PENGEMBANGAN STORY BOOK BERBASIS LINGKUNGAN LOKAL DILENGKAPI QR CODE PADA MATERI IPAS KELAS V SDN 1 KARANGTALUN KABUPATEN TULUNGAGUNG

Abstract

Learning media play an important role in creating meaningful learning experiences, particularly in the implementation of the Independent Curriculum, which emphasizes contextual learning. However, Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning in elementary schools is still dominated by textbooks and teacher-centered instruction, resulting in low student engagement and difficulties in understanding the classification of animals based on their feeding habits. This study aimed to develop a local environment-based storybook integrated with QR Code technology and to determine its validity and practicality as a learning medium for fifth-grade elementary school students. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, consisting of the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The research subjects included one media expert, one material expert, one learning expert, one fifth-grade teacher, and 31 fifth-grade students of SDN 1 Karangtalun, Tulungagung Regency. Data were collected through observations, interviews, validation questionnaires, and user response questionnaires and analyzed descriptively using percentage techniques. The results showed that the developed media achieved validity scores of 97% from the media expert, 88% from the material expert, and 94% from the learning expert, indicating that the product was highly valid. Furthermore, the practicality test yielded positive responses, with scores of 90% from the teacher, 93% from the small-group trial, and 94% from the large-group trial, all categorized as highly practical. Therefore, the local environment-based storybook integrated with QR Code is highly valid and practical and can be used as an alternative learning medium to support contextual and interactive IPAS learning in elementary schools.
