Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology and the emergence of Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0 have created new challenges in higher education, particularly in preparing adaptive future educators. This study aims to develop and analyze a human literacy-based learning model integrated into the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum in the Guidance and Counseling Program at Universitas Negeri Medan. The research employed a mixed-method approach involving document analysis, surveys, interviews, and field observations. The ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) was utilized to guide the development and validation of the learning model. The findings indicate that the human literacy-based learning model is valid, practical, and moderately effective in fostering adaptive competencies among students, including critical thinking, problem-solving, emotional regulation, teamwork, and ethical values. The integration of human literacy into the OBE curriculum enhances character education and better equips future educators to respond to complex demands in the era of digital transformation. This study provides significant theoretical and practical implications for curriculum design and implementation in higher education, aligning with the university^s vision as a Character Building University.
