Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital comic as a teaching medium for the “Love for Indonesia” curriculum in the fifth grade at SD Negeri 1 Meurandeh and to determine the feasibility and practicality of the developed medium. This study is a Research and Development (R&D) project using the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The research subjects were 14 fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Meurandeh. The research instruments used included validation sheets from subject matter experts, language experts, and media experts, as well as teacher and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques by calculating the percentages of the product’s suitability and practicality. The results of the study indicate that the digital comic medium developed is deemed suitable for use in learning. The subject matter expert validation yielded a 100% percentage in the “highly suitable” category, the language expert validation yielded 84.37% in the “highly suitable” category, and the media expert validation yielded 79.17% in the “suitable” category. Furthermore, the practicality test results showed that teacher responses achieved a 100% “highly practical” rating, and student responses achieved an 88.93% “highly practical” rating. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the digital comic media developed for the “Love Indonesia” curriculum meets the criteria for feasibility and practicality and is therefore suitable for use as a teaching medium in Indonesian language instruction for fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Meurandeh.
