PENGARUH IMPLEMENTASI TEACHING PERSONAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (TPSR) PADA PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN KEWARGANEGARAAN TERHADAP TANGGUNG JAWAB SISWA KELAS V SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study explores a character-based learning approach that emphasizes personal and social responsibility among elementary school students. Using a quantitative method with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 28 fifth-grade students from SDN Paripurna, a public elementary school in Jatinangor, Sumedang. Data collection was conducted through essay-based tests, which assessed responsibility across five dimensions: self-control, effort and participation, self-direction, caring and helping others, and transferring responsibility to real-life situations. Statistical analysis, including normality and paired sample t-tests, showed a significant improvement in students’ responsibility after the intervention. The results indicate that a structured character education model can foster both personal discipline and social awareness, helping students develop moral behavior within the school environment. The findings reinforce the importance of integrating value-based learning into academic subjects, particularly civic education, to build student responsibility holistically. The study recommends broader application of this model across various subjects and educational levels to maximize its impact on student character development.
