Developing a Wordwall-Based Card Sort on Animal Life Cycles Improves Self-Esteem and Scientific Literacy in Grade 3 Students

Abstract

This research aims to develop IT-based learning media. Learning media has not been maximally applied
for effectiveness during the learning process. The researcher develops a card sort learning media based
on Wordwall with the topic of animal life cycles. This research aims to improve students' self-esteem
and science literacy. In designing the card sort based on Wordwall, the Research and Development
method is applied. The development process follows the ASSURE model, which consists of six stages:
student analysis, target determination, method selection, media and material selection, media and
material application, encouraging student participation, and finally evaluation and revision. The topic
and source of this research are 3rd-grade students at SDN Tumpang 02 in Blitar Regency. Data collection
techniques consist of observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and tests. Data analysis
techniques use normality tests, homogeneity tests, paired sample t-tests, N-gain tests, and MANOVA
tests assisted by SPSS 25. The results of the hypothesis test are obtained from the paired sample t-test
with a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05 with a t-count of -5.671. The N-gain test result is 0.68, and the
MANOVA test result is 0.999 > 0.096. Interviews, recordings, and surveys from experts in the media,
material, and language sectors are used to collect information. Validation of self-esteem and science
literacy improvement is crucial. The validation process in this development involves three validators
representing the three fields, resulting in a media expert validator with a percentage result of 87%, a
material expert validator with a percentage result of 97%, and a language expert validator with a
percentage result of 90%. All three results fall into the "very valid" category.
