This paper reviews the various studies about the characters and its developments in the DE context, and some of the efforts made by DE providers.
Studi tentang karakter dan pengembangannya dalam sistem pendidikan jarak jauh (SPJJ) masih merupakan ikhtiar yang baru intensif dilakukan sejak periode 2000an. Sekalipun demikian, berbagai studi memperlihatkan kecenderungan yang jelas pada 4 pengembangan karakter, yaitu karakter kinerja, relasional, moral, dan spiritual. Pengembangan keempat karakter tersebut direfleksikan dan terintegrasi di dalam berbagai konteks penggunaan desain dan medium teknologi PJJ, dan sekaligus menjadi karakteristik atau ciri khas dalam studi dan pengembangan karakter pada SPJJ. Tulisan ini akan meninjau berbagai studi tentang karakter dan pengembangannya dalam konteks SPJJ; dan beberapa ikhtiar yang telah dilakukan oleh institusi PJJ dalam pengembangan karakter.
