Summary

Karakter yang berkualitas harus distimulasi dan dibina sejak usia dini. Karena usia dini merupakan masa yang baik bagi pembentukan karakter bila gagal menanamkan karakter sejak dini maka akan mempengaruhi kepribadian selanjutnya. Nilai karakter yang penting dikembangkan terhadap anak yaitu nilai rasa hormat dan tanggungjawab. Dua nilai karakter ini mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting karena nilai rasa hormat dan tanggungjawab dapat mewakili dan menumbuhkan nilai-nilai karakter lainnya yang berlaku secara universal. Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi pengembangan karakter anak, diantaranya metode mengajar. Dalam hal ini peneliti mencoba meyodorkan metode proyek dan metode discovery untuk pengembangkan karakter anak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan tentang 1) Kondisi awal karakter rasa hormat dan tanggungjawab anak. 2) Efektifitas metode proyek dalam mengembangkan karakter anak. 3) Efektifitas metode discovery dalam mengembangkan karakter anak. 4) Perbedaan efektifitas metode proyek dan metode discovery terhadap pengembangan karakter anak. Penelitian ini dilakukan karena melihat fenomena dilapangan bahwa karakter anak saat ini sudah merosot. Sehingga peneliti melakukan penelitian mengenai karakter anak. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dengan metode kuasi eksperimen. Sampel penelitian yaitu TK Kemala Bhayangkari 22 sebagai kelompok eksperimen, dan TK Kartika XIX-24 sebagai kelompok control.

Hasil penelitian nilai karakter rasa hormat pada metode proyek meningkat sebesar 26,17 dan tanggungjawab meningkat 24,08. sedangkan nilai rasa hormat pada metode discovery mencapai peningkatan 10,96 dan tanggungjawab meningkat 6,39. Dengan demikian dapat dilihat metode proyek lebih efektif dibandingkan metode discovery dalam peningkatan karakter anak.
