The Effect of Learning Model Based on Character Education Through Multicultural Scientific Approach and Thinking Style on Learning Outcomes of Local History Lessons

This research aims to determine learning outcomes of local history lessons taught with learning models based on character education with a multicultural scientific approach higher than learning outcomes of local history lessons taught by the expository learning model, knowing learning outcomes of local history lessons that have a higher abstract sequential thinking style than students who have concrete sequential thinking styles and knowing the interaction between learning models and students' sequential thinking style on learning outcomes of local history lessons. The research method using quasi experiment with 2 x 2 factorial design, data analysis techniques using ANOVA. The results of research obtained showed: (1) the average learning outcomes of local history lessons for students taught with the character-based learning model of the character of the multicultural scientific approach was higher than lessons with an expository learning model; (2) the average results of learning outcomes of local history in students with abstract sequential thinking styles are higher than in concrete sequential thinking styles; and (3) There’s an interaction between the character-based learning model of the multicultural scientific approach and the sequential thinking style.
