The development of comic-based geometry teaching materials in an Islamic Elementary School

Abstract

This research aims to develop comic-based mathematics teaching materials on the material of geometry in mathematics subjects. Comic teaching materials include content that discusses the basic ability to understand the material of geometry in grade 1 Islamic elementary school. This research uses the (Research and Development) R&D approach with the ASSURE model which has 6 stages of the process, namely: analyze learners, select objectives, select media & materials, utilize media & materials, require learner participation, evaluate & revise. This research only describes the development stage, because conditions do not allow using all stages. The data collection technique used questionnaires and interviews. The data collection instrument is a validation sheet for material experts, media experts, and learning design experts. Based on the research results, 78% of the material validation results fall into the good or practical category. Media validation findings obtained 83%, so it is in the very good category. The findings of learning design expert validation with a percentage of 90% are classified in the excellent category. Thus, it can be stated that comic teaching materials on the material of geometry in the discipline of mathematics can be used in the learning process at school.
