Abstract

The purpose of this study was to produce a VCT model product containing local Sasak wisdom in social studies learning to foster an attitude of tolerance and global diversity in students. This type of development research uses the Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation model conducted at SMP in Terara District, East Lombok, NTB, on 112 students consisting of 56 experimental classes and 56 control classes and 2 teachers. The effectiveness test used a pretest-posttest control group design. The data collection method was interviews, questionnaires and tests. The data analysis technique was Gain Score Analysis and Multivariate Analysis of Variance. The results of the study were; (1) The VCT model containing local Sasak wisdom values can foster an attitude of tolerance in students, as shown by the NGs in the experimental class being higher than the control class; (2) The VCT model containing local Sasak wisdom values can foster an attitude of global diversity in students, as shown by the NGs in the experimental class being higher than the control class; (3) The VCT model is effective in fostering students' tolerance attitudes as evidenced by the results of the t-test= 16.21 and a sig. of 0.000 and the effect size (ES) is 2.86; (4) The VCT model is effective in fostering students' global diversity attitudes as evidenced by the results of the t-test= 16.43 and a sig. of 0.000 and the effect size (ES) is 3.11. The research findings state that the development of the VCT model containing local Sasak cultural wisdom values in social studies learning is highly effective in fostering attitudes of tolerance and global diversity in junior high school students in Terara District, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.
