RIAS Learning Model: a Character Education Innovation

Abstract

Character education has not been well facilitated in every learning process; hence, several indications of low character among college students are found. This research aims to develop a new learning model based on character education to enhance students’ spiritual and social attitudes. The research was a research and development by adopting Borg Gall’s research and development procedures. The research procedures consist of the following steps: 1) Library study, 2) designing a model design, 3) learning model development, 4) expert validation, and 5) focus group discussion with users and students. Instruments used in the research include content validity and construct validity sheets of the learning model with an assessment scale score of 1-5 that ranges from (1) not feasible, (2) less feasible, (3) fairly feasible, (4) feasible, and (5) very feasible. The research results indicate that 1) character-based learning innovation resulted in RIAS learning model with main steps of Reading, Identification, Analysis, and Self-reflection, 2) RIAS learning model has a validation score of 4.6 within a valid category; thus, it is feasible to be utilized to enhance social and spiritual attitudes. The suggested for further research is testing the effectiveness of the RIAS learning model on a wide scale and testing the effect of the RIAS learning model on problem-solving and student learning outcomes.

Improving Problem-Solving Skills With Problem-Based Learning Models in Optical Wave Courses

“…The learning resources used come from relevant main books or research journals. Student activities in constructing knowledge as a basis for problem-solving were carried out by students at the reading stage (Muhlisin et al, 2022). Students' proficiency in studying literature to solve existing problems is a good step toward practicing problem-solving skills and critical thinking.…”

“…Since being at the elementary and secondary school levels, the government has designed lessons to train critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Difficulties in everyday life are unpredictable; therefore, practical and valuable skills are needed in the current era (Muhlisin et al, 2022). The ability to solve problems plays an essential role in the survival of society (Nurjannah et al, 2021).…”

Pengembangan Desain Pembelajaran Ipa Untuk Meningkatkan Karakter Pelajar Pancasila Pada Aspek Bernalar Kritis Dan Kreatif Di Smpit Ihsanul Fikri Kota Magelang

“…Kondisi tersebut dapat menyebabkan disintegrasi bangsa dan lunturnya identitas nasional. Muhlisin et al (2021) menyebutkan bahwa dalam kegiatan pembelajaran terdapat beberapa indikasi yang menunjukkan perlunya peningkatan karakter. Indikasi tersebut tampak dari beberapa aktivitas peserta didik selama mengikuti kegiatan pembelajaran, di antaranya kegiatan meniru pada saat ujian, tugas yang dikumpulkan tidak tepat waktu, kemampuan bekerja sama yang rendah, dan kurangnya kemampuan dalam menganalisis suatu permasalahan.…”

Using Remap-STAD Learning Assisted by The GitMind Application to Improve Students' Problem-Solving Skills in Biology Education

“…Traditional approaches that focus solely on knowledge transfer may hinder effective learning. The inadequate development of problemsolving skills can be attributed to passive student engagement, difficulties in problem identification, and lack of interest in reading (Muhlisin et al, 2022). Consequently, students struggle to acquire these essential skills.…”
