"Cultural Interactive Media: Elevating Pancasila Learning in Elementary Schools"

Abstract

This study explores the impact of interactive culture-based media on fostering cooperation and respect for diversity among elementary students in Pancasila Education. Conducted over 10 weeks with 45 students and 2 teachers in a rural setting, the research utilized the ADDIE model for Research and Development. By integrating digital applications and local cultural activities into the curriculum, the study collected data through observations, interviews, and surveys, analyzed with qualitative and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed a 35% improvement in cooperation and a 20% increase in cultural understanding compared to traditional methods. These dynamic interactions nurtured a harmonious learning environment. Challenges included tailoring materials to local contexts and providing adequate teacher training. The research underscores the potential of interactive media to enrich Pancasila Education and recommends developing sustainable training modules and adaptable learning aids. Further research is suggested to evaluate long-term impacts and broader educational applications.
