Abstract

Ki Hajar Dewantara emphasized that teachers encourage their students to follow the right path by inspiring and motivating them with the right thoughts. Once students are moving on the right track, teachers should try to seek every opportunity for advancement for them without much interference. Education is a demand in the life of growing children. The purpose of education is to guide all the natural forces that exist in these children so that they as human beings and as members of society can achieve the highest safety and happiness. Education is the key to success in entering the 4.0 industrial revolution and can also shape the nation's character. Writing this article uses qualitative research methods because it wants to explore descriptive phenomena that cannot be quantified. Thus, qualitative research is not only an attempt to describe data but a description of the results of valid data collection, namely through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The data collection tool or research instrument is the researcher himself, who immediately goes into the field.
