Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the effect of using an interactive flipbook media about aloe vera on students' conceptual understanding of plant reproduction at SD Panatagama Islamic School. The research method employed was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of this study were fifth-grade students, divided into two groups: an experimental group, which utilized the flipbook, and a control group, which followed conventional learning methods. Data was collected using comprehension tests administered before and after the intervention. The results were analyzed using a t-test to evaluate the differences in learning outcomes between the two groups. The findings revealed a significant difference in students' conceptual understanding of plant reproduction between the groups. The experimental group demonstrated a higher increase in understanding compared to the control group. This suggests that the use of flipbooks as an interactive learning medium effectively enhances students' understanding of plant reproduction. Therefore, flipbooks can serve as an engaging alternative learning medium to support the teaching of science concepts in elementary schools.
