PERANAN GURU AGAMA HINDU DALAM MENUMBUHKEMBANGKAN KARAKTER TOLERANSI SISWA DI SMK NEGERI 1 DENPASAR

Abstrak

Learning in schools are part of efforts to improve the education of human tolerance from an early
age. Such as Vocational High School or SMK (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan), one of them is
Vocational High School 1 Denpasar which placed in the center city of Denpasar, in which the
students are not only Hindus, but there are Christianity, Moslem, etc. Therefore, tolerance and
respect between each other are needed to support the tolerance between religions; then, the role
of the teacher is very important in this case because the teacher can build up the character of
students in order to have a tolerant character in the school and in the social community later on .
The role of Hindus teachers in developing the tolerance character of student, namely through
intracurricular activities and extracurricular activities. Both of these activities have a main
contribution in the development of the tolerance character of students. The obstacles faced by
Hindus teachers in developing the tolerance character of the students are caused by two factors:
the first, the internal factor or innate factors, students interest, and emotional that are natural and
innate from within students. The second is the external factors (family, school, community, and
mass media) based on the outside of students. Thus, the students must be able to sort themselves
out and be balanced by the attention of parents and schools so that these obstacles not interfere
with the development of the student's character. The efforts made by Hindus teachers to solve these
obstacles in developing the tolerance character of studets at SMK Negeri 1 Denpasar are carried
out by applying the 3 S Attitude (Senyum, Salam dan Sapa), the habbit of some activities in the
classroom, developing the learning atmosphere.
