Abstract

Teacher creativity to create a fun teaching and learning atmosphere plays an important role in developing the potential of students. For example, teachers can develop an effective learning media to engage students in meaningful learning. However, few teachers can develop learning media as is the case in MIN 4 Jember. From the preliminary study, they found it difficult to develop an effective instructional media which caused student learning outcomes low. Thus, this study aims to develop an effective pop-up book based media to improve the learning outcomes of natural event themes of students in class I of MIN 4 Jember. The present research employs the development study by modifying the Brog and Gall development model. The model consists of several stages, namely: finding a problem; collecting data; design / product development; design / product validation; design / product revision; and trial use. The final product of this research is in the form of pop-up book based media developed from two aspects, material aspects and media aspects. The results of the validity trials obtained from experts on learning materials were 88% and experts on learning media were 82% with valid qualifications. The t-related test results also showed a significant difference between the acquisition of the learning outcomes of the control class and the experimental class that was 25%. It can be concluded that this pop-up book based media is appropriate for use in learning and is effective in improving the first grader students learning outcomes of natural event theme of MIN 4 Jember.
