Langsa Multicultural Heritage Virtual Tour: Development of Diversity Literacy Media as Strengthening Global Diversity

A globally diverse character is an important provision in facing challenges with unlimited interaction in the future. This insight and skills must be supported by wisdom in the student's locality so that they are able to exist without having to be uprooted from their own identity. Global diversity can be strengthened through diversity literacy through media sharing. Unfortunately, in previous research, it was found that the source of knowledge about diversity owned by school students in Aceh actually came from outside their community. Even though Aceh itself has historical, sociological and anthropological roots that can be a modality for diversity literacy. The importance of diversity literacy in the post-conflict generation in Aceh is needed to support long-term peace development by strengthening the character of global diversity. The most striking diversity modality owned by the people of Aceh, one of which is projected by the city of Langsa as a multicultural city. Langsa City has heritage potential that can be packaged as a media for diversity literacy. Access to this knowledge needs to be owned by teachers and students in various other regions in Aceh and expanded through a decent, practical and effective media. Based on the mapping of existing problems, needs and potentials, this research is aimed at developing the Langsa Multicultural Heritage Virtual Tour. This can be achieved through research and development (RnD) of the 4-D model. It consists of the Define stage, Design (design), Develop (Development), and Disseminate (Dissemination). The results of the study show that the results of the validation test of material experts are 86.6% in the very feasible category, the results of the media expert test are 96.6% in the Very feasible category. The Practicality Test of 99.6% is very good, the Teacher's Response is 95.5% in the very good category, and the student response is 93.3% or in the very feasible category. The results of the t-test were calculated 5.2 with p-value = 0.000 < 0.05, which means that there was a significant increase in global diversity knowledge after media treatment.
