ABSTRACT

This study aims to develop an educational game media based on the Scratch 3 application to help improve alphabet letter recognition skills in students with intellectual disabilities. The Scratch 3–based educational game learning media was designed by taking into account the characteristics and needs of students with intellectual disabilities. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. The research subjects were six second-grade students with intellectual disabilities. The research design used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. Data collection instruments included observation instruments, documentation, and tests. Validity testing was conducted by media experts, material experts, and practitioner experts. The statistical analysis used was N-gain analysis.

The results of this study produced an educational game media based on the Scratch 3 application. Based on evaluations conducted by media experts, material experts, and practitioner experts, the Scratch 3–based educational game media was declared very valid and highly practical. Furthermore, based on the results of statistical analysis interpreted using the N-gain test, the Scratch 3–based educational game media showed a high score, indicating that the media is feasible and effective for improving alphabet letter recognition skills in students with intellectual disabilities.
