Abstract

Egocentrism is a condition in which a child is too focused on themselves, causing them to feel most important and to neglect others. This study aims to describe the character education values in the fairy tales Gadis yang Pemalas and Pohon yang Sombong on the Indonesian Fairy Tales YouTube channel, and to explain the character education values in the fairy tales Gadis yang Pemalas and Pohon yang Sombong as a medium to combat egocentrism in children. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The data collection technique used in this study is observation and note-taking. The data analysis uses an interactive model according to Miles and Huberman, which consists of the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the character education values contained in the fairy tales Gadis yang Pemalas and Pohon yang Sombong are tolerance, discipline, hard work, creativity, democracy, appreciation of achievement, friendliness/communicativeness, love of peace, environmental care, social care, and responsibility. The democratic value can be used to combat the attitude of prioritizing oneself. The friendly/communicative value can be used to combat the attitude of being unwilling to cooperate. The social care value can be used to combat the attitude of expecting to be served by others. The value of tolerance can be used to combat the attitude of not considering others.
