Abstract

Karakter berwawasan luas dipahami sebagai cara pandang seseorang dengan perspektif yang luas untuk memahami diri, tanggap, dapat mengambil keputusan serta berperilaku positif. Rendahnya minat baca anak dan maraknya kasus bullying menggambarkan rendahnya karakter berwawasan luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan buku teks tentang peradaban jalan berbasis Project Based Learning untuk menumbuhkan karakter berwawasan luas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research & Development (R&D) tipe ADDIE. Sepuluh guru tersertifikasi terlibat dalam analisis kebutuhan, lima guru dan lima ahli sebagai expert judgement, delapan anak sebagai subjek uji coba buku secara terbatas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 1) buku tentang peradaban jalan berbasis Project Based Learning untuk menumbuhkan karakter berwawasan luas dikembangkan dengan langkah-langkah ADDIE; 2) Kualitas buku masuk dalam kriteria “Sangat baik” (3,83 pada skala 1-4) dan tidak perlu revisi; 3) penerapan buku teks peradaban rumah berbasis Project Based Learning berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap karakter berwawasan luas (p< 0,05) dengan pengaruh kategori besar (r= 0,99 ) (setara dengan 98%). Tingkat efektivitas tergolong “Tinggi” (N-gain score sebesar 84,66%). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, pengembangan buku teks tentang peradaban jalan berbasis PjBL dapat menumbuhkan karakter berwawasan luas anak secara signifikan.Broad-minded character is understood as a person’s perspective to view themselves comprehensively, to be responsive, to make decisions, and to behave positively. The low reading interest among children and the prevalence of bullying cases illustrated a lack of broad-minded character. This study aimed to develop a textbook on road civilization based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to foster broad-minded character. This research used the Research & Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. Ten certified teachers were involved in the needs analysis, five teachers and five experts acted as expert judges and eight children participated as limited trial subjects. The study results showed that (1) the textbook on road civilization based on Project-Based Learning to foster broad-minded character was developed following the ADDIE steps; (2) the quality of the book fell under the "Very Good" category (3.83 on a scale of 1–4) and did not require revisions; (3) the implementation of the textbook on home civilization based on Project-Based Learning significantly influenced broad-minded character (p < 0.05) with a large effect size (r = 0.99), equivalent to 98%. The effectiveness level was categorized as "High" (N-gain score of 84.66%). Based on the research findings, the development of the textbook on road civilization based on PjBL significantly fostered children’s broad-minded character.
