Development of Miniature Food Chain Learning Media for Local Ecosystem-Based Science Instruction in Grade V
Keywords:
research and development, ADDIE model, miniature media, food chain, elementary science educationAbstract
At the elementary school level, particularly in science instruction on food chain material, the development of innovative learning media is essential to enhance both the quality of instruction and the creativity of teachers and students. Instructional media function as tools specifically designed to convey information and stimulate students' thoughts, attention, and willingness to learn, thereby supporting the achievement of learning objectives. This study employed the ADDIE model, comprising five sequential stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research participants consisted of 30 fifth-grade students at SD Inpres 16, Sorong Regency. The findings indicate that the developed miniature food chain media was proven valid, as confirmed through assessment by material, language, and design experts. With respect to practicality, the media was deemed practical, obtaining an average trial score of 75 among student users. The effectiveness test likewise demonstrated favourable results, with a mean post-test score of 82.6 (high category) and a classical mastery percentage of 98%. It is therefore concluded that the miniature food chain media is valid, practical, and effective for use in fifth-grade science instruction at SD Inpres 16, Sorong Regency.
