PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN SMART BOX HEXAGON PADA MATERI SISTEM PENCERNAAN MANUSIA DI KELAS V SD NEGERI CANDI 1 KOTA SEMARANG

Natural and social science instruction in elementary schools frequently relies on conventional lectures and static textbooks, leaving students passive and struggling to visualize abstract physiological concepts. This study aims to describe the characteristics, examine the theoretical feasibility, and analyze the practical usability of the Smart Box Hexagon learning media for the human digestive system topic in fifth-grade classes. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) framework utilizing the ADDIE instructional model, which comprises Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation phases. The trial subjects involved 24 fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Candi 1, Semarang City. Data were collected through observation guidelines, interview protocols, expert validation sheets, and user response questionnaires, which were analyzed using descriptive percentage techniques. The Smart Box Hexagon was designed as a three-dimensional hexagonal container integrating six anatomical organ pockets, modular concept cards, interactive student worksheets, and quick response (QR) codes linked to instructional animations. Validation results yielded 84% from the material expert and 90% from the media expert, placing both in the highly feasible category. Practicality assessments demonstrated a student response score of 94.17% and a teacher response score of 94%, both classified as highly practical. These empirical findings confirm that the Smart Box Hexagon is technically feasible and highly practical as a supportive learning tool for human digestive system instruction in primary schools. ABSTRAK Pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial (IPAS) di sekolah dasar masih banyak mengandalkan metode ceramah dan buku teks, sehingga peserta didik cenderung pasif serta mengalami kesulitan dalam memvisualisasikan konsep fisiologis yang abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan karakteristik, menguji kelayakan teoretis, serta menganalisis kepraktisan media pembelajaran Smart Box Hexagon pada materi sistem pencernaan manusia untuk peserta didik kelas V sekolah dasar. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Research and Development (R&D) dengan menerapkan model pengembangan ADDIE yang mencakup tahap Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, dan Evaluation. Subjek uji coba penelitian melibatkan 24 peserta didik kelas V SD Negeri Candi 1 Kota Semarang. Instrumen pengumpulan data meliputi pedoman observasi, panduan wawancara, lembar validasi ahli materi dan media, serta angket respons pengguna yang dianalisis menggunakan teknik deskriptif persentase. Media Smart Box Hexagon dirancang dalam bentuk kotak heksagonal tiga dimensi yang mengintegrasikan enam kantong organ, kartu materi modular, lembar kerja peserta didik, dan kode respons cepat (quick response code / QR code) yang tertaut pada video pembelajaran interaktif. Hasil validasi menunjukkan persentase sebesar 84% dari ahli materi dan 90% dari ahli media dengan kategori sangat layak. Uji kepraktisan menghasilkan persentase respons peserta didik sebesar 94,17% dan respons guru sebesar 94%, yang keduanya berada pada kualifikasi sangat praktis. Berdasarkan capaian tersebut, media Smart Box Hexagon dinyatakan sangat layak dan sangat praktis untuk digunakan sebagai media pendukung dalam pembelajaran materi sistem pencernaan manusia di sekolah dasar.
