Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran 3D untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konsep Listrik Paralel pada Siswa

Abstrak

Education is inseparable from human life, because basically education is something important and lasts a lifetime. Natural Sciences (IPA) is one of the subjects taught to students in schools. Science learning, especially physics, requires learning by providing direct experience. However, science learning applied to students still tends to be lecture-based. This results in less than optimal student learning outcomes. Therefore, to obtain maximum learning outcomes, an interactive learning media is needed. This study aims to develop 3D technology-based learning media in order to improve students' understanding of the concept of parallel electricity. The learning media developed is designed to provide an interactive, visual, and easy-to-understand learning experience, especially in explaining abstract concepts such as electric current and parallel connections in electrical circuits. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects consisted of grade Ⅵ students at one of the elementary school in Indonesia. Data were obtained through expert validation tests, observations, concept understanding tests, and student response questionnaires to learning media. The results of the study show that the 3D learning media developed is very feasible, practical and effective to be applied to student learning.
