This study aims to find out the perception of students of the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education Study Program (PGMI) towards the innovation of interactive rotary wheel media based on simple tools in an effort to strengthen the character of the Pancasila Student Profile. Interactive rotary wheel media was chosen because it is easy to make, economical, and can be used flexibly in various learning contexts in elementary schools and Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. This study uses a descriptive approach with PGMI student subjects who have used or tried the media in learning activities. The results of the study show that students consider that interactive rotary wheel media has high usefulness because it is able to increase activeness, motivation, and understanding of learning concepts, as well as instill character values such as cooperation, responsibility, and critical reasoning. From the aspect of suitability, this media is considered relevant to the needs and competencies of students as prospective teachers, because it encourages creativity and trains the skills of designing learning media based on real conditions in schools. The level of student satisfaction with the use of this media is also relatively good, especially because it looks attractive and is easy to operate. However, this study also found some negative impacts, such as limited material variation if the media is not further developed and requires sufficient preparation time for students. Overall, the innovation of interactive rotary wheel media based on simple tools is considered feasible and effective to be used as an alternative learning media that supports strengthening the character of the Pancasila Student Profile for PGMI students.
