<![CDATA[Military cadets who are about to begin their education always experience tension. This tension arises due to the hierarchy and seniority that still prevails, the process of adapting to the new environment of education, and the cognitive burden of academic tasks that will be faced in the coming months. This study aims to develop an ice-breaking module to eliminate the initial tension of cadets who are in the education period. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with a descriptive type of research that focuses on the module development process. The data collection techniques used are semi-structured interviews, observation, and literature study. The results show that the ice-breaking method is effective in reducing the initial tension of cadets. The use of ice breaking can reduce tension, boredom, and drowsiness, creating a more relaxed and enthusiastic atmosphere. By conducting these ice breaking activities, there was a noticeable change in group dynamics, with cadets becoming much more relaxed, feeling comfortable with other participants, engaging in spontaneous two-way communication, and experiencing a reduction in formal boundaries and tension. Ice breaking plays an important role in creating a pleasant atmosphere and motivating cadets during learning activities.]]>
