Trilogi Karakter Manusia Bermartabat dan Implikasinya pada Pendidikan

摘要

: The Trilogy of Dignified Human Characters and Its Implications for Education. The present study describes human characters making up unified personality reqisite for the attainment of better life quality. These characters can be worked about through cultural transformation, particularly, life-long education. Analysis of the national characters as stipulated in the preamble of the Indonesian Constitution (UUD 1945), interviews with notable public figures, first-hand observations of eastern-western cultural contacts in the East West Center, analysis of the Islamic teachings, and analysis of the global dynamics were made. All these indicate that Indonesian people as members of the global community have the intents to arrive at dignified life requiring the trilogy of characters including peace, independence, and justice. The corollary is that in order to materialize quality life, cultural transformation through life-long education centering around the notions of peace, independence, and justice is inevitable.
