Abstract

The magazine is one of the learning media that is rarely used in school. This research aimed to know the feasibility of endocrine system magazines and examine the learners' response to magazines as the media. This type of research is research and development. Five expert judgments tested the feasibility of the magazine. The aspects that were assessed were the material and media aspects. The product trials were done on nine students—the responses measured included cognitive, affective, and conative. The result of this research showed, on the feasible test CVR score of the material and media aspects was 1. Moreover, the CVI score was one as well. On the product trial, the score for cognitive aspect 85,18%, affective 83,33%, conative 87,77%, and the average responses 85,42%. It can be concluded that endocrine system magazine was feasible as learning media. Furthermore, magazines as a media gained a positive and strong response. So magazines can be a choice of media that can help learning activities.

Summary

Introduction

In essence, learning is an activity designed so that a person can learn well. This activity leads to obtaining behavioral changes by students and the delivery of learning materials by teachers (Pane & Dasopang, 2017). Many teachers still do not apply innovative learning media or do not even use learning media so that learning becomes monotonous and students feel bored (Tafonao, 2018). The use of conventional and instant media makes it possible that the media is not contextual, less attractive, monotonous, and does not follow the needs of students (Saputro & Suharto, 2015). Learning media helps the teacher's role and creates an active, innovative, creative, and fun learning atmosphere (Supriyono, 2018). Magazines are print media that contain content and images packaged attractively and intending to make it easier to understand the concept (Pratiwi, Gardjito, Hamidah, 2017). Magazines can help understand biological material and provide fun in learning biology (Dewi & Warso, 2014).
