IMPROVING STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING AND MOTIVATION IN SCIENTIFIC THINKING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MOTION GRAPHIC ANIMATED VIDEO IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

Abstract

In the era of society 5.0, we often find several educators who are still unable to utilize existing technology into an interesting learning medium. One effort that can be made is to create learning media by utilizing the latest technology. This research aims to produce a Motion Graphic animated video media design to increase students' motivation and understanding of scientific thinking in elementary schools. This research uses the Research and Development (RnD) development method using Dick and Carey (DnC) analysis to produce products in the form of Interactive Videos. Data collection techniques use observation, instruments, documentation, pre-test and post-test. The results of this research are: 1) The level of feasibility of the Motion Graphic animated video media is said to be feasible as proven by the test results of 3 experts, namely media and design experts, language experts, and material experts. The validation results for media and design experts with a mean of 94 (very valid), validation for language experts with a mean of 94.4 (very valid) and material experts with a mean of 92.1 (very valid). 2) The level of media effectiveness from the results of the t test analysis with a sig value. (2-tailed) or t-test p-value of 0.02, which means <0.05, indicating that there is significance in the application of Motion Graphic animated video learning media which has an effect on increasing students' motivation and understanding so that students' scientific thinking abilities develop smoothly. either through the use of this animated video media
