E-Comic Science Integrated with PBL Model to Improve Problem Solving Skills

Abstract

Students’ problem-solving skills in natural science are considered low. This research aims to find out the feasibility, effectiveness, and practicality of e-comic media in science learning that are capable of improving problem-solving skills. The research is a research and development with ADDIE development procedures (analysis, design, development, implementation, and Evaluation). The validity level is obtained through expert validation sheets, whereas the effectiveness level is identified through a trial using a one-group pretest-posttest design with a paired sample t-test analysis. Student questionnaires are used to gain the practicality level. The research results indicate that the media expert assessment is 4.43 and the content expert assessment is 4.23 and both are very valid. The effectiveness level generates a t-value of 11.379 with a significance level of 0.05, which means there is a significant improvement in problem-solving skills. The average gain score is 0.56 or in a moderate category. Students’ questionnaires on the e-comic media resulted in a percentage of 83.54%. The research concludes that e-comic media are feasible to be used in improving problem-solving skills in science learning

Design Interactive Multimedia Based on Problem Solving Using Articulate Storyline on Dynamic Fluid Material

“…Articulate Storyline has user-friendly to minimize the teacher's role and maximize the student's role (Prihartina et al, 2023). According to (Muhlisin et al, 2023) the focus of interactive learning media is not only on conveying messages, but also on how students interact with the media.…”

Use of PhET Simulations as A Virtual Laboratory to Improve Students' Problem Solving Skills

“…The capacity to critically analyze and consider a range of potential solutions that are suitable for the current challenge is a prerequisite for problem-solving skills. On the other hand, problem-solving exercises present challenging circumstances that serve as catalysts for the growth of students' critical thinking abilities (Khairani & Aloysius, 2023).…”
