Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) media integrated with the Project Citizen learning model in strengthening the character of global diversity in high school students. The main problems identified are increasing intolerance and low cross-cultural empathy among the younger generation, as well as civics learning which is still dominantly textual and oriented towards Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS). This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The population was 120 tenth-grade students from a public high school in Bandung, with a sample selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires, observation sheets, and documentation. The results showed that the AR-based Project Citizen model is effective in strengthening the character of global diversity, as indicated by a significant increase in character scores in the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.000). AR technology facilitates immersive visualization of cultural diversity, while the Project Citizen approach encourages critical thinking and active participation. This study concludes that the combination of AR and Project Citizen is a pedagogical innovation that is adaptive to the digital era.
