DEVELOPMENT OF COMICS TEACHING MATERIALS BASED ON PROBLEM BASED LEARNING TO IMPROVE THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION SKILLS OF GRADE IV STUDENTS

Abstract

This research is based on the lack of learning media that are in line with the science subjects of animal life cycle material. The purpose from research this that is for know the development process comic teaching material PBL based on class IV science lesson material cycle life animal in improve skills communication scientific students fourth grade at SD Negeri Wanatirta 02 . This type of research is quantitative research using the Research and Development (R & D) approach with the design of the One Group pretest-posttest design . The development model is modified from the 4D model. 4 D model consists of 4 steps, namely: (1) Define , (2) Design , (3) Develop , (4) Desiminate . The sample technique used is saturated sampling. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, interviews, and tests. Data analysis using paired sample t - test . The results of the study were obtained (1) the comic teaching material is feasible and valid based on the results of material and media validation of 4 and 5 with good and very good categories. (2) PBL-based comic teaching materials effectively used are indicated by the results of the t-test obtained by the Sig. (2-tailed) <0.05. Researchers concluded that the development of teaching materials based PBL comic valid and l sieve to use and able to improve scientific communication skills of fourth grade students.
