DEVELOPING WATER CYCLE STAGE MEDIA FOR SCIENCE LEARNING AT GRADE V

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal how to develop the water cycle stage media for science learning at grade V, to analyze the feasibility of the water cycle stage media developed for science learning at grade V, and to reveal the students’ response to the water cycle stage learning media. This study was conducted at SDN Teras 1. The subjects of this study were 20 grade V students at SDN Teras 1, in which 15 students were involved in a limited trial. This study was conducted based on the Borg and Gall model modified by Sugiyono. This model included six stages: namely problem analysis, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, and product testing. The instruments in this study were questionnaire sheets addressed to the lecturer and students. Based on the result of data analysis, it was found that the quality of the water cycle stage media was presented in three categories. First, the feasibility of the water cycle media from the media experts was categorized as very feasible with a percentage of 91.3%. Then, according to the material experts, this media was also categorized as very feasible with a percentage of 93%. Finally, the feasibility result from the education experts was categorized as very feasible with a percentage of 93%. In addition, after conducting the trial on 15 students, the result of the students’ response to the water cycle stage media was 89%, which was also in the very feasible category.
