Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Animaker pada Mata Pelajaran IPAS SD Negeri 023971 Binjai Barat

This study addresses the challenges faced by SD Negeri 023971 Binjai Barat, where the integration of learning media in classroom instruction has been notably limited. The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of Animaker-based learning media within this educational context. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach grounded in the ADDIE model—comprising Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—the study systematically assessed the educational resource. Initial validation from material experts yielded a feasibility score of 71.66%, categorized as “Feasible.” Subsequent evaluations indicated a significant improvement, with the material expert score rising to 90%, classified as “Very Feasible.” Although media experts initially rated the media at 60% (“Less Appropriate”), their assessment dramatically increased to 93.33% (“Very Appropriate”) in the second round of validation, confirming the content's efficacy. Practitioners, specifically class IV teachers, evaluated the media's practicality at 89.41%, categorizing it as “Very Practical.” Furthermore, effectiveness was determined through a learner response questionnaire, achieving an average score of 90.77% (“Very Effective”). Pre-test and post-test analyses demonstrated an N-Gain value of 0.645, classified as “Effective,” indicating notable student learning outcomes. In conclusion, Animaker-based learning media is affirmed to be highly feasible, practical, and effective for enhancing educational experiences.
