Development of Teaching Materials for Science Courses Based on Digital Comic on Temperature, Heat, and Expansion Materials for Class Vii Smpit Al Kahfi, Bogor Regency

Abstract

This study aims to 1) determine the procedure for developing digital comic-based science teaching materials on temperature, heat, and expansion grade VII materials, 2) determine the feasibility of digital comic-based science teaching materials on temperature, heat, and expansion grade VII materials, 3) find out the effectiveness of science teaching materials based on digital comics on the material of temperature, heat, and expansion for class VII. This study uses research and development methods (Research and Development). The results of this study are 1) the development of digital comic-based teaching materials using the ADDIE model (analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation). This product is based on an application that can be installed on a computer or device, making it easy to use anywhere. The material presented is temperature, heat, and expansion. In the development of digital comics teaching materials, family characters (mother and children) are used and are equipped with images that match the storyline. There are also materials, practice questions, and evaluations that are tailored to the curriculum of the driving school. 2) the feasibility of teaching materials is obtained from the results of the validation of the material experts who show a value of 80% which means that it enters the criteria very valid/feasible, while the linguist shows a value of 96% which means that this product is very valid/feasible, while the results from media and learning design experts by 76% and 79% which means valid/feasible. 3) The average pretest obtained in the field trial was 59, while the posttest was 74. Based on the normality test, that the significance value was 0.2 > 0.05 that the resulting data were normally distributed. Based on the hypothesis test data.
