PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA “TRAVEL GAME”  PADA PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA OPERASI HITUNG PERKALIAN DAN PEMBAGIAN BILANGAN PECAHAN DI KELAS V SEKOLAH DASAR

DEVELOPMENT OF "TRAVEL GAME" MEDIA ON LEARNING MATH OPERATIONS OF MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF FRACTIONS IN GRADE V ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Matematika pada kenyataannya masih dianggap oleh peserta didik sebagai pembelajaran yang menakutkan. Mereka mungkin merasa bahwa mata pembelajaran ini sulit karena melibatkan angka, rumus, dan dianggap membosankan, sehingga tidak disenangi oleh sebagian peserta didik. Salah satunya yaitu pada materi operasi hitung perkalian dan pembagian bilangan pecahan. Dalam mengatasi hal tersebut, maka dikembangkanlah media berbasis permainan yaitu media “Travel Game”. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan proses pengembangan dann kelayakan media pembelajaran “Travel Game” dalam pembelajaran matematika materi operasi hitung perkalian dan pembagian bilangan pecahan kelas V Sekolah Dasar. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model pengembangan ADDIE. Model ini meliputi beberapa tahap diantaranya yaitu Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data berupa pedoman wawancara, lembar observasi, lembar validasi, angket respon peserta didik, dan lembar pre test dan post test. Data yang dihasilkan berupa data kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan proses pengembangan dan kelayakan pada media “Travel Game”. Kelayakan media “Travel Game” memperoleh nilai kevalidan sebesar 72% dari ahli materi dan 90% dari ahli media dengan kategori valid, nilai keefektifan yang dihitung menggunakan N-Gain menunjukkan angka 0,55 dengan kategori peningkatan sedang yang diperoleh dari hasil pre test dan post test, serta nilai kepraktisan sebesar 90,5 % dari hasil angket respon peserta didik dan 100% dari hasil observasi oleh pendidik dengan kategori sangat praktis. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa media “Travel Game” layak digunakan pada pembelajaran matematika materi operasi hitung perkalian dan pembagian bilangan pecahan di kelas V Sekolah Dasar.

Mathematics is often still perceived by students as a daunting subject. They may feel that this subject is difficult because it involves numbers, formulas, and is considered boring, making it unpopular among some students. One of the challenging topics is the operations of multiplication and division of fractions. To address this issue, a game-based medium called "Travel Game" was developed. The aim of this research is to describe the development process and the feasibility of the "Travel Game" educational medium in teaching mathematics, specifically the operations of multiplication and division of fractions for fifth-grade elementary school students. This type of research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE development model. This model includes several stages: Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The instruments used for data collection include interview guides, observation sheets, validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test sheets. The data produced are qualitative and quantitative. The research results demonstrate the development process and feasibility of the "Travel Game" medium. The feasibility of the "Travel Game" medium obtained a validity score of 72% from material experts and 90% from media experts, categorized as valid. The effectiveness score calculated using N-Gain showed a figure of 0.55, which falls into the medium improvement category, derived from the pre-test and post-test results. The practicality score was 90.5% based on student response questionnaires and 100% from educators' observation results, categorized as very practical. Therefore, it can be concluded that the "Travel Game" medium is suitable for use in teaching the operations of multiplication and division of fractions in fifth-grade elementary school mathematics.
