Abstract

The development of educational games as an effort to solve problems in Social Science subjects, the learning media used is still less varied, where there are several media used such as modules, LKPD and PowerPoint in learning which cause students to be less interested in learning Social Sciences and also less understanding of the material because there are no visual examples. Interactive media such as educational games are expected to be able to make students more interested in learning in Social Science subjects. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) development method with a 4D development model consisting of Define, Design, Development, Disseminate stages. The validity test was carried out by 3 experts, namely 1 material validator and 2 media validators. The practicality test was carried out by grade VIII students. And the dissemination is carried out by spreading media links to MGMP IPS Padang City. Based on the validity test by material experts, the results were obtained with a percentage of 92.5% with the category "Very Appropriate". The results of the product validity test with media experts I and media experts II obtained percentages of 95.8% and 98.6% with the category "Very Valid". The results of the practicality test obtained a percentage of 95.5% with the category "Very Practical". Based on the results of validity and practicality, it can be concluded that the educational games developed can be used in Social Science learning. However, in the dissemination of educational game media, this is still limited to the MGMP IPS group of Padang City.
