Development of Google Sites as a problem-based learning media for IPAS learning in fourth-grade elementary schools
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan Google Sites sebagai media pembelajaran berbasis Problem Based Learning (PBL) untuk pembelajaran IPAS pada topik Indonesia Kaya Budaya bagi siswa kelas empat SD dan untuk menentukan validitas, kepraktisan, dan efektivitasnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian dan Pengembangan dengan model ADDIE, yang terdiri dari tahapan Analisis, Desain, Pengembangan, Implementasi, dan Evaluasi. Partisipan penelitian adalah 68 siswa kelas empat dari tiga SD di Kabupaten Pasaman Barat, Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan melalui lembar validasi ahli, kuesioner kepraktisan, dan instrumen pretest-posttest, dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis validitas, kepraktisan, dan efektivitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media yang dikembangkan mencapai kategori sangat valid dengan skor validitas rata-rata 89,38%, kategori sangat praktis dengan skor kepraktisan 95% dari guru dan 88,63% dari siswa, dan kategori sangat efektif dengan peningkatan skor rata-rata siswa dari 75,33 pada pretest menjadi 96,15 pada posttest dan skor N-Gain sebesar 0,86 (86,48%). Disimpulkan bahwa Google Sites yang terintegrasi dengan Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk mendukung pembelajaran IPAS yang interaktif, kontekstual, dan bermakna bagi siswa kelas empat sekolah dasar di era digital.
