DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASEAN ENCYCLOPEDIA MEDIA TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' LEARNING OUTCOMES IN CLASS VI SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING AT SDN GROGOL SELATAN

Abstract

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, the learning program in schools underwent many changes. The learning process carried out by the teacher has an impact on the use of electronic books, learning videos and Google Meet technology being more dominant. The results of interviews and student questionnaires found several problems in distance learning related to mastery of material about ASEAN. The competencies that are expected to be at least elementary school students must be able to master the ASEAN material as one of the regional understanding abilities. Based on these findings, there is a need for innovation in the development of more meaningful learning media. The design of the ASEAN encyclopedia learning media that was developed contains more on the visual characteristics of images and forms of cooperation between countries. The picture material and content are packaged in a unified theme that can provide an analysis of cultural, economic, social geography space and values of togetherness between nations. Furthermore, the encyclopedia is also made into an easily accessible e-encyclopedia. The study used the ADDIE development model which was carried out in five steps, namely analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results show that the ASEAN encyclopedia learning media product can be used as a more comprehensive social studies learning media and can improve students' skills in regional studies through simulations and virtual role playing.
