Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji nilai-nilai karakter yang dikandung oleh teks

narasi dalam salah satu buku sekolah elektronik bahasa inggris untuk SMA yang kemudian menentukan apakah teks tersebut layak diberikan sebagai materi pembelajaran atau tidak. Penelitian ini menggunakan design kualitatif, khususnya dengan pendekatan intrinsik dengan analisis menggunakan teori Warren dan Wellek (1962: 139) dan juga digunakan oleh Schirova (2006) yang menyatakan bahwa analisis teks harus berawal dari struktur intrinsik teks itu sendiri. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ada beberapa nilai karakter yang terintegrasi dalam teks yang dikaji, baik itu nilai yang sesuai dengan kurikulum maupun tidak, sehingga ada beberapa teks yang tidak disarankan untuk diberikan pada siswa. Penilitian ini ditutup dengan justifikasi bahwa guru harus dengan teliti memilih bahan ajar karena penelitian ini menemukan bahwa tidak semua text sesuai dengan kurikulum.

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the character values in narrative texts in

an electronic textbook of English for senior high school, which further to decide whether the texts are good to be given as materials for students. This research employs a qualitative reseacrh design, especially an intrinsic approach, using Warren and Wellek theory (1962, p. 139) which is also used by Schirova (2006) who believes that an analysis of text should start from the intrinsic structures of the text itself. The findings indicated that there are some of the character values integrated in the texts, both good and innapropriate character values according to the curriculum, so that it makes some of the texts are not recommended to be given to the students. The research concludes with a justification that it is suggested for teacher to choose the material wisely due to the finding which tells that not all narrative text suit curriculum.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses several points that cover background of the research, research questions, aims of the research, scope of the research, significance of the research, research methodology, clarification of key terms, and organization of the paper.

1.1 Background of the Research

Character has been an ongoing issue in the educational area since long time ago. Since 2001, character development had been cited more than 16,000 times, with a variety of different meanings and approaches reported in the research of literature (Burns, 2012, p. 3).

Behavior and good personality are very important to be counted. As Lexmond and Reeves (2009, p. 11) state “Being of “good character” means excelling a good

life”.Otten (2002, p. 1) even says that character development is the most important foundation in education. With a good character, students will be more settled in life. School could be said as one of the most important elements that isresponsible for the character development of the students.

Now people realize that character capabilities are becoming more important for their life while at educational life still the basic skill of literacy and numeracy matter more (Lexmond and Reeves, 2009, p. 14). Therefore, it is important to note that school should make affective aspects to be counted as much as cognitive aspect.

Furthermore, if we recall, character values of the students have also been a matter in Indonesia. There are cases that show the failure on educational field. Recently, Indonesia got very shocking news. A high school student in Jakarta threw the acid water to the bus passengers. 13 innocent people became victims and suffered from a serious injury (Kompas, October 14, 2013). There are also students in Situbondo who were caught fighting just because of a girl (Kompas, December 23, 2012). Still from the fight between students, there are many victims that suffered from not only a light injury, but also death. As written on Kompas (February 21, 2013), a student in Jakarta was dead on a street due to the fight between students. The cases show how poor the character values in Indonesia are and these thus needs to be addressed in education field. We could imagine when the students, the young generation that is expected to be well educated act like that. What they will become in the future is doubted. It could affect their personality as a grown up too. For example we could hear many cases related to money fraud that can harm the entire nation. The current news regarding the corruption happened to the head of Constitutional Court. We believe that he is an intelligent person who has high grade in cognitive aspect, but with low character values, he failed. In contrast, when the students have good values, they will be prevented from something that could harm themselves and the others.

There are two principles in infusing the character values based on Sulistyowati (2012, p. 127): The material and the process should be interesting. One of the learning media that provide a fun and interesting way to learn is through narrative. Narrative has two characteristics: a good language and a good content (Noor, 2011, p. 17). Noor (2011, p. 17) adds that a good language gives the reader entertainment while a good content provides character values. The teacher could consider thenarrative as a good medium in developing the character of the students. When the teacher reads and gives the studentsnarrative, indirectly, they contribute in making the students’ character (Haris and friends, 2009, as cited by Noor, 2011, p. 37). Narrative can help students to discuss and think about character values and it can

(9)

improve the textbooks’ effectiveness on students’ attitudes about the character traits (Tyra, 2010). Tyra (2010) adds that story could be a good way in changing students’ attitudes. Unfortunately, not all narrative has good moral values for the students (Hazel, 2007, p. 6). Teacher should select the material carefully to prevent the misleading message. The wrong message could harm students’ personality because the values contained on the story will be internalized into students’ subconciousness and affect them until they are grown up (Hazel, 2007, p. 6).

