Abstract

This study aims to design picture books on endemic animals based on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) values to foster global citizenship character among junior high school students. Conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Pangenan and Bandung Independent School, the research involved 120 seventh-grade students in the Civics Education subject. Using the Research and Development (R&D) methodology, the study followed a systematic process of designing, developing, and validating the educational materials to ensure alignment with SDG values, particularly those promoting environmental sustainability and global responsibility. The findings indicate that the picture books not only engaged students effectively but also facilitated a deeper understanding of global citizenship through relatable local contexts. Students demonstrated an increased awareness of biodiversity and the importance of conserving endemic species as part of their civic responsibilities. The study contributes to educational literature by highlighting the potential of SDG-based picture books as impactful tools for character education, aligning with both national and international educational goals. This research offers a model for integrating global issues into local curricula, promoting a more comprehensive approach to character development that aligns with global citizenship objectives. The outcomes suggest that such materials can be beneficial in other educational settings to cultivate an appreciation for environmental stewardship and global interconnectedness among young learners.

Abstract

This research stems from the urgency of strengthening character education in the 21st century, which demands integration between students' cognitive, moral, and social competencies within the context of vocational education. The value of Responsibility as one of the main dimensions of character is considered increasingly important to be studied in depth, especially for Vocational High School (SMK) students who are prepared to face the world of work based on professional ethics. This study aims to understand the meaning of the value of Responsibility from the perspective of students at SMK Negeri 15 Bandung and to trace the process of its formation in the implementation of the Character Education Strengthening Program (PPK) and the West Java Priority Program. The research approach employed is a qualitative phenomenological design, involving 50 students as participants, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation studies, and validated by triangulation of sources, methods, and member checks. The results show that students interpret Responsibility as moral awareness, self-discipline, and social commitment that develop through reflective interactions with teachers, the learning environment, and the habituation of values through school programs. The value of Responsibility develops in an educational ecosystem that emphasizes role models, collaboration, and students' cognitive well-being

Abstract

The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the STEAM-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving critical thinking skills among elementary school students. This research is based on the issue of low critical thinking ability in Science subjects, particularly because the STEAM approach has not yet been applied in learning. The study was conducted at 1 Pawenang Elementary School as an effort to introduce a learning model that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. The STEAM-based PjBL syntax includes formulating essential questions, designing project plans, preparing information-gathering schedules, implementing projects, monitoring activities, testing project outcomes, evaluating learning experiences, and drawing conclusions. This study used a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative phase examined the effectiveness of STEAM in improving students’ critical thinking in Science, while the qualitative phase, through interviews and observations, identified the processes and supporting factors influencing the model’s implementation. The results showed that the STEAM-based PjBL model was effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. Statistical analysis indicated a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, meaning that the STEAM-based PjBL model had a significant positive effect on the improvement of students’ critical thinking character.
