PERANCANGAN MEDIA EDUKASI BERBASIS VIRTUAL REALITY TEMA DAMPAK MODERNISASI TRANSPORTASI DENGAN METODE MULTIMEDIA DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE

Modern transportation provides ease of mobility but also causes air pollution. This material is listed in Theme 9 of the 2013 Curriculum, but the presentation is still minimal visualization so that students find it difficult to understand the material. This research aims to design Virtual Reality-based educational media called VROYAGE to visualize the impact of transportation modernization on air pollution. Development using the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method. Testing includes black box testing which shows 100% of functions run well, usability testing with the System Usability Scale (SUS) approach on 15 students with an average score of 84.5 (Excellent category), and compatibility testing on three Android devices that prove the application runs stable on various specifications. The effectiveness of the application was tested through pre-test and post-test, with the average student score increasing from 12.87 to 19.93, as well as an N-Gain value of 0.57 (medium category). These results show that the VROYAGE application runs optimally, is easy to use, compatible on various devices, and effectively improves students' understanding of the material. Thus, this application can be an alternative learning media that is more visual, and contextual, and is able to answer the limitations in delivering material about the impact of transportation modernization on elementary school students.

Modernisasi transportasi memberi kemudahan mobilitas namun juga menimbulkan polusi udara. Materi ini tercantum dalam Tema 9 Kurikulum 2013, tetapi penyajiannya masih minim visualisasi sehingga siswa sulit memahami materi. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang media edukasi berbasis Virtual Reality yang diberi nama VROYAGE untuk memvisualisasikan dampak modernisasi transportasi terhadap pencemaran udara. Pengembangan menggunakan metode Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC). Pengujian meliputi black box testing yang menunjukkan 100% fungsi berjalan baik, usability testing dengan pendekatan System Usability Scale (SUS) pada 15 siswa dengan nilai rata-rata 84,5 (kategori Excellent), serta compatibility testing pada tiga perangkat Android yang membuktikan aplikasi berjalan stabil di berbagai spesifikasi. Efektivitas aplikasi diuji melalui pre-test dan post-test, dengan rata-rata nilai siswa meningkat dari 12,87 menjadi 19,93, serta nilai N-Gain sebesar 0,57 (kategori sedang). Hasil ini menunjukkan aplikasi VROYAGE berjalan optimal, mudah digunakan, kompatibel pada berbagai perangkat, dan efektif meningkatkan pemahaman siswa terhadap materi. Dengan demikian, aplikasi ini dapat menjadi media pembelajaran alternatif yang lebih visual, dan kontekstual, serta mampu menjawab keterbatasan dalam menyampaikan materi tentang dampak modernisasi transportasi pada siswa sekolah dasar.
