Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is the development of a woman's concern for the condition of her breasts for early detection of breast cancer. This study aims to develop Mamae Jingle (MAMOJI) educational media as an effort to detect breast cancer early on in adolescent girls. MAMOJI is an audio-visual-based educational media containing BSE steps. This research design uses the Research and Development method. This research was conducted up to the pilot stage using ten samples of teenage girls at SMA Negeri 1 Gondanglegi aged 15–17 years who were already menstruating. The research instrument used a product assessment questionnaire and pre and post-test questionnaires to measure young women about BSE. After going through various processes, the results from expert validation found that MAMOJI received an assessment weight of 94.2% from material experts and 98.6% from media experts, with a very decent category, while the average results of product assessment respondents obtained results of 94.2% (very feasible). As well as for adolescent knowledge, after being analyzed and tested with paired sample t-test obtained p-value <0.001, which indicates there is a difference in ability before and after being given MAMOJI media. It is hoped that the development of MAMOJI can complement the existing BSE education methods. It is hoped that an increase in young women's knowledge about BSE and it is expected that young women can apply to BSE.
