PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA POP UP BOOK BERBASIS NILAI KARAKTER UNTUK PEMBELAJARAN IPA DI SD/MI

Abstrak

Penelitian ini difokuskan pada pengembangan media pembelajaran berupa Pop Up Book yang mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai karakter dalam mata Pelajaran IPA pada Tingkat SD/MI. Dorongan utama penelitian ini berangkat dari kenyataan bahwa pemanfaatan media pembelajaran yang kreatif dan inovatif di sekolah dasar masih sangat minim, di mana para pendidik umumnya masih bertumpu pada metode konvensional seperti buku teks dan papan tulis. Di sisi lain, penanaman nilai karakter dalam proses belajar IPA juga belum berjalan secara terpadu dan terencana. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi literatur, dengan menghimpun data dari sumber-sumber Pustaka primer seperti buku ilmiah dan jurnal penelitian, serta sumber sekunder sebagai bahan pendukung. Pengolahan data menempuh tiga alur, yakni penyederhanaan data, pemaparan hasil, dan pengambilan simpulan. Media yang dihasilkan berbentuk Pop Up Book ukuran A4 dengan visualisasi tiga dimensi, mencakup topik-topik seperti symbiosis, struktur dan fungsi bagian tumbuhan serta organ indra pada manusia. Nilai-nilai karakter seperti keingintahuan, kepedulian terhadap alam, rasa tanggung jawab, semangat gotong royong, dan religiusitas turut disisipkan secara organik ke dalam isi media. Dari serangkaian penguji yang dilakukan, diperoleh temuan bahwa media ini memenuhi standar kelayakan dengan rata-rata validasi dari para ahli mencapai 92,08%. Dari aspek kepraktisan, respon guru menunjukkan angka 96-100%, sementara peserta didik memberikan penilaian di kisaran 85-98%, keduanya masuk kategori sangat praktis. Adapun dari segi keefektifan, ketuntasan belajar klasikal tercatat sebesar 92% dengan perolehan NGain 0,77 yang tergolong tinggi. Berdasarkan keseluruhan temuan tersebut, Pop Up Book berbasis nilai karakter ini layak dijadikan pilihan media pembelajaran IPA yang mampu menghadirkan pengalaman belajar yang menyenangkan sekaligus mendukung pembentukan karakter peserta didik secara menyeluruh di jenjang SD/MI. 

The present study is centered on the design and development of a Pop Up Book intended to serve as an educational tool that incorporates character- based values within Natural Science instruction at the primary and Islamic primary school level (SD/MI). The impetus for this research arises from the observation that adoption of engaging and imaginative teacing materials in elementary education continues to be scarce, with the majority of educators depending heavily on traditional approaches, including printed textbook and classroom boards. In addition, efforts to embed character education within science instruction have largely been inconsistent and unstructured. A qualitative methodology grounded in literature review was applied in this study, drawing upon primary sources such as academic text and peer-reviewed journals, alongside secondary references to enrich the data. The analysis was carried out through a three-phase process encompassing data simplification, data organizations. The developed product is an A4-format Pop Up Book featuring three-dimensional imagery, addressing subject matter including symbiosis, the anatomy ang roles of plant components, and the structure of human sense organs. Core character traits-among them intellectual curiosity, ecological sensitivity, and spiritual awareness-were woven naturally into the fabric of the material. Evaluation outcomes revealed that the medium successfully met established feasibility benchmarks, achieving a men expert validation rating of 92.08%. Concerning usability, educators awarded scores between 96% and 100%, while learners rated the medium between 85% and 98%, with both groups placing it in the highest practicality tier. With respect to learning outcomes, a class-wide completion rate of 92% was achieved, accompanied by an N-Gain value of 0.77, indicative of significant instructional gains. Taken together, these result affirm that the character-integrated Pop Up Book stand as a compelling and effective instructional resource for science education, one that fosters both academic engagement and the well-rounded personal development of students at the SD/MI level.  Keywords: Pop-Up Book, Science Learning Media, Character Education, Elementary School (SD/MI), Literature Review.
