PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA FILTER AIR SABUT KELAPA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEPEDULIAN LINGKUNGAN SISWA PADA MATERI TINDAKAN PENGHEMATAN AIR PEMBELAJARAN IPAS KELAS III SDN 060853

Abstract

This research aims to develop a coconut fiber water filter to increase students'
environmental awareness in the water conservation lesson for third-grade science
students at SD Negeri 060853. This research was motivated by students' low
environmental awareness regarding water cleanliness, wasteful water use, and a
learning process that tends to be theoretical and lacks hands-on experience.
Therefore, concrete, contextual learning media that utilizes natural materials in the
surrounding environment are needed to encourage students to be more active in
learning. The research used Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE
development model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development,
Implementation, and Evaluation. The subjects were 20 third-grade students at SD
Negeri 060853.Data collection techniques were observation, interviews,
questionnaires, and documentation. The research instruments consisted of
validation sheets from media experts and subject matter experts, a practicality
questionnaire, and a student environmental awareness questionnaire. Data analysis
was conducted using descriptive quantitative methods using percentages and N
Gain calculations. The results showed that the Coconut Fiber Water Filter media
achieved a validity score of 86.6%, categorized as very valid. Its practicality was
categorized as very practical, at 87.2%. The media's effectiveness was
demonstrated by an increase in students' environmental awareness, from 51% in
the pretest to 91.2% in the posttest, with an N-Gain of 0.82, categorized as high.
Therefore, the Coconut Fiber Water Filter media is considered valid, practical, and
effective for use in science learning to increase students' environmental awareness.
