Abstract

Since the enactment of the 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia, teachers are required to be able to integrate character education in physical education (PE) as a subject presented in the 2013 Curriculum. In the implementation, PE teachers have not entirely meet the demands of the 2013 Curriculum in terms material development, method, and evaluation that have not yet explored students’ character. Therefore, this research aims at improving PE teacher physical education teachers’ understanding and skills in developing national characters such as religious, nationalist, independent, mutual cooperation, and integrity. The action research report presented in this article exemplifies the results of the work of collaborative teams involved in making critical reflective steps in developing students’ character through physical learning that has so far tended to have no value. The action implementation showed an improvement in the pedagogical competence of the teachers in developing five national characters through PE. © 2019 The authors and IJLTER.ORG.
