DIOSIKLISTER (Interactive Electric Water Cycle Diorama) Learning Innovation to Support Contextual and Enjoyable Science Learning

Abstract

Some Science concepts are abstract and use less engaging learning media, making it difficult for students to understand the material and resulting in low student learning outcomes. To address this issue, a learning media titled DIOSIKLISTER was developed. DIOSIKLISTER (Interactive Electric Water Cycle Diorama) is an interactive learning medium that integrates the conceptof the Water Cycle with simple electrical circuits. The novelty of this innovation lies in the integration of the water cycle and electricity concepts presented in the form of a 3D visual medium. This research aims to develop and determine the feasibility of DIOSIKLISTER in teaching and learning activities. The method used is research and development with the 3D model (define, design, development). In the definition stage, problem analysis was conducted and the product was developed. In the design stage, the product design was created. And in the development stage, feasibility testing was conducted through validation by media experts and material experts. Subsequently, a validation score of 84% was obtained within the score scale interval of 80%-100%, which is categorized as excellent. Thus, the learning media innovation is declared feasible for use. Therefore, it is recommended to implement it in teaching activities to enhance students’ understanding.
