Abstract

Character education has played an important role in children's psychological growth. Building positive characters during an early age can be a firm commitment to foster education in the subconscious state of mind. Children learn through what they see, hear and experience. Fun learning is inseparable from learning methods and media. The accuracy of learning methods and the use of media can influence the success of a learning process. Shadow puppet media and project-based learning method can indirectly instill character education for children. Aside from being a character-building strategy, the shadow puppet media can be a Javanese language manner-based vocabulary learning strategy. This study aims to improve students' ability to use Javanese language in order to instill education on the first night. The method used is a learning-based project with wayang kulit media. The data in this study are the results of interviews with students of education and teaching and learning activities. Data sources used were events and informants. The analysis technique in this study is comparative descriptive. The conclusions from this study indicate that through project based learning methods with shadow puppet media can improve students' ability to use various Javanese manners in the framework of planting character education in early childhood. Students are able to use Javanese language vocabulary according to the expected level.