With regard to the case, narrative text could be used as a potential material to infuse character values. Narrative texts as learning and teaching materials could be found in bse/buku sekolah elektronik or electronic textbook. It is a textbook that is administrated and uploaded by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia for the students that could be downloaded freely.

Many studies had been conducted in regard to character values on the narrative text. This research has the relevance with the previous studies about the character values on narrative text.One of them is the research by Panichas (2000) entitled Moral Sense in Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim which employs the fourth novel of Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim. The research focus on finding the moral values contained by the novel.The other research is entitled The Moral Value of Literature by Yolkowski (2011). Yolkowski makes a review on how moral values is conveyed by the novels. The other research is conducted by Brno (2008) entitled Man and Moral Philosophy In Tthe Novels of Iris Murdoch. The research investigates how moral philosophy is related to narrative fiction. The current research aims to continue the study on the character values contained by the narrative text but focuses more on the narrative texts in the bse/buku sekolah elektronik (electronic textbook) for senior high school as materials that could be used in teaching-learningprocess.

Based on the background explained, it would be very interesting and useful to conduct the research. The result of the research is expected to give a contribution in

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

educational field especially in giving the reference in how to analyze the narrative text so that the material could be effective in developing students’ character.

1.2 Research Questions

This research will answer these questions:

a. What character values are contained in the narrative texts analyzed?

b. Are the narrative texts recommended for the students considering the character values contained?

1.3 Aims of the Research

Based on the research questions, theresearch is expected to find out: a. Character values contained in the narrative texts analyzed;

b. Whether the narrative texts are recommended for students considering the character values contained.

1.4 Scope of the Research

The research will be focused on the analysis of the character values in the narrative texts in bse/buku sekolah elektronik (electronic textbook) entitled Developing English Competencies for Senior High School Grade XII of Natural and Social Science Program, one of the textbook for senior high school.

(11)

The research is expected to give a valuable significance both for theoretical, practical and professional aspects.

1.5.1 Theoretical significance

The result of the research is expected to enrich the relevant theory about how to analyze the material especially narrative texts with regard to the character values contained.

1.5.2 Practical significance

Theresearch is one of the ways to give an experience to the researcher that could be useful to enrich the ability to be a good teacher and choose the right materials to reach the goals.

1.5.3 Professional significance

The research hopefully could give the enrichment of knowledge for the teachers about how to do the analysis on the narrative texts to find out the character values conveyed.

1.6 Research Methodology

A. Research Design

a. This researchuses descriptive qualitative research which deals with non-numerical data. Croker (2009, p. 4) defines descriptive qualitative

(12)

6 Intani Pertiwi, 2014

An Analysis Of Character Values In Narrative Texts In A Bse/Buku Sekolah Elektronik (Electronic Textbook) Of English For Senior High School

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

method as collecting textual data by using interpretative analysis rather than statistical method.

b. This research uses objective approach. Objective approach deals with a work of literature as something which stands free from what is often called "extrinsic" relations to the text, or to the audience, or to the environing world (Abrams, 1999, p. 53). It describes the literary product as a self-sufficient and autonomous object which is to be contemplated as its own end, and to be analyzed and judged solely by intrinsic structures (Abrams, 1999, p. 53). Objective approach is also known as intrinsic analysis. This approach is autonomous and ignores the extrinsic structures. Because the approach ignores the extrinsic structures to be analyzed, so the primer source that should be analyzed is on the text itself that is the intrinsic structures.

B. Subject of the Research

This research employs the narrative texts in one of the BSE for twelfth grader of senior high school entitled Developing English Competencies for Senior High School Grade XII of Natural and Social Science Program. The main focus of the research is analyzing the elements of the texts as a whole and interprets it to get the character education conveyed by the texts.

C. Data Analysis

In analyzing the data, the research referred to intrinsic analysis. Intrinsic analysis is suggested by Warren and Wellek (1962) in their book “Theory of

Literature”. Warren and Wellek (1962, p. 139) states that the starting point to work in

narrative text is the interpretation and the analysis of the works of the text itself. However, they are only character and characterization, setting and plot which is included to the factual structures of the text that are mostly analyzed (Stanton, 2012,

(13)

p. 22). So, the analysis will focus on character and characterization, setting and plot.The data are analyzed through the steps:

a. Read the texts several times.

b. Determine the intrinsic structures will be analyzed. c. Analyze the intrinsic structures.

d. Interpret the character education conveyed by the text according to the intrinsic elements analyzed.

