Development of Snakes and Ladders Media Assisted by PBL to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in Science Subjects in Class IV SDN 20 Dadok Tunggul Hitam Padang

Abstrak

In IPAS learning, various aspects are involved in achieving learning objectives, one of which is the use of instructional media. However, in reality, many schools still lack adequate use of learning media. A quality learning process requires supporting factors such as media that facilitate teaching and learning activities. The purpose of this study is to develop a snakes and ladders media assisted by ProblemBased Learning (PBL) to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in IPAS subjects at SDN 20 Dadok Tunggul Hitam Padang that meets valid criteria. Additionally, the study aims to assess the implementation of the snakes and ladders media assisted by PBL in terms of its practicality and effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes. This research is a Research and Development (R&D) study, which focuses on developing an educational product. The instruments used include a validation questionnaire for the snakes and ladders media assessed by experts, a practicality questionnaire filled out by teachers and students of SDN 20 Dadok Tunggul Hitam Padang, and an effectiveness test measured through student learning outcomes. Based on the research analysis, the validity score obtained was 89%, meeting the criteria for being highly valid and suitable for use as a learning medium in elementary schools. The practicality score of the developed snakes and ladders media assisted by PBL was 94.16%, indicating that it is highly practical. Furthermore, the effectiveness score of student learning outcomes reached 78%, demonstrating that the media is effective for use in the IPAS learning process for fourth-grade students. This suggests that the snakes and ladders media assisted by PBL is highly valid, practical, and effective in improving student learning outcomes. One advantage of this media is that it is combined with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. According to Kristyanawati et al. (2019:2), PBL is a teaching strategy used by teachers to engage students in solving a particular problem.
