Development of Science Educational Poster Based on Ethnosocio-Technological Gong Art for Vibration and Wave Materials

Abstract

Contextual and meaningful science learning remains a challenge in making abstract concepts relevant to students’ lives. This study aims to develop a science educational poster based on ethnosociotechnology by integrating the local cultural values of gong art as a learning medium for vibration and wave materials. The research employed a 3D development model (Define, Design, and Develop) using validation sheets to assess the aspects of display, content, and function. Two expert validators participated in the validation process. The results showed that the poster achieved a feasibility percentage of 92.5%, categorized as “very feasible.” The poster features attractive visual design and an interactive barcode leading to digital educational games, which enhance students’ engagement and comprehension. The integration of local culture with scientific concepts encourages students to connect classroom learning with real-life contexts, fostering scientific literacy and cultural appreciation. Limited trials on students also showed positive responses (91.3%) toward the poster’s appearance, readability, and relevance. Therefore, the ethnosociotechnology-based educational poster is considered effective as a contextual and meaningful learning medium for science education. Future research is recommended to involve wider implementation and optimization of its digital features.