1.8 Clarification of Terms a. _{Character Values}

Lewis (2006, p. 8) states that character values are the unseen qualities including thoughts, ideas, beliefs that make us who we are and results honesty, fairness, respects as the character trait.

b. _{Narrative text}

According to Bruner (2002, as cited by Hazel, 2007, p. 3), a narrative text is a text containing of sequence of events, mental states, happenings involving characters or actors.

c. _Textbook

Textbook is the collection of materials that could be used by the teacher as a learning-teaching material that is made to support the curriculum’s need (Olinger, 2010, p. 3-8).

1.9 Paper organization

The paper is presented in five chapters, as follow: CHAPTER I : INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER V: CONCLUSION

This chapter presents the conclusion and several suggestions for improving teaching ability in choosing narrative text as learning material to figure out the characters values contained and decide whether it is good or not for the students.

(15)

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY

Research needs methodology. In general, methodology guides the researcher on how the research is conducted. This chapter elaborates the design of the research, subject of the research, data collection and data analysis.

3.1 Design of the Research

This point elaborates type of the research and the approach used in conducting the research.

3.1.1 Method

The research uses descriptive qualitative research which deals with non-numerical data. Croker (2009, p. 4) defines descriptive qualitative method as collecting textual data by using interpretative analysis rather than statistical method, remember that this reseacrh deals with analyzing narrative texts and interpreting the text rather than analyzing the number.

3.1.2 Approach

Approach means a way to approach an object. Approach is one of the most important things in the research because it relates to the method of the research. There are some approaches, as suggested by Abrams (1999, p. 52), that could be used to analyze the narrative text: Mimetic, pragmatic, expressive and objective approach.

This research uses objective approach because as Abrams (1999, p. 53) proposes, the best way to analyze the text is to analyze the intrinsic structure of it

(16)

25 Intani Pertiwi, 2014

An Analysis Of Character Values In Narrative Texts In A Bse/Buku Sekolah Elektronik (Electronic Textbook) Of English For Senior High School

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu

solely. Objective approach deals with a work of literature as something which stands free from what is often called "extrinsic" relations to the text, or to the audience, or to the environing world (Abrams, 1999, p. 53). This approach is autonomous and ignores the extrinsic elements. Objective approach is also known as intrinsic analysis. Because the approach ignores the extrinsic elements to be analyzed, so the primary source that should be analyzed is on the text itself that is the intrinsic elements.

3.2 Subject of the Research

This research employs one of the bse/buku sekolah elektronic (electronic textbook) of English for twelfth grader of senior high school entitled Developing English Competencies for Senior High School Grade XII of Natural and Social Science Programmes written by Doddy, Sugeng and Effendy (2008) administrated by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. It consists of 173 pages of five chapters. It covers 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. It also provides exercises for each chapter, final evaluation, bibliography, photo credits, glossary, index, listening script and answer keys. Each chapter provides functional texts and narrative texts could be found in chapter one, three, four and five. The totals of narrative texts in the book are 10 texts. They are the Purse of Gold, Sangkuriang, Doctor Knowall, the Story of Bagobo, A Good Lesson, the Lazybones, the Story of Embok Gendong, the Man and the Serpent, the Princess and the Pea, and the Lion and the Mouse.

The main focuses of the research are analyzing the elements of texts and interpreting it to get the character values conveyed.

(17)

3.3 Data Analysis

In analyzing the data, the research referred to intrinsic analysis. Intrinsic analysis is suggested by Warren and Wellek (1962) on their book “Theory of

Literature”. Warren and Wellek (1962, p. 139) state that the starting point to work in narrative text is the interpretation and the analysis of the works of the text itself. Warren and Wellek suggest that what to do in analyzing the text using intrinsic analysis is enhancing the evidence from the texts. However, they are only character and characterization, setting and plot which are included to the factual structures of the text that are mostly analyzed (Stanton, 2012, p. 22). So, the analysis will focus on character and characterization, setting and plot.

The data are collected through the steps: a. Reading the texts several times;

b. Determining the intrinsic structures which will be analyzed; c. Analyzing the intrinsic structures based on the textual evidences;

d. Interpreting the character values conveyed by the text according to the intrinsic structures analyzed.

The subjectivity in interpreting the moral education contained in the narratives texts might happen (Nurgiyantoro, 2010, p. 324) since it depends on how the readers interpret it. However, there is a suggestion to maintain subjectivity at a near zero level is by sticking to the text which is analyzed (Mucchieli, 1979, as cited by Drapeau, 2002).

The example of data analysis is presented in the tables below. Further elabortion of the data in completed explanation is presented in chapter IV.

The Purse of Gold

A beggar found a leather purse that someone had dropped in a market place. Opening it, he discovered that it contained 100 pieces of gold. Then he heard a

merchant shouted, “A reward to the one who find my leather purse!”

