Pemanfaatan Media Smart Whiteboard Berbasis Permainan Edukatif untuk Melatihkan Keterampilan Berpikir Kreatif Siswa

Utilization of Smart Whiteboard Media Based on Educational Games to Train Students' Creative Thinking Skills

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan permainan edukatif yang dalam pelaksanaannya memanfaatkan media smart whiteboard serta perangkat terkaitnya seperti Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP), Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik, dan Lembar Tes Berpikir Kreatif yang layak digunakan untuk melatihkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa kelas IV SD. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan 4D (define, design, develop, dan disseminate), yang terbatas hanya sampai pada tahap ketiga (develop). Pemanfaatan media smart whiteboard berbasis permainan edukatif dan perangkat terkait kemudian divalidasi oleh ahli dan diperoleh hasil bahwa media valid dan dapat digunakan dalam uji coba. Penelitian dilakukan kepada 24 siswa kelas IV MI Miftahul Ulum Kesamben Gresik dengan One Group Prettest-Posttest Design. Instrumen pengumpulan data yang digunakan berupa lembar validasi media yang diisi oleh tiga orang ahli, lembar pengamatan keterlaksanaan RPP, lembar pengamatan aktivitas siswa, lembar tes keterampilan berpikir kreatif, dan lembar angket respon siswa. Metode analisis data yang dilakukan berupa analisis validasi media, analisis keterlaksanaan kegiatan belajar, analisis aktivitas siswa, analisis keterampilan berpikir kreatif, dan analisis respon siswa.

Hasil dari penelitian dan diskusi penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemanfaatan media smart whiteboard berbasis permainan edukatif untuk melatihkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa yang telah dikembangkan adalah (1) valid, sesuai dengan penilaian dari ketiga validator dengan kategori ‘baik’, (2) praktis, sesuai dengan penilaian dari kedua pengamat dilihat dari keterlaksanaan RPP dan aktivitas siswa selama tiga pertemuan, (3) efektif, dilihat dari adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil pretest dan posttest tes keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa dan respon positif dari siswa.

            Berdasarkan hasil di atas disimpulkan bahwa pemanfaatan media smart whiteboard berbasis permainan edukatif yang dikembangkan layak digunakan dalam pembelajaran.

This study aims to develop educational games that utilize smart whiteboard media and its related devices such as Learning Implementation Plans (RPP), Student Worksheets, and Creative Thinking Test Sheets that are appropriate to be used to practice creative thinking skills for fourth-grade elementary school students. This study uses a 4D development model (define, design, develop, and disseminate), which is limited to the third stage (develop). The use of smart whiteboard media based on educational games and related devices was then validated by experts and the results obtained that the media was valid and could be used in trials. The trial was conducted on 10 fourth-grade students of MI Miftahul Ulum Kesamben Gresik with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The data collection instrument used was a media validation sheet filled out by three experts, a lesson plan implementation observation sheet, a student activity observation sheet, a creative thinking skills test sheet, and a student response questionnaire sheet. Methods of data analysis were carried out in the form of the media validation analysis, analysis of the implementation of learning activities, analysis of student activities, analysis of creative thinking skills, and analysis of student responses.

The results of the research and research discussions can be concluded that the use of smart whiteboard media based on educational games to train students' creative thinking skills that have been developed is (1) valid, according to the assessment of the three validators in the 'good' category, (2) practical, by the assessment of the two observers was seen from the implementation of the lesson plans and student activities for three meetings, (3) effective, seen from the significant difference between the results of the pretest and posttest tests of students' creative thinking skills and positive responses from students.

Based on the results above, it is concluded that the use of smart whiteboard media based on educational games developed is suitable for use in learning.
