Development of Student Worksheets Based on Comics to Improve Students' Motivation and Learning Outcomes on Material Vibration, Waves and Sound

Abstract

This research develops a comic-based student worksheet to learn about feasibility, learning outcomes, and motivation of the student worksheet. The research was carried out using research and development (R&D) methods with the ADDIE development model. The implementation of this comic-based Student Worksheet uses a pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this study were students of class VIII at MTsN 3 Banda Aceh. The samples in this study were 57 students in the class of Abu Bakar Ash Siddiq and Zaid bin Thabit who were selected by purposive sampling. Data collection using validation tests, written tests, and questionnaires. The results of the feasibility test showed that the Developed Student Worksheet was included in the feasible category with an average score of assessments by experts and natural science teachers of 91.25% and 99.03%. Analysis of learning outcomes data using the t-test, obtained tcount>ttable (4.42> 2.01) shows that there are differences in the value of student learning outcomes between the experimental and control classes where the value of the experimental class is higher than the control class. Results of analysis Motivation of students tcount>ttable (15,53> 2,01) also shows the use of comic-based worksheets can increase students' learning motivation so that it can be concluded that the use of comic-based worksheets is feasible, it can improve student learning outcomes and motivation

Students' Creative Thinking Ability Through Creative Problem Solving based Learning

“…Lince (2016) suggests that the thinking process as well as some of the intelligences possessed by students, modalities and learning styles, should be managed as much as possible to become an effective learning strategy. And in its delivery, teachers must also use scientific language in a way that is comfortable in conveying concepts, and motivates students to want to explore information independently (Khaira et al 2020). Ritter et.al (2020) also suggested that practicing creative thinking in learning can improve students' ideation skills and cognitive flexibility.…”

The Study of Worksheets Based on Creative Problem Solving for Biology Subjects

“…Not only do they use constructivist learning methods, but their teaching materials such as worksheets only measure low-level thinking skills. According to Khaira et al (2020), teachers must apply various innovative strategies to make learning more meaningful, use scientific language in present concepts, and always motivate students to find information independently. One of the strategies used is to create worksheets based on higher-order thinking skills.…”

Validity and Practicality of Student Worksheets on Waves and Sounds for Junior High School Students

“…Quality, valid, and practical Student worksheets can be used in the learning process (Khaira et al, 2020;Muskita et al, 2020;Frisilla & Hardeli, 2022;Purwoto, 2022;Sari et al, 2021;Sri et al, 2019). This proves that the valid and practical Student Worksheet for sound and wave materials for junior high school students can be used to determine effectiveness in the learning process.…”
