Pengembangan Media Video Animasi pada Mata Pelajaran IPA Kelas VII di SMP

Abstract

The background of this development research is due to observing the conditions in the field where students struggle to understand complex science material. This is indicated by the simple media used by teachers in schools, which is less engaging for students, causing them to feel bored and unfocused during learning. The purpose of this development research is to produce valid, practical, and effective animated video media that can facilitate both teachers and students in the learning process.

The method employed in this research is Research and Development (R&D) using the 4-D model, which consists of the stages of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Based on the validation conducted, content experts provided an average score percentage of 97.5%, categorized as 'very valid.' Media expert I achieved an average score percentage of 98%, also categorized as 'very valid,' while media expert II obtained an average score percentage of 99%, which is likewise classified as 'very valid.'

The practicality test yielded an average score percentage of 92.44%, categorized as 'very practical.' Furthermore, the effectiveness test demonstrated a classical completion rate of 88% among students, categorized as 'effective.' Therefore, it can be concluded that the produced animated video media is valid and effective, and can be utilized in science lessons for seventh-grade junior high school students.
