Social Piety Index for Character Building in Indonesia: A Case Study of The Society of Mojokerto City

Abstrak

Since 2010, National Character Development has been a program. This
nationwide initiative faces fairly significant issues due to the dynamics and
changes in the life patterns of individuals. To revitalize the national program,
the national movement of mental revolution was then established in 2016. This
program's implementation was crucial, but it did not appear to have a precise
evaluation system to measure its success. Therefore, a system of evaluation
that could generate index documents of the success rate was required. Social
Piety Index was the community behavior survey that had been conducted
(Indeks Kesalehan Sosial-IKS). This survey examined the level of social piety
and produced a document with an index of accomplishments. Consequently,
the IKS record may be utilized as a depiction of the evolution of the
community's character. Utilizing a quantitative approach with statistical
analysis, the survey method employed was quantitative. The acquired result
revealed that both the knowledge and attitude data were strong, but the level
of correlation between the two was poor. The combination of a high piety
index and a low correlation suggested that it was necessary to address
additional concerns. These additional characteristics required specialized
investigation to be revealed. The establishment of the IKS was essential,
particularly if it served as an evaluation system and measuring tool for the
accomplishment of national character building.
