Abstract

Character education is an important aspect in forming individuals who are responsible, empathetic and have integrity. However, at school, character learning is often less interesting for children. As time goes by, children's interest in reading has decreased and many of their activities are carried out through screens, such as cellphones or laptops. Therefore, in an effort to overcome these challenges, this research uses a research- based practical research method with a design thinking approach. Curriculum on character education has been implemented in elementary schools, but teachers often experience difficulties in providing interesting learning. For this reason, this research is interested in creating interesting learning media using animation, especially for children in grades one to three as an introduction to characters at school. This approach utilizes puppet culture as a means of learning character education because puppet is an Indonesian cultural heritage that is rich in moral and ethical values. One of the puppet characters chosen as the focus of the research is Dewi Srikandi, who has relevant and strong characteristics to shape students' personalities. In addition, this research highlights the importance of integrating local cultural elements in the development of animation in Indonesia to create a unique identity and national competitiveness in globalindustry. Through the development of animated film models, it is hoped that it can make a positive contribution to students' character education, with the ultimate goal of creatingsuccessful individuals who contribute to society.
