Pengembangan Media Virtual Reality berbasis Project Based Learning dan Efektivitasnya untuk Historical Thinking Skill

Abstract

This development research aims to produce a Virtual Reality-based Project Based Learning media product that is validated by experts and assess its effectiveness on Historical Thinking Skills. The development model utilizes the ASSURE Model. The media development has undergone expert validation, user trials, small group trials, and main field trials involving 32 participants to determine the level of effectiveness of the developed product. Data analysis employs paired sample t-tests, and effectiveness is assessed using the eta squared formula. The expert validation results include three experts: media design validation with a score of 4.5 (Above Average), subject matter validation with a score of 4.7 (Outstanding), and language validation with a score of 4.9 (Outstanding). The user trial results yielded a score of 4.7 (Outstanding). The expert validation of media design indicates that the media can be used with minor revisions, while the subject matter, language validation, and user trials show that the media can be used without revisions. The media's effectiveness in enhancing historical thinking skills showed a value of 0.801 in the small group trial and 0.61 in the large group trial, placing the effectiveness results in the "large effect" category. Based on the conducted effectiveness tests, the Virtual Reality-based project-based learning media has proven to have a significant effect in improving the historical thinking skills of the participants.
