by the applicable curriculum.One of the efforts to realize character education is by integrating it into Indonesian language subjects, namely in learning language and literature.Language and literature are appropriate media in an effort to shape a child's character.Basically fairy tales are a type of children's literature that children are certainly very interested in.In addition to the imaginative form of the story, fairy tales also have characteristics, namely as entertainers as well as educating children.Fairy tales are stories that contain moral and social values that are useful for shaping children's character (Habsari, 2017).There is one type of children's literature that is in great demand by children whose events are very often in accordance with events in children's lives, namely fables.
Fables are fairy tales whose contents are related to the animal world which are usually also referred to as moral stories, because on average the contents of the stories contain moral messages.This fable can be used as an alternative to instill character values in children.Fable fairy tales contain imagination, which can trigger imagination in children.This is because fables are not real stories that can even be said to be beyond human reason.Therefore, when these fables are read, children will be able to create their own imaginary world.And this is where the child can easily absorb the character values that exist in fairy tales conveyed by the author through fable fairy tales.In fact, learning about fables is indeed in great demand by children.So with learning fables, the child's interest in learning is increasing when learning about fables because children can freely imagine with these stories.
Learning that is currently applied to elementary school children is thematic books.Meanwhile, in the grade 2 theme 7 student book there is a fable with the title "Ingenuity Increases Kindness, Ducks Always Live in Harmony, Kiki and Kiki, Friendship of Eagle and Rooster, Story of Cat and Mouse, Butterfly with Noble Heart, Ant and Grasshopper, Origin of the City Surabaya, Friendship of Elephants and Rats.There are 9 fables in this class 2 theme 7 theme book (Ministry of Education and Culture, 2017).Which of these fairy tales has its own differences, both in terms of content and title too?Although there is little resemblance in terms of character values.So, the focus of this research is the value of character education contained in the fables contained in the thematic books on the 7th grade class 2 elementary school theme.In this 7th grade 2 SD thematic book, it contains various kinds of interesting stories about animal characters that are made as if the animals act like humans.So, when children read or listen to these fairy tales, children can get character values from the animal characters who are the actors.There are stories of friendship, attitudes to living in harmony, and attitudes to help each other.
