Abstract

This study aimed to develop a valid, reliable, effective, and practical Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) evaluation instrument based on local wisdom in the Selayar Islands Regency. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using systematic stages, including needs analysis, planning, initial product development, expert validation, limited trials, expanded trials, and revisions. The instrument integrated three local wisdom values of the Selayar Islands, namely siri’ (sense of shame), a’ rera’ (mutual cooperation), and tabe’ (respect), into four main dimensions: Child-Friendly School Commitment, Child-Friendly Educators and Educational Staff, Child-Friendly Processes and Facilities, and Participation of Students, Parents, and the Community. The final instrument consisted of 27 statement items. The results showed that the instrument had good psychometric quality, with an average Aiken’s V value of 0.84 indicating valid content, factor loadings ≥ 0.50 confirming construct validity, and a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.963 indicating very high reliability. Furthermore, the instrument demonstrated good effectiveness with an overall mean score of 3.98 and high practicality with a mean score of 4.14, where 83.33% of respondents stated that the instrument was easy to use. These findings indicate that the developed CFS evaluation instrument is feasible and appropriate for wider implementation in educational institutions in the Selayar Islands Regency
