Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran dengan Aplikasi "Eduskrip" (Edukasi Deskripsi) Bertema Agroindustri Jember dalam Pembelajaran Menulis Teks Deskripsi di Kelas VII SMP Negeri 5 Jember

Abstract

This study was motivated by the results of a needs analysis, which showed that most of the descriptive texts written by seventh-grade students in Class A tended to lean toward narrative texts. The students still struggled to use conjunctions, sentences, and coherent structures appropriately. Furthermore, the learning process is still limited to the use of PowerPoint alone. Therefore, an interactive multimedia tool themed around Jember’s agroindustry was developed to address the needs in this field. Based on this background, this study aims to outline the following: 1) the definition phase of the “Eduskrip” application; 2) the design phase of the “Eduskrip” application; 3) the development phase of the “Eduskrip” application; and 4) the dissemination phase of the “Eduskrip” application. The research type used to achieve these objectives is R&D (Research and Development) with a 4D research design (Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate). Based on the validators’ assessments, the results showed an acceptance rate of 86.7% among learning experts, 92.5% among language experts, 92% among design experts, and 97% among Indonesian language practitioners for all three aspects. When viewed from the students’ evaluations, the overall results showed a percentage of 89.8% in the initial trial and 93% in the final trial. Based on the percentages obtained, the “Eduskrip” medium is categorized as highly suitable for implementation in learning activities.
