Karya: Muhammad Nur Wangid, Ali Mustadi, Agnestasia Ramadhani Putri
 
 
 The National Indonesian Ministry of Education expresses the importance of educating friendliness by stating it in a Master Plan of National Character Development for 2010-2015. However the success of character education needs a meaningful classroom situation. Unfortunately, teaching materials to create meaningful classroom situation that enhances friendliness character is still  rare. Sainsmatika fairytale books are science and mathematic’s teaching material which was developed with the wisdom of fairytale, which is attractive to integrate friendliness value. The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of sainsmatika fairytale books as a means of integrating friendliness  into teaching materials for fourth-grade students in Indonesia. A pretest-posttest control-group experimental design was used in this study to investigate the product effectiveness. 
 
This study involved 80 fourth-grade students at one of the districts in Indonesia. The experimental group was taught using sainsmatika fairytale books containing one of the character values in character education, i.e., friendliness. The quantitative data were collected through observation on student activity. The data were then analyzed using statistical methods to calculate the values and determine the frequency as well as the mean of pretest and posttest scores in both control and experimental groups. Through one way ANOVA statistical analysis, it was found that the use of sainsmatika fairytale books is significantly effective to enhance the student friendliness.
 
Developing Sainsmatika Fairytale Books to Enhance Friendliness
Sainsmatika Fairytale Books (SFB) is a tool to improve students’ friendliness character. The differences among SFB and the general fairytale is SFB containing science and mathematics’ content so SFB can used as a learning tool in instructional situation. The friendliness value, which developed to the fairy stories gradually changes student perspective about friendship and direct the student to reflect they behavior to another people. The direct activity content in SFB, had much role to improve student friendliness. During the instruction, student is encouraged to speak, listen and share their perspective, idea or responses to all classmates. One most difference atmosphere is they learn to apreciate and accept the another student without except for. The stimuli, like fairystories is a precise tool to enhance student friendliness. Teacher can also adapted this approach to improve student friendliness character using another popular fairystories, like ‘Tinkerbell’ or ‘Peterpan’ with a little alteration. So it can used as a learning tool in classroom situation and accepted by all students.
