Plosa Development: Integrating Canva and SAC to Improve Understanding of Simple Machines Concepts

Abstract

In the ever-evolving digital era, the need for innovative and interesting learning methods is increasingly urgent. Interactive learning media is an effective solution to face this challenge, by offering a more dynamic and enjoyable learning experience. This research aims to improve the understanding of the concept of simple machines through interactive learning media with the R&D method. The validity results were calculated as percentages and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the validity of the material and language reached 100% with the very good category, the design 93.75% with the very good category, and the media and technology 75% with the good category. The validity results show the highest percentages, namely materials, language, and design, while the lowest percentages are media and technology. Overall, the results of this study show that PLOSA has strong validity to proceed to the next stage. This research shows that the integration of Canva and SAC can create more visually appealing, interactive, and tailored learning media to students' needs.
