PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN KOMIK DIGITAL BERBASIS APLIKASI PIXTON UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN PEMAHAMAN PESERTA DIDIK DI KELAS III SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This research aims to develop a digital comic-based learning medium using the
Pixton application to improve the understanding of multiplication as repeated
addition among third-grade elementary school students. The research method
used is the ADDIE development model, which includes Analysis, Design,
Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The Pixton-based digital comic
was validated by a team of experts and teachers before being implemented with
the research subjects, namely third-grade students of SDN Kaloran. The validation
test of the Pixton-based digital comic product received an average score
percentage of 82% from the expert team, categorized as "very feasible."
Meanwhile, the average score percentage from the teachers was 88%, also
categorized as "very feasible." Based on the validation scores from the experts
and teachers, the average feasibility rating of the Pixton-based digital comic on
multiplication material was 85%, falling into the "very feasible" category. Student
responses to the Pixton-based digital comic showed an average score percentage
of 90.75%, categorized as "very good."The result of the n-gain calculation yielded
an average score of 0.7953, which falls into the "high" category, indicating that the
use of Pixton-based digital comics is effective in improving students
understanding of multiplication. Based on these research results, it can be
concluded that the Pixton application-based digital comic learning medium for
multiplication material developed for third-grade elementary students is "very
feasible" to use in learning and shows that the use of this digital comic is effective
in improving students understanding of multiplication, with a "high" category of
improvement.
