Pengembangan E-Modul Berbasis Pendekatan STEAM Pada Pembelajaran IPA Materi Komponen Listrik Dan Fungsinya Dalam Rangkaian Listrik Sederhana Kelas 6 Sekolah Dasar

Development of E-Module Based on STEAM Approach in Science Learning Electrical Components and Their Functions in Simple Electrical Circuits Grade 6 Elementary School

Kondisi di tengah wabah covid-19 membuat dunia pendidikan menjadi tantangan yang sangat tinggi. Pandemi yang menyebar semakin luas menjadi penyebab diperpanjangnya pembelajaran siswa secara jarak jauh. Adanya kebijakan pemerintah untuk memperpanjang pembelajaran daring ini mengharuskan kegiatan belajar yang memanfaatkan gawai seperti smartphone dan laptop. Kebijakan ini akan terasa sulit apabila dilakukan di daerah yang terhambat sinyal. Bukan hanya itu, guru juga dituntut untuk membentuk skema pembelajaran yang lebih memotivasi, menarik, bermakna, dan dapat membangkitkan semangat belajar siswa agar tidak mudah jenuh selama pembelajaran daring. E-modul adalah modul elektronik dalam bentuk aplikasi yang bisa diunduh melalui smartphone android. Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk menghasilkan media e-modul berbasis pendekatan STEAM pada materi tentang komponen listrik dan fungsinya dengan berdasarkan  kevalidan, kepraktisan, dan keefektifan dari media yang diperoleh selama penelitkian dilakukan. Penelitian ini termasuk kedalam penelitian Research and Development (RnD) dengan model penelitian ADDIE. Model penelitian ini memiliki 5 tahapan yaitu tahap analisis, desain, pengembangan, implementasi, dan evaluasi. Penelitkian ini dilakukan di SDN Sumberejo 02 kecamatan Rengel kabupaten Tuban dengan subjek penelitian yaitu siswa kelas 6 yang berjumlah 10 anak. Jenis data dalam penelitian ini yaitu data kuantitatif yang diperoleh dari penilaian ahli media, ahli materi, hasil angket respon guru, hasil angket respon siswa, dan nilai pre-posttest siswa yang dihitung dengan analisis n-gain. Media e-modul dikategorikan layak untuk digunakan karena mendapat nilai kevalidan oleh ahli media sebesar 83% dan oleh ahli materi sebesar 88,75%. Pada penilaian kepraktisan, e-modul mendapat nilai hasil angket respon guru sebanyak 82% dan hasil angket respon siswa sebanyak 89,5% dengan kategori praktis untuk digunakan. Dan pada tingkat keefektifan media memperoleh hasil rata-rata n-gain sebesar 0,72 dengan kategori tinggi sehingga efektif untuk digunakan.

The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has made the world of education a tremendous challenge. The increasingly rapid spread of COVID-19 has caused the loss of learning opportunities for students to attend school face-to-face because the Indonesian government was forced to extend the online learning system. The existence of this online learning policy requires learning using electronic devices such as smartphones or laptops. This will be difficult if applied in areas where the signal is constrained. In addition, teachers are also required to be creative in developing learning scenarios that are more fun, interesting, and meaningful and increase students' interest in learning so that they are not easily bored when learning online. The e-module learning media based on the STEAM approach on material about electrical components and their functions is an electronic module in the form of an application that can be downloaded via an Android smartphone. This e-module is very suitable to be used as a learning medium for students because it can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This study aims to develop an e-module media based on the STEAM approach based on the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the media obtained during the research. This research is included in the Research and Development (RnD) research with the ADDIE research model. The ADDIE research model has five stages, namely the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. This research was carried out at SDN Sumberejo 02, Rengel sub-district, Tuban district with the research subjects being 6th grade students, totaling 10 children. The types of data in this study are quantitative data obtained from the assessment of media experts, material experts, teacher response questionnaire results, student response questionnaire results, and student pre-post test scores calculated by n-gain analysis. The e-module media is categorized as feasible to use because it has a validity score of 83% by media experts and 88.75% by material experts. In the practicality assessment, the e-module received a teacher response questionnaire score of 82% and a student response questionnaire score of 89.5% with a practical category to use. And at the level of effectiveness of the media obtained an average n-gain of 0.72 with a high category so that it is effective to use.
