Abstract

Background:  Indonesia's cultural diversity constitutes vital social capital that must be nurtured through education from an early age. Elementary school is a strategic level for instilling tolerance, mutual respect, cooperation, and appreciation of diversity. However, multicultural education in Indonesian schools still faces obstacles such as limited contextual learning media, memorization-oriented teaching, and minimal integration of local cultural values. Objective:  This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of a Javanese-Sundanese culture-based educational comic (JASUN) as a multicultural learning medium for elementary school students. Methods:  This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method following Reeves’ Design-Based Research (DBR) model, combined with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests, then analyzed descriptively and inferentially using validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity, and independent-samples t-tests. Results:  The JASUN comic was declared valid for use by media, content, and language experts, the tolerance-attitude instrument showed strong reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.835), and the experimental class's tolerance score rose from 29.57 to 34.80, significantly higher than the control class (t = 5.008, p = 0.000 < 0.05), confirming that the comic effectively improved students' tolerance attitudes. Conclusion:  These findings provide conceptual, methodological, and empirical contributions to the development of culturally responsive learning media and to strengthening multicultural education practice at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Background:  Few learning media integrate multicultural values rooted in local culture through observational learning for elementary school students. This gap is addressed by developing a multicultural educational comic grounded in Bandura's social learning theory within the Javanese-Sundanese (Jasun) community, positioning characters and storylines as models of tolerant behavior. Beyond the national setting, this concern mirrors a wider global agenda for tolerance and inclusive education. Objective:  The study develops a Javanese-Sundanese based multicultural educational comic and formulates learning design principles that effectively build tolerance attitudes among elementary school students. Methods:  A research and development (R&D) design following Reeves' model, grounded in Design-Based Research, guided problem analysis, solution development, iterative testing, and reflection. Participants were 60 elementary school students (30 experimental, 30 control) and their teachers in Brebes Regency. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and a validated pretest-posttest instrument, then analyzed using combined qualitative and quantitative methods. Results: The comic achieved a high feasibility rating and significantly increased tolerance attitudes, with the experimental group's posttest mean (34.80) exceeding the control group's (30.73), t-test p = 0.000. The study also yields design principles for multicultural comics grounded in observational learning, emphasizing character modeling, cultural representation, and contextual narrative. Conclusion:  The findings offer conceptual, methodological, and practical contributions for developing culturally grounded multicultural education media in elementary schools.
