  • The character education needs to be integrated to every course including mathematics courses in the Primary Teacher Training Program (PTTP) at Universitas Terbuka (UT). This paper will describe the result of the development research which aimed to generate a valid, effective and practical character education model in mathematics courses in PTTP. The output of the research was a tutorial kit which was incorporate with the character education. The research was conducted by purposive sampling at Jetis’ Learning Centre in Yogyakarta; one of UT’s regional offices locates in Central of Java, considering it conducted mathematic courses to be tutored. The subject of the research was 48 students who were on the second semester of 2012 academic year. The data of this research were collected in the form of the result of education character model on a kit tutorial evaluation, the observation of students’ and tutors’ activities, tutorial meeting notes and audio-video recording on tutorial meeting. The data were analyzed using qualitative analysis. The result of the study revealed that the development of the character education model of the tutorial kit has fulfilled the valid, effective and practical criteria. In addition, this model could encourage students to develop their self-directed and confident learning characters, as well as to discover basic concepts of course content to be learned. This discovered basic concept would be more durable on their mind. Therefore, such students would be more capable in dealing with a new learning situation and in solving mathematic problems.
