Abstract

This study aimed to develop the My Darling (My Day for Recycling and Loving Nature) teaching module based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to strengthen environmental care character in early childhood. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The participants were 12 children aged 5–6 years. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, documentation, and expert validation. The module feasibility was assessed by material experts, media experts, and early childhood education practitioners. The results showed that the module obtained feasibility scores of 94.8% from material experts, 93.3% from media experts, and 93% from practitioners, all categorized as very feasible. The implementation results showed an increase in the average environmental care character score from 57.42 in the pretest to 79.58 in the posttest. The paired sample t-test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, t(11) = 46.758, p < 0.001. These findings indicate that the MY DARLING module is highly feasible and shows positive results in the initial effectiveness test for strengthening environmental care character in early childhood.
