Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Ular Tangga pada Materi Bagian Tumbuhan dan Fungsinya dalam Pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam bagi Siswa Kelas Empat Sekolah Dasar Negeri 101900 Lubuk Pakam

Abstract

The limited availability of interactive learning media in elementary science classrooms often constrains students’ understanding of abstract biological concepts, particularly plant structure and function. This study aims to develop a snakes and ladders learning medium on the topic of plant parts and their functions and to examine its feasibility and practicality for fourth grade science learning. Employing a research and development approach adapted from the ADDIE model as formulated by Borg and Gall, the study followed six stages: problem identification, data collection, product design, validation, revision, and field testing. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires and response instruments administered to teachers and students. The research subjects consisted of fourth grade students at State Elementary School 101900 Lubuk Pakam. The findings indicate that the developed learning media achieved a feasibility score of 77 percent from media experts and 80 percent from content experts. Furthermore, teacher and student responses demonstrated that the media was practical and supportive of classroom learning. Overall, the study concludes that the snakes and ladders learning medium is both feasible and practical for enhancing elementary science instruction on plant structure and function.
