“…Through comic media combined through scientific learning approaches can be used as an alternative solution to these problems. This is also strengthened by studies conducted by Jacobson [5], Toh [12], Kurnik [6], Botzakis [3], Wahyuningsih [13], Machin [7]. The results of this study are through the use of comics can increase student learning interest, through the application of a scientific approach is used to foster student curiosity, and have an impact on student achievement.…”

“…Based on the above test of normality output, Kolmogorov-Smirnov sig value 0,200 > 0,05, the curiosity sample data in learning mathematics is normally distributed, and can be continued to Paired Sample t Test. The results of hypothesis testing that aims to determine the differences in curiosity in students' mathematics learning before and after being taught with the scientific approach with the help of comic media are described as follows: H0 (3): there is no difference in students' curiosity to learn mathematics before and after being taught with a scientific approach with the help of comic media H1 (3): there are differences in students' curiosity to learn mathematics before and after being taught with a scientific approach with the help of comic media Based on the output of paired samples test, the sig value is 0,000 < 0,05, so H1 is accepted. Based on the output paired samples statistics obtained an average empirical pretest of 68,9123, the average empirical posttest curiosity of 81,4123.…”

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the scientific approach with comic saintific media on mathematics subject which is measured through an analysis of differences in learning achievement, learning interest, and curiosity in learning mathematics between before and after being taught through a scientific approach with comic scientific media. This research approach is quantitative with the type of Quasi Experimental Design method of Time Series Design. The population in this study were fourth grade students, in elementary schools in Bojongsari, Depok, with a sample of SD Nurul Hidayah, SD Tadikapuri, SD Permata Bunda. Data collection instruments were in the form of items, interest learning questionnaire sheets, and curiosity questionnaire sheets. Data analysis techniques in the form of testing hypotheses using statistics Paired Sample t Test with data preconditions must be normally distributed. The results showed that: 1) there were differences in students mathematics learning achievement before and after being taught with a scientific approach with comic scientific media, with an average pretest achievement of 65.7917 and posttest achievement of 79.1458; 2) there are differences in students interest in learning mathematics before and after being taught with a scientific approach with comic scientific media, with an average pretest interest of 66.1667 and a posttest interest of 80.0417; 3) there are differences in curiosity in learning mathematics before and after being taught with a scientific approach with comic scientific media, with an average pretest curiosity of 68,9123 and a posttest of 81,4123.

“…To that end, it is vital that educators incorporate those different modes of literacy into their day‐to‐day teaching. As Botzakis () noted, “When the definition of legitimate text becomes limited, educators also limit what students might be able to access that could spark their interests and become the impetus for lifelong learning” (p. 58). This definition of legitimate texts is one that has yet to be explored in depth by the larger literacy community.…”

Although the implementation of multimodalities in education is much lauded by education research, the educational value of such formats is uncertain for education stakeholders. This study relied on the use of focus group interviews and field notes to better understand how a group of middle school students felt about their graphic novel reading experience and the legitimacy of this format in an educational context. The researcher's findings suggest that the students enjoyed their graphic novel reading experience greatly; however, the participants did not consider graphic novel reading to be a valuable educational practice.

“…The multimodal nature of graphic novels has posed a challenge to the acceptance of such texts into the more traditional parameters of what constitutes literature and how literature should be understood (Botzakis, 2009;Wright, 2001). While graphic novels have become pervasive in libraries, schools, and mainstream bookstores, they do not easily fit into established categories because of the integrated nature of text and image.…”

In this article, the authors examine three Canadian coming-of-age stories, written as graphic novels, and pay particular attention to how the images and print text come together in the telling of the narrative. This approach reinforces the notion that form and content cannot be separated in this medium. Drawing on examples from each of the graphic novels and the interviews with the graphic novelists who wrote them, the article explores the complexity of the coming-of-age Janette Hughes is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education. Currently, Dr. Hughes is primarily focused on two SSHRC-funded projects. Students, Poetry, and New Media explore/show how the performative affordances of new media interact with students' creative processes, specifically how students' poetic thinking gets restructured and reorganized as they use new media to create digital poems. In the second project, Students as Performance Mathematicians, we consider parallels between the arts and mathematics: between what makes for ''a favourite book or movie'' and what makes for ''a favourite math idea or activity.'' It also leads us to look to the performing arts to understand students' repertoires for organizing and expressing the mathematical ideas they seek to communicate to one another and to their worlds outside of the classroom. Additional research projects focus on critical literacy through new media, graphic novels in the classroom, using wikis to teach reading and writing, and children's discourses in virtual play sites like Club Penguin and Webkinz World. Alyson King is a lecturer in the Communication program, Faculty of Criminology, Justice and Policy Studies. Dr. King's current research project explores how children, adolescents, and young adults read and understand non-fiction graphic novels/texts. Dr. King is also working on an online resource to help students develop the basic writing and math skills needed for university. This project is under development at NOOL.ca. In another project, Dr. King is examining how children learn and play in online virtual worlds such as Webkinz World. Other research interests include the history of women and higher education, the role of science, technology and education in creating a modern Canada, and the history of educational technologies.
