Abstract


Kertas kerja ini mengkaji pendidikan dan usaha watak untuk mendapatkan pelajar yang mempunyai watak melalui pendidikan humanistik di sekolah mesra kanak-kanak. Dalam merealisasikan pendidikan watak sesuai dengan harapan masyarakat, pendidikan humanis diperlukan di mana ia memberi kebebasan kepada pelajar untuk mengembangkan diri sesuai dengan kebiasaan mereka sehingga guru sebagai fasilitator hanya mengarahkan apa yang diinginkan oleh para siswa. Pendidikan humanis dijangka mewujudkan sekolah mesra kanak-kanak (CFS). Melalui sekolah mesra kanak-kanak ini, para pelajar akan dibiasakan untuk belajar dalam suasana pendidikan yang dapat menguatkan watak pelajar supaya revolusi mental dapat direalisasikan. Oleh sebab itu, kewujudan CFS memang perlu kerana sekolah adalah salah satu komponen utama dalam kehidupan mereka selain keluarga dan persekitaran mereka. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mencari dan menggambarkan strategi pendidikan revolusi mental dalam merealisasikan sekolah mesra kanak-kanak berdasarkan pengukuhan pendidikan watak. Kajian ini adalah kajian kualitatif. Data dikumpul melalui penyertaan (pemerhatian), wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif digunakan untuk analisis data. Kajian mendapati bahawa (1) Budaya Madrasa dijalankan setiap pagi di sekolah ini apabila guru menyambut para pelajar di gerbang madrasah dan mereka mengalu-alukan dengan senyuman yang mesra, berjabat tangan dan merapikan seragam pelajar, serta para pelajar sentiasa membaca Al-Qur'an, berdoa Dhuha dan berdoa kepada Zuhr dalam jemaah di sekolah. (2) aktiviti kokurikulum yang dijalankan dalam pembelajaran, (3) aktiviti kurikulum yang dijalankan pada waktu petang meliputi: (a) kegiatan keagamaan (literasi Al-Quran) (b) aktiviti seni (c) sukan pertahanan.
