Abstract

The cultivation of noble character values in elementary school students is an essential aspect of character education. However, the implementation of character learning in elementary schools still faces several challenges, such as less engaging delivery methods and limited relevant learning media. This study aims to develop audio-based children’s songs as a medium for instilling noble character values in elementary school students. The development model used is ADDIE, which consists of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The lyrics and melodies were designed to integrate noble character values and then produced in audio format using digital software. Validation was conducted by media experts and elementary school subject matter experts, followed by trials with third-grade students through one-to-one, small group, and field tests. The media expert validation results showed a feasibility percentage of 89.2% categorized as “very good,” while subject matter expert validation obtained 90% categorized as “very good.” The one-to-one trial achieved an average of 86.39% (“very good”), the small group trial 83.33% (“good”), and the field test 85.58% (“very good”). Overall, the audio-based children’s song media was considered feasible, easy to understand, engaging, and effective in cultivating noble character values, particularly respect and responsibility, among elementary school students.
