have become one of the problems of Indonesia’s most
important life in the 21st century. Many juvenile
delinquency, which mimics westernism and outside
Islamic values occur in society. For example, in re-
cent times, there have often been problems with fights
between students to casualties because only a matter
of ridicule, sexual harassment by male students to fe-
male students that is more heart-staking is that bad
behavior has been carried out by students who still in
the stage of basic education.
If the causes are examined, of course there are
many factors responsible in the above, including the
basic factors forming from within the family, educa-
tion and the school environment, the community en-
vironment, the education system in this case the cur-
riculum, regulations and laws that apply, the role of
the ulama council community leaders and there may
be many other factors. Nata argues that the problem
of failure in the world of education in Indonesia is due
to the world of education so far that only foster intel-
lectual intelligence, insight and skills alone, without
being balanced with emotional intelligence (Nata and
Abuddin, 2012).
The task of a teacher, not just transferring knowl-
edge, but more than that is to educate, build the char-
acter of students to become dignified human beings.
In this case, including mathematics teachers have the
same responsibility in fostering the character / morals
of students. Direct guidance in schools for students
who have problems is done through a counseling pro-
cess. In this case, Counseling guidance teachers have
real functions and responsibilities in fostering stu-
dents who have problems. These problems can be in
the form of learning difficulties, and psychiatric coun-
seling of students. One of the learning difficulties in
question is in mathematics learning.
The solution offered by the government in over-
coming the above problem is the creation of a char-
acter education curriculum in Indonesia. Character
education in the religious language is moral educa-
tion or religious value education. There are quite a lot
of cultural values and national character that can be
integrated in learning or education in schools. These
values are: 1) religious, 2) honest, 3) tolerance, 4)
discipline, 5) hard work, 6) creative, 7) independent,
8) democratic, 9) curiosity, 10) national spirit, 11)
love for the country, 12) respect for achievement, 13)
friendly / communicative, 14) love for peace, 15) love
to read, 16) care for the environment, 17) care for the
social, and 18) responsibility.
All these character values are conditional on the
concept of moral values in Islam. This is also sup-
ported by the Government through the formulation of
the RI National Education System Law No. 20 of
2003 article 339, which implies that the purpose of In-
donesian education directs its citizens to religious life
(Supari, Yossi, 2005). Mathematics subjects equip
students with the ability to think logically, analyti-
cally, systematically, critically, and creatively, and the
ability to cooperate. This competency is needed so
that students can have the ability to obtain, manage,
and use information to survive in conditions that are
always changing, uncertain, and competitive.
The apprehensive character degradation lately
arises in the world of education, such as cases of na-
tional examination fraud, in which the Federation of
Indonesian Teachers’ Unions noted structural fraud
in the SMA and SMK National Exams in seven re-
gions, namely in North Sumatra, Central Java-Brebes,
Muna-Southeast Sulawesi Island, Bekasi-West Java,
Pandeglang-Banten and DKI Jakarta. According to
Retno Listyani as FSGI Secretary General, this data
was collected from high school, vocational and MA
level teachers. The fraud that occurred was already a
planned structural fraud and involved students, teach-
ers, schools and examiners (Rachmah, 2013).
(Marsigit, 2011)Marsigit (2011) suggested that
the implementation of character education in math-
ematics learning has implications for the teacher’s
function as a facilitator as well as possible so stu-
dents can learn mathematics optimally. Mathematics
is planned not to be taught by the teacher but to be
learned by students. Students are placed as the center
of mathematics learning. The teacher is tasked with
creating the atmosphere, providing facilities and oth-
ers and the role of the teacher is more managerial than
the teacher.
Counseling has the function of improvement,
namely the function of guidance and counseling
which will result in the fragmentation or overcoming
of various problems experienced by students. This
is also the same as character building which also has
an improvement function, namely fixing the charac-
ter of students who ultimately embody good character
and potentially as dignified students (Widyaningsih,
2013).
To carry out the functions and achieve the goals of
education above, the government, schools and com-
munities certainly have a very important and strategic
role. This important role is expected to run syner-
gistically and support each other so that the achieve-
ment of the national education goals above can be re-
alized optimally by the Indonesian people. This ef-
fort is certainly inseparable from the cultural culture
and character of the Indonesian people themselves.
In this case, it included cooperation between math-
ematics subject teachers and counseling tutors at the
school.
