Internalisasi Nilai dalam Sastra Anak melalui Gamifikasi Disiplin Positif sebagai Upaya Eskalasi Kolaborasi Edukasi Berkelanjutan

Abstract

Children’s behavioral issues, such as the rise in bullying cases and low motivation to learn following the pandemic, highlight the importance of strengthening character education that focuses not only on academic aspects but also on the development of values and children’s engagement in learning. This study aims to formulate a conceptual design for the implementation of positive discipline integrated with gamification methods and the use of children’s literature as a medium for instilling character values. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, focusing on the initial stages of research, information gathering, and planning. The approach used is descriptive qualitative through a literature review, utilizing secondary data obtained from scientific journals, books, and relevant research. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using the stages of data reduction, categorization, and synthesis. The results indicate that the integration of positive discipline, gamification, and children’s literature can yield a conceptual design for a learning module that is humanistic, interactive, and contextual. This design emphasizes a shift in disciplinary approaches from punishment-based to restorative, enhances children’s engagement through game elements, and utilizes stories as a means of internalizing character values. Additionally, this study positions parents as primary partners in their children’s learning process at home. Although not yet pilot-tested, the findings of this study contribute as a foundational basis for developing a character-based learning model relevant to the needs of children in the modern era.
