Development of Water Cycle Comic Media to Improve Student Learning Outcomes

The lack of use of instructional media affects student learning outcomes. While the characteristics of elementary school students prefer something interesting, concrete, accompanied by high curiosity. Therefore, researchers developed a water cycle comic media to improve the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in elementary schools with the purpose of the study to discover the feasibility of a water cycle comic media including validity, practicality, and effectiveness. In its development, researchers used the ADDIE model which consists of five stages with evaluation at each stage. From the results of research on the development of comic media for water cycle material, the percentage obtained from media validity was 95.31%, material validation was 92.5%, and language validation was 93.75%. Furthermore, the practicality data of comic media about the material of the water cycle on the water cycle based on the student response questionnaire was 91.07%. Data on the effectiveness of the water comic cycle media from student learning outcomes in pre-test and post-test activities have a significant increase in n-gain analysis with an average increase of 0.71 which has a "high" category. So the use of comic media has an impact on student learning outcomes and student creativity.
