“Tempera-Tour”: Developing an Alternative Comic as Media Learning for Temperature and Heat Topics Through Traveling Story

Abstract

This study aims to develop comics on the theory of temperature and heat by incorporating the traveling storyline in its delivery. Comics are designed to be used as physics learning media for class XI high school. This development consists of four stages, namely: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The defining phase is carried out a need’s analysis to determine the urgency of the additional physics learning media in the form of comics. The design stage is in the form of compiling the comic storyline. The storyline presented follows the comic elements as story media. The development phase was carried out, making comic sketches and validated by several experts. The last stage is the distribution of products spread to high school. Based on the results of the feasibility test, obtained an average percentage of achievements for material experts 86%, learning media experts 89%, literary experts 81.25%, and graphic-design experts 88.4%. The average overall value obtained shows that the quality of the physics comic score interpretation of the temperature and heat material is rated very well. Based on the feasibility test and the trial of this comic product, it is declared feasible to be used as a physics learning media.
