Abstract : This research aims to develop local wisdom-based Civic Adventure learning media. The main focus of this research is how the learning media development process is carried out systematically, as well as testing the feasibility and practicality of the media based on validation from experts and students’ responses. This media development is expected to be a solution to the learning of Pancasila and Citizenship Education which is less interesting and not optimal in shaping national character. The method used in this research is the ADDIE development model, which includes five stages: (1) Analyze, which is the stage of analyzing the needs of students and teachers for learning materials and nationalism values; (2) Design, media design in the form of storyboards, graphic design, and validation instruments; (3) Development, interactive game-based media development and validation by material and media experts; (4) Implementation, limited and broad trials to students to see the practicality of the media; and (5) Evaluate, improvements based on input from the entire validation and implementation process. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and feasibility and practicality questionnaires. The results showed that the learning media developed obtained a feasibility score of 96% from media experts and 92% from material experts, both of which were in the very feasible category. Meanwhile, in the small and large scale trials, the media obtained a score of 84% and 91% respectively, which indicates that this media is included in the very practical category to be used in learning Pancasila and Citizenship Education. Thus, this media is considered effective in increasing the patriotism of junior high school students.
