Science-Based Character Building

Abstract

This study aims to (1) explain the factual cooperative learning model of the jigsaw type in elementary school, (2) explain the design of the character-based cooperative learning model that can improve understanding of science in elementary school, (3) explain the hypothetical model of character-based cooperative learning. understanding of science in elementary school after going through the validation test, (4) Explaining the final cooperative learning model based on character-based jigsaw can improve understanding of science in elementary school after going through a limited test. This study uses a Research & Development (R&D) approach. The research design used is based on the development carried out by Borg and Gall which consists of potential problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, product testing and product revision. The product produced from this research is a character-based cooperative learning model. The limited trial results also showed an increase in learning outcomes in the experimental class, from 52.90 to 80.58. The development of a character-based jigsaw-type cooperative learning model can also improve the character of being friendly and socially caring.
