In this modernization era, more
schools are following government
regulations to use the full day school
system, that is considered able to make
students able forward, develop, compete
and able to survive in this era. According
to Arifin (2012: 107) "Learning with full
day school system requires school
planning learning from morning to
evening”. In another word Full Day
School, is a school that conducts teaching
and learning activities from morning at
half 7 to 3 pm. And this system is carried
out in five school days. The purpose of this
system is to take up a little of their time to
be allocated to study in school or to do
activities in schools which are certainly
under the supervision of teachers.
Character education in the full-day
school system, is one way or strategy to
overcome the erosion of the uncivilized
character in the era of modernization. At
school, students will always be monitored
by teachers in the school. At least this way,
can reduce the time a teenager to do things
that are not useful. Seeing this fact, to
deliver Indonesian children who will face a
very competitive era of globalization,
MAN 2 Model Medan uses a more in-
depth education system that is carried out
at school by increasing the hours of
subjects so the time that is owned by
students is more mostly done at school and
carry out positive activities that exist at the
school carry out learning conducted at
school starting from morning to evening.

free to set its own subject schedule while
still referring to the national standard time
allocation as a minimum standard and
according to the weight of the subject, the
most important are the methods in each
subject that aim so that students do not get
bored in teaching and learning activities.
The purpose of this research is to analyse
the implementation of full day scholl
toward creating students’ character at
school. It did not escape the positive
school activities and will help the
formation of the character of each student.
And this study will be discuss about
adventages and disadvantages of full day
school. The problem of the research was
how full day school can affect the
student’s characteristic.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research was conducted based
on qualitative research . This model is
proposed by Borg & Taylor (1990).
According to Borg & Taylor (1990),
qualitative research us a research that
produces descriptive data in the form of
written or oral words from people and
behaves that can be observed directed at
the background and individuals
holistically. Thus, the research data comes
from interview script, field notes,
photographs, personal documents, notes or
memos, and other official document.
The subjects of this research is vice

was conducted “Full Day School”.
Technique of collecting data is by using
observation and interview. This interview
method is used to know and get the data

the researchers compile a list of questions
that will use as a guide in interview

All qualitative data analysis
techniques are closely related to the data
collection method, namely observation,
interviews and focus group discussions.
Sometimes even a theory chosen is closely
related technically to the data collection
method and the data analysis method
(Burhan Bungin, 2007: 79). This research
uses an interactive analysis model. Miles

confirms that in the analysis qualitative
data is carried out interactively and is

that the data is saturated, data analysis

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
Man 2 Model Medan is one of the
schools located in Medan. This school has
also implemented a full day school system
since 2014. This school has also used the
Curriculum of 2013. That is why the full
day school program was implemented to
realize the Curriculum of 2013 and also to
improve the quality of learning in the field
is
models.
The effective learning time starts at
07-15 – 14-45 WIB. After that there are
additional classes from 15.00-18.00. Full
day school is only held for five days, from
Monday-Friday. While on Saturday, after
returning from school at 13.00 WIB
students can take part in extracurricular
activities until the appointed time. This
applies to all students, namely classes X,
XI, and XII.
Man 2 Model Medan has a main
program that is overall, namely character
education. In addition, at full day school
students are expected to memorize the
surahs in the Al-Qur'an. Not only are
those, for class XII there special lessons
that must be taken by students to prepare
for the National Final Exam (UN). Every
Dzuhur or Ashar students will go to the
mosque which is located next to the
school. It aims to train and guide students
to carry out their obligations.
Programs owned by the school in
carrying out character education include
starting from how to behave, how to dress,
how to meet friends, meet with teachers,
and worship habits starting from Dzuhur
and Ashar held together in the mosque.
Not only that, every day except Monday
and Friday, there is a morning ceremony.
The morning ceremony was held to train
students to be independent and students
can also give lectures to other friends.
Meanwhile, on Friday every morning
students are expected to be able to read
Yasin and quote Infaq. When entering the
class students pray before learning begins.
The supporting factors
implementing full day school are human
resources, teaching staff, and everything
including school facilities
infrastructure that support
implementation of full day school. This
can be seen from the comfortable
classrooms, students can decorate their
own classes and also clean them according
to the schedule of pickets that are
available.
The inhibiting factor itself comes
from outside the school (external), namely
the association of students when out of
school, as well as some students who are
still carried away by association in junior
high school. And also parents are one of
the factors inhibiting due to lack of
attention tothe association of children. So
when it is outside of school, the teacher
cannot control students anymore. The
success of education is not only
determined by those who are in school but
the family and the environment also
influence.
The implementation of full day
school emphasizes the inculcation of
character values that can be grouped into
activities outside the classroom and inside
the classroom. The implementation of full
day school students automatically spend
more time with the teacher and their
friends at school so that the relationship
between the teacher and students is not
for
only when learning, but the teacher can
also guide and become a close feature with
students.
and
the Character education not only
teaches what is right and wrong to
students, but also instills good habits so
the students can understand and want to
carry them out. Thus character education
carries the same mission with moral
education or moral education (Marzuki
2015: 23). Understanding character values
that can be done through the learning
process and other activities by providing
motivation and advice to students so that
students are able to feel and distinguish
what is good to do and what is bad to
avoid.
CONCLUSION
In the implementation of a full day
school system in student character
education at MAN 2 Model Medan, there
are several activities that can begrouped
into activities outside of learning and
activitiesin learning. The form of activities
outside of learning including: Dhuha
prayer in congregation, Ashar prayerin
congregation, murajaah juz 30 before
prayer, infaq every Monday andFriday,
alms of rice, arranging mats for prayer in
congregation.
Value of religious character,
discipline and social care are expected to
be formed through Duha prayer activities
in congregation, murajaah before prayer,
arranging matsfor prayer in congregation,
ashar prayer in congregation, infaq every
Monday and Friday, alms rice every
month. While the value of the love
character of the motherland, responsible,
hard work and independent are expected to
be formedthrough arranging mats for
congregational prayers and singing
Indonesia Raya song.
Activities in learning with the
implementation of full day schoolstudents
have more time to learn.Supporting factors
for the implementation of the full day
school system in education. Student
characters include educators who support
and haveagreed to implement full day
school and the facilities and infrastructure
that is inadequate schools for the
implementation of full day school. As for
factorsthe obstacles include parents who
pay less attention to their children,the
influence of student interaction outside of
school, public transportation is difficul to
be accessed, and there are also inhibiting
factors that come from participantsstudents
who are less active in participating in
activities at school.
