Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research utilizes both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Quantitative data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire, and the result were analyzed through descriptive statistics with IBM SPSS software, yielding a mean score of 3.83. According to the Likert Scale, a score within the range of 3.41 – 4.20 indicated positive agreement, demonstrating that students generally concurred that ethical dilemma in role-playing learning model positively impacted their learning experience. In the qualitative phase, data were gathered through interviews, providing deeper insights into student’s’ perspectives of their experiences. The students expressed that the role-playing model incorporating ethical dilemmas enhanced their understanding by requiring them to comprehend of knowledge, as students were able to practice real-world decision-making skills in applying. Additionally, the model also encouraged reflecting, enabling students to evaluate and discuss their chosen solutions.
