This study examines the effectiveness of the role-playing method in improving fifth-grade students’ understanding of respecting collective decisions in Civic Education (PKn) at SDN 1 Purwosari, Babadan District, Ponorogo Regency. Grounded in principles of democratic education, experiential learning, and participatory pedagogy, the research employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations, learning outcome tests, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
The findings reveal substantial improvements in students’ cognitive understanding, social interaction, and affective appreciation of collective decision-making. Students demonstrated increased participation, clearer expression of opinions, greater respect for peers’ viewpoints, and stronger willingness to accept group decisions. Test scores also showed significant gains from Cycle I to Cycle II, supported by qualitative evidence of enhanced cooperation, communication, and democratic behavior. Factors contributing to the successful implementation included effective scenario design, teacher guidance, balanced group composition, supportive learning media, and reflective dialogue.
The study concludes that role-playing is an effective pedagogical strategy for strengthening democratic values in elementary Civic Education. It recommends systematic integration of role-playing into PKn instruction, enhanced teacher training, development of contextual learning scenarios, and further research across broader educational settings. The findings contribute to character education and the cultivation of responsible young citizens.
