Pengembangan Media Geocard Berbasis Take And Give untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Pada Pembelajaran IPAS Kelas V SD

Abstract

This study was motivated by students' low problem-solving skills in the topic of Indonesia's Geographical Location and the suboptimal use of instructional media in IPAS learning for Grade V students at SD Islam Nadindra. The study aimed to develop a Take and Give-based Geocard that is valid, practical, and effective in improving students' problem-solving skills. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The participants were 30 fifth-grade students of SD Islam Nadindra. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, tests, and documentation. The research instruments included expert validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test questions. The results showed that the language expert validation score was 98.33%, the media expert validation score was 98.33%, and the material expert validation score was 98.33%, all categorized as highly valid. Teacher responses indicated that the media was highly practical, while student responses reached 97.08%, categorized as highly attractive. The N-Gain analysis yielded a score of 0.64, which falls into the moderate category. Therefore, the Take and Give-based Geocard is considered valid, practical, and effective in improving students' problem-solving skills in learning about Indonesia's Geographical Location.
