information technology that causes the world to become a small village, while the negative impact is
the occurrence of moral, character, mentality degradation in ethics of living in a society and nation,
particularly in youth generation. This can be seen from the frequent of social conflicts such as
brawls, riots, students' conflict and the strengthening of the separatism phenomenon that need to
wary. Therefore the impact of globalization forces us to revisit our nationalism understanding. To
anticipate it, we must stick to the formed values of our country. These values represented in our
national hero's character in fighting for independence. The teacher as the stakeholder of education
must be able to transform and internalize those values which can be used as a fortress to overcome
the fading character of the nation's children. It can be implemented by utilize national heroes in
maximizing the learning quality, moreover, they can develop nations' values in the learning process.
Departing from these problems, this study aims to transform the character values of Martha Christina
Tiahahu in learning history. This research is intended to fend off the negative impact of globalization
in the term of moral degradation. The method used in this study was historical analysis, a method
that used to reconstruct the past events systematically and objectively by collecting and evaluating
conclusions related to the historical facts. |
