Development of Baamboozle Media on the Material "Various Forms of Energy" in Grade III UPT SDN Plosorejo 01 to Improve Students' Critical Thinking

Abstract

This research aims to develop web-based learning media using Baamboozle on the topic of various forms of energy for third-grade students at UPT SDN Plosorejo 01, with the goal of enhancing critical thinking skills. The background of the research is the lack of varied, engaging, and interactive learning media, which affects students' attention and understanding of energy materials. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, which includes needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected thru observation, interviews, questionnaires, tests, and documentation, and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research results show that the developed Baamboozle media is valid and feasible to use, as well as effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills based on the tests and validations conducted. In conclusion, the web-based Baamboozle learning media can be an innovative solution to enhance students' motivation and critical thinking in learning energy material in elementary schools.
