Abstract


Abstract: Character education in the era of Society 5.0 faces serious challenges, particularly in elementary schools, where students' values of discipline, responsibility, and respect have declined. The 2023 Bone Regency Education Report shows that only 62% of students consistently demonstrate moral behavior. To address this challenge, this study developed the Sijello To Mampu Puzzle, an interactive learning medium based on Bugis folklore, to strengthen character values in students at the concrete operational stage. The research method used the ADDIE development model with fourth-grade students in four schools: SDN 280 Palakka (limited trial), SDN 260 Masago (extensive trial), SD Inpres 3/77 Masago (experimental class), and SD Inpres 6/80 Latelang (control class). Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, questionnaires, and interviews, and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results showed that the medium achieved 87.5% validity (very valid), 85.2% practicality (very practical), and 82.7% effectiveness (effective). The experimental class recorded a 75% increase in scores, higher than the control class's 47%. This finding confirms that the Sijello To Mampu Puzzle is not only innovative in integrating local wisdom into interactive learning but also effective in improving comprehension while continuously strengthening students' character education.
