Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Game Visual Novel "Bima's Adventure" untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa Materi Lapisan Atmosfer Bumi Kelas V SD

Development of Visual Novel Game Learning Media "Bima's Adventure" to Improve Students' Learning Outcomes on Earth's Atmospheric Layers Material for 5th Grade Elementary School

Beberapa konsep dalam mata pelajaran IPA bersifat abstrak, sehingga menyulitkan siswa dalam memahami materi dan berdampak pada rendahnya hasil belajar. Permasalahan ini semakin diperburuk dengan terbatasnya penerapan media pembelajaran yang menarik dan mendukung pemahaman konsep secara mendalam. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, dikembangkan media pembelajaran game visual novel “Bima’s Adventure”. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kevalidan, kepraktisan, dan keefektifan media pembelajaran game visual novel “Bima’s Adventure” materi lapisan atmosfer bumi untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar kognitif siswa kelas V. Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan pengembangan (R&D) dengan model ADDIE. Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa lembar validasi, angket respon guru dan siswa, serta lembar tes hasil belajar. Analisis data mencakup penilaian terhadap kevalidan, kepraktisan dan keefektifan media dan instrumen penelitian. Hasil yang diperoleh untuk validasi media sejumlah 93% (sangat valid) dan validasi materi sejumlah 87% (sangat valid), hasil angket respon guru sebesar 96,9% (sangat praktis) dan angket respon peserta didik sejumlah 92,89% (sangat praktis) serta hasil N-Gain sebesar 0,71 (tinggi). Hasil uji Mann Whitneyy U-Test menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil belajar dengan menggunakan media “Bima’s Adventure” dan video pembelajaran Youtube.

Several concepts in science subjects are abstract, making it difficult for students to grasp the material, which leads to low learning outcomes. This issue is further exacerbated by the limited use of engaging learning media that support in-depth conceptual understanding. To address this problem, a visual novel game-based learning media titled “Bima’s Adventure” was developed. This research aims to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of developing the visual novel game learning media Bima’s Adventure on the topic of Earth's atmospheric layers to improve the cognitive learning outcomes of fifth-grade students. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. The data collection instruments comprised validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, and learning outcome test sheets. Data analysis included assessments of the media and research instruments' validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The results showed a media validation score of 93% (very valid) and a material validation score of 87% (very valid). The teacher response questionnaire yielded 96.9% (very practical), and the student response questionnaire yielded 92.89% (very practical). The N-Gain score was 0.71, indicating a high level of effectiveness. The results of the Mann-Whitney U-Test showed a significant difference in learning outcomes between students using the "Bima's Adventure" media and those using YouTube learning videos.
