Abstrak

Modern technological shifts have completely reshaped the landscape of online gaming, pivoting its role from standard entertainment into structured social environments like esports networks. This empirical study intends to evaluate and map out how active involvement within these gaming circles shapes national character development, specifically among Moonton Student Leaders (MSL) at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro. The focus on character building centers around core values: nationalism, collective tolerance, personal accountability, synergy, and appreciation for cultural diversity. Employing an ex post facto quantitative approach with a correlational design, data was gathered from 80 student participants selected via cross-departmental purposive and proportional sampling techniques. Primary insights were collected using a validated closed-ended Likert questionnaire
