Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Pop-Up Book pada Materi Ekosistem untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konsep Siswa Kelas V Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

Science learning in elementary schools, particularly on the ecosystem topic, is still dominated by textbooks and lectures, so students find it difficult to understand abstract concepts such as the interaction between biotic and abiotic components. This study aims to develop a pop-up book learning medium on the ecosystem topic and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness for fifth-grade students. This research and development (R&D) study used the ADDIE model, involving 14 fifth-grade students selected through purposive sampling, with data collected through validation questionnaires, response questionnaires, and a learning-outcome test. The media obtained 90.53% feasibility from the media expert (very feasible) and 82.11% from the material expert (feasible); the field trial reached 90% (very feasible), and the effectiveness test showed 81% of students achieving the minimum mastery criterion (very good). The pop-up book medium on the ecosystem topic is feasible and effective for improving elementary students' conceptual understanding and learning outcomes.
