Diah Fitria Anggraini. Development of Board Game Story Edutainment Learning Media for Reading Comprehension Skills For Class II Elementary School Students. Thesis. Surabaya: Faculty of Education and Science, 2025.

This research was motivated by the importance of reading comprehension skills for the academic success of elementary school students. Preliminary studies indicated that many second-grade students still experienced difficulties in understanding texts and constructing sentences. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a board game story edutainment as a learning medium that is valid, practical, and effective in improving the reading comprehension skills of second-grade elementary school students. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects consisted of expert validators in material, media, and language; students and teachers as respondents for practicality; and second-grade students as trial participants. The research instruments included validation sheets, response questionnaires, and pretest–posttest assessments. Data were analyzed using descriptive percentage analysis, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, paired sample t-tests with the assistance of SPSS, and N-Gain calculations. The findings revealed that the Board Game Story Edutainment was categorized as highly valid, highly practical, and effective. Validity was confirmed by expert judgments, practicality was reflected in the positive responses of teachers and students, and effectiveness was evidenced by a significant improvement in students’ average scores from pretest to posttest, with an N-Gain value in the medium category. In conclusion, the Board Game Story Edutainment is feasible to be used as an innovative alternative medium for teaching reading comprehension in elementary schools. This medium not only enhances reading comprehension skills but also creates an engaging and interactive learning atmosphere for lower-grade students.
