Development Of Local Wisdom-Based Teaching Materials Assisted By Book Creator For Pancasila Education On The Topic Of Appreciating Diversity In Grade V Elementary School

Abstract

This study was motivated by the limited availability of innovative teaching materials in Pancasila Education learning. This study aimed to develop local wisdom-based teaching materials assisted by the Book Creator application and to determine their validity and effectiveness in teaching the topic of “Appreciating Diversity” to Grade V elementary school students. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4-D development model, consisting of Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination stages. The participants were 18 Grade V students at SD Negeri 064971. Data were collected using material and language expert validation sheets, a teacher response questionnaire, and learning achievement tests. The results showed that the developed teaching materials obtained a validity score of 100% from both the material and language experts, indicating a highly valid category. The teacher response reached 92.5%, indicating a highly effective category. Students’ learning outcomes also improved, as demonstrated by an increase in the mean score from 49.72 on the pre-test to 90.83 on the post-test. The N-Gain score was 0.81, categorized as high, while learning mastery reached 94.4%. Therefore, the developed local wisdom-based teaching materials assisted by Book Creator are valid and effective as an alternative learning resource for Pancasila Education, particularly in teaching the topic of “Appreciating Diversity” to Grade V elementary school students.
