Pengembangan bahan ajar komik fisika berbasis pendekatan kontekstual pada materi hukum Newton

Abstract

The teaching material is a set of tools that is used for learning, which contains materials, methodes, limitations, and how to evaluate systematically to achieve the objective of learning. However, the existing teaching materials are only focused on deliver the materials and the formula without connecting them with everyday phenomena. Moreover, the students show their interest towards the teaching materials in the form of comics which deliver the materials throughout the illustrated storyline. Therefore, this research aims to compile teaching materials in the form of comics about physics based on a contextual approach to the Newton's Law material. The research method is the Research and Development (R&D) with Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation model. The result of the research can be seen through material validation and media validation which have a value of 83,67% and 84,00% respectively and are declared as very feasible to be used in learning. Based on the result of the increased understanding of the concept that has been done, it is found that the N-gain value is 65,54% which shows that the developed teaching material in the form of comics about physics is average category in order to increase the understanding of the concept. The students gave positive response and showed interest towards this teaching material. The teachers also gave positive response to use this comic as teaching material to support the learning process.

Development of Comic-Based Teaching Materials in Elementary Schools

“…Visualized expressions make the reader emotionally involved so that the reader continues to read it until it is finished.
