PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA INTERAKTIF GOOGLE SITES BERBASIS PBL PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPAS DI KELAS IV SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This research is motivated by the less than optimal utilization of digital learning media in science learning in grade IV of elementary school. Teachers still tend to use conventional learning media so that student participation and motivation in the learning process are not optimal. This study aims to develop interactive media based on Google Sites with a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach in science learning in grade IV of elementary school that is valid and practical. The method applied in this study is Research and Development (RandD) using the ADDIE model, which consists of five steps: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The location of the research is at SDN 16 Air Tawar Timur, SDN 28 Air Tawar Timur, SDN 26 Air Tawar Timur, and SDN 18 Air Tawar Selatan. The results of the study show that the interactive media Google Sites gets a validity score of 87% with a very valid category. The level of practicality of teachers at SDN 16 Air Tawar Timur reached 94%, SDN 28 Air Tawar Timur 90%, SDN 26 Air Tawar Timur 82%, and SDN 18 Air Tawar Selatan 92%, all in the very practical category. The level of practicality of students at SDN 16 Air Tawar Timur reached 85%, SDN 28 Air Tawar Timur 85%, SDN 26 Air Tawar Timur 85%, and SDN 18 Air Tawar Selatan 90%, also in the very practical category. Thus, the developed media is deemed feasible and practical for use in the science learning process in elementary schools.