Being an honest man, the beggar came forward and handed the purse to the

merchant saying. “Here is your purse. Will you keep your word to give a reward now?”

“Reward?” scoffed the merchant greedily counting the amount of gold. “The

purse I dropped had 200 pieces of gold in it. You’ve already stolen more than the

reward I’ll give to you! Go away or I’ll tell you to the police.”

“I’m an honest man,” said the beggar defiantly. “Let’s take this matter to the court!”

In the court, the judge patiently listened to both side of story and said, “I believe you both. Justice is possible! Merchant, you stated that the purse you lost

contained 200 pieces of gold. Well, that’s a considerable cost. But the purse the beggar found had only 100 pieces of gold. Therefore, it couldn’t be the one you lost.”

And with that, the judge gave the purse and all the gold to the beggar. a. Character and Characterization

CONCLUSION

This chapter contains conclusion and suggestions from this research. Conclusion is derived from the discussion and finding in this research. Besides, this chapter also suggests several aspects dealing with the narrative texts as learning material analysis for the teacher and further researchers.

5.1 Conclusion

Choosing the right material not only should be based on it’s cognitive aspects but also it’s affective aspects. One of the affective aspects is character values. Character values are proposed by the curriculum. There are 18 character values based on curriculum to be integrated to the learning process. One way to integrate them is infusing them in the narrative text as the learning material, as it is told to be an effective way in teaching character values by many theories.

There is one way to analyze the narrative text to find out the character values inside, it is using intrinsic approach that focuses on analyzing the intrinsic structures that build the story.

Using intrinsic approach, it is found that there are 7 character values of 18 values that could be integrated in the narrative text.

The character values that suit the 7 character values proposed by the curriculum are honesty that is found in “the Purse of Gold” and “the Lion and the

Mouse”, hardwork that is found in “the Lazybones”, independence which is conveyed

by “the Story of Bagobo”, appreciation that is shown by “the Lazybones”, the value

(23)

conveyed by “the Lazybones”, “the story of Mbok Gendong”, and “the Lion and the

Mouse” and responsibility which is shown in “A Good Lesson”.

violated by “Sangkuriang” and “dr. Knowall”, hardwork which is opposed by “the

Princess and the Pea” and peace which is opposed by “Sangkuriang” and “the Man

and the Serpent”.

According to the analysis, which figured out that not only the narrative texts contains good character values, there must be recommended narrative texts and not recommended narrative texts. From 10 narrative texts analyzed, there are 6 narratives texts that are considered to be recommended narrative texts in regard to the character values contained. The 6 recommended narrative texts are: The Purse of Gold, the Lion and the Mouse,A good Lesson, the Lazybones that contains hardwork, the Story of Mbok Gendong, the Story of Bagobo, while there are 4 narrative texts which are considered to be bad to be given to the students considering the character values contained in the texts that do not suit the values proposed by curriculum KTSP. The 4 narrative texts that are not recommended to be given to the students are: The Man and the Serpent, dr. Knowall, Sangkuriang and the Princess and the Pea.

5.2 Suggestion

Based on the research that has been conducted, some suggestions are proposed as folow:

1. The teachers should be more careful in choosing the material for the students because the finding shows that 4 from 10 narrative texts are inapropriate for the students considering the character values contained.

(24)

2. Intrinsic approach could be a good way to analyze the text since the starting point of the text is the intrinsic structure of the text itself.

3. The next researchers could consider to conduct research on the same field to analyze the character values contained in the materials in the textbook for learning process.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION

5.1 Conclusion

There is one way to analyze the narrative text to find out the character values inside, it is using intrinsic approach that focuses on analyzing the intrinsic structures that build the story.

Using intrinsic approach, it is found that there are 7 character values of 18 values that could be integrated in the narrative text.

The character values that suit the 7 character values proposed by the curriculum are honesty that is found in “the Purse of Gold” and “the Lion and the Mouse”, hardwork that is found in “the Lazybones”, independence which is conveyed by “the Story of Bagobo”, appreciation that is shown by “the Lazybones”, the value of peace that is shown by “the Purse of Gold”, the value of social caring which is

conveyed by “the Lazybones”, “the story of Mbok Gendong”, and “the Lion and the Mouse” and responsibility which is shown in “A Good Lesson”.

Besides good character values that suit the curriculum, the narrative texts which have been analyzed also containsome values which oppose the curriculum. The character values of curriculum which are opposed by some texts are honesty which is violated by “Sangkuriang” and “dr. Knowall”, hardwork which is opposed by “the Princess and the Pea” and peace which is opposed by “Sangkuriang” and “the Man and the Serpent”.
