Development of Interactive Learning Media to Improve Students' Conceptual Understanding Through Series Parallel Electricity Diorama (SPE)

Abstract

Natural science is a field of science that studies the causes and effects of events in nature, which means the method of learning about nature systematically, so that science is not only the acquisition of a collection of knowledge in the form of facts, concepts, and principles, but also a process of discovery. Physics is a branch of science that studies the properties and interactions of time, space, energy, and matter. Diorama media is a media that combines various symbolic and realistic materials to create a three-dimensional representation. In dynamic electricity material, it is very important to understand the concept. In this modern era, the development of learning media is very diverse and innovative. Teachers and education experts have developed many learning media, both digital and non-digital, to help students more easily understand concepts and make learning less boring. The purpose of this journal is to explore how the principle of parallel-series circuit can be used to create dynamic electricity diorama learning media. The method used is based on Borg and Gall research and development and supported by qualitative descriptive analysis. The research conducted shows that the three highest validation results are usage, appearance, and design with a percentage of 78%, 90%, and 84%. The two lowest verification results are Media and Material with a percentage of 68% and 78%. The conclusion from the validation results is that the series-parallel electrical diorama (SPE) is feasible to be developed to the next stage.
