Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia (UAJ) perceives the whole process of education as a systematic process to form excellent character, whether through curricular, cocurricular and extracurricular activities. Instead of designing a specific course that teaches the formation of character, UAJ maximizes the three activities (curricular, cocurricular and extracurricular) through an integrative approach to forming the excellent character. Integrative character of education presupposes the operation of a model or particular "software" in any phase of learning called dialogue-affirmation-action. The question of whether the approach to learning and character models is quite successful in UAJ is still to be proven. Neverthless, what has been done so far placed UAJ on the right track. Careful planning and quick decision at university level regarding the existence of character building center will ensure the success of character education in UAJ. |
