“Tempera-Tour”: Developing an Alternative Comic as Media Learning for Temperature and Heat Topics Through Traveling Story

Abstract

This study aims to develop comics on the theory of temperature and heat by incorporating the traveling storyline in its delivery. Comics are designed to be used as physics learning media for class XI high school. This development consists of four stages, namely: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The defining phase is carried out a need’s analysis to determine the urgency of the additional physics learning media in the form of comics. The design stage is in the form of compiling the comic storyline. The storyline presented follows the comic elements as story media. The development phase was carried out, making comic sketches and validated by several experts. The last stage is the distribution of products spread to high school. Based on the results of the feasibility test, obtained an average percentage of achievements for material experts 86%, learning media experts 89%, literary experts 81.25%, and graphic-design experts 88.4%. The average overall value obtained shows that the quality of the physics comic score interpretation of the temperature and heat material is rated very well. Based on the feasibility test and the trial of this comic product, it is declared feasible to be used as a physics learning media.

The Development of Physics Digital Comics on Temperature and Heat Material to Improve The Critical Thinking Ability

“…By the concept of writing story content that includes adventure accompanied by problems, Tempera-Tour comics have goals and theories that are in line with this digital comic media. However, the digital comics in this study have different and more varied difficulty levels than the comics of Siswoyo, Mustokoweni, & Muliyati (2020).…”

“…It is necessary to compare it with previous studies on temperature and heat material using learning support media. Regarding a study conducted by Siswoyo, Mustokoweni, & Muliyati (2020), the learning media used in this study have some similarities, specifically the utilization of comic media with adventure storylines. By the concept of writing story content that includes adventure accompanied by problems, Tempera-Tour comics have goals and theories that are in line with this digital comic media.…”

“…A study conducted by Siswoyo, Mustokoweni, & Muliyati (2020) indicated the feasibility of the comic "Tempera-Tour" to be used as a learning media through four expert validators accompanied by excellent results. Furthermore, a study conducted by Sanyoto, Setyarsih, & Kholiq (2016) entitled "The Implementation of Interactive Demonstration Learning Model Assisted by Virtual Simulation Media to Reduce Students' Misconceptions on Temperature, Heat, and Heat Transfer Materials" utilized virtual simulation media to analyze the decrease in students' misconceptions.…”

Digital Comic Media on Smartphones to Improve Communication Skills

“…Learning requires learning media that provide a stimulus to increase real imagination. Digital comic media can provide imagination that continues to develop according to students' cognitive abilities and connects existing knowledge with new knowledge (Samanci, 2010;Sheu & Chu, 2017;Siswoyo & G Mustokoweni, 2020;Tekle-Haimanot et al, 2016). In detail, developing digital comic media aims to improve students' communication skills.…”

The Development of E-Comic Learning Media for Elementary School Mathematics Learning

“…This development research uses a 4-D (Four-D model) development design model developed by Thiagarajan (1974) (Hobri, Murtikusuma, & Hermawan, 2019;Siswoyo, Mustokoweni, & Muliyati, 2020;Yuliana, Wiryawan, & Riyadi, 2018). This research used 4-D models as it is systematic and best suited to be applied in the development of learning media in the form of e-comic.…”
