The Development of E-Comics in Integrated Science and Religious Values for 5th Grade Students

Abstract

The context for this research project is the insufficient availability of innovative learning materials and the divide between general science and religious knowledge in education. In primary schools, science subjects are taught with a minimal use of technology for teaching materials. This study aimed to outline the steps taken, quality, and feasibility of e-comics in teaching integrated science and religious values to 5th-grade primary school students. The research process followed the ADDIE model, which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered to support the research. Qualitative data were collected through expert validation, teacher assessments, and feedback from the students who were the subjects of the study. The average score from expert validation, teacher assessments, and student feedback was 3.80. Based on this score, it can be concluded that the e-comic media is suitable for integrated science and religious education for 5th-grade primary school students and falls under the "Good" category for use.

Development of problem based e-comic on the theme of domestic politics on student learning achievement

“…This is also following previous research conducted by Dewi; the problem-based e-comic media developed received good responses from students and teachers with a practicality percentage of 87% (Dewi et al, 2022). Another study also conducted by Fianto showed that the learning media for Mathematics comics developed was practical, with a percentage of teacher questionnaire results of 91.4% included in the very practical category and a percentage of student questionnaire results of 93.8% included in the very practical category (Fianto et al, 2023). Based on the study's results, one of the criteria for good learning is easy to operate or practical to use, which means that based on the questionnaire response to the use of learning media by students and teachers, the results are good or excellent.…”

“…The data analysis technique used is quantitative data analysis. Quantitative data analysis is used to process data in the form of numbers obtained from the learning media validation questionnaire by experts and teacher and student response questionnaires on the use of e-comic based problem media in the learning process (Fianto et al, 2023;Ismiyanti, 2020). In addition, quantitative data is also obtained from student test results.…”

Development of Anti-Radical Comics Electronic Media Based on Local Wisdom (Mekar-Bekal)

“…According to Fianto et al (2023) and Weissel & Turnheim (1975), Comics are one of the learning media that can be used in learning activities by teachers when delivering material to students. Learning media using ecomics is very interesting for students because it has pictures and readings, material or readings contained in e-comics are given to students so that students can understand and want to read and the pictures contained in e-comics aim to make it easier for students to understand eating the ones in comics.…”
