Development of Powtoon-Based Learning Media On Class VII Environmental Pollution Materialat Junior High School Brother Don Bosco Tomohon

Abstract

Learning activities are influenced by factors that include subject matter, media, supporting facilities, teachers and the surrounding environment. Media as a component in learning activities has a function as a means of communication, meaning that media absolutely must exist or must be utilized in learning activities. One of the media that can support the learning process is Powtoon. Powtoon is an IT-based web application that can be used as a learning medium in which there are interesting features such as features for making presentations or animated videos that can be used easily and attractively, thus Powtoon can be utilized in the development of learning media .This study aims to (1) produce Powtoon-based learning media on environmental pollution material, (2) determine the feasibility of Powtoon-based learning media on environmental pollution material, (3) determine the effectiveness of Powtoon-based learning media on environmental pollution material. The research methodology used refers to the Borg and Gall model (Palilingan, 2014). The subjects in this study were students of class VII SMP Brother Don Bosco Tomohon. The results of development research show that (1) Powtoon-based learning media on environmental pollution material is suitable for use with the acquisition of material expert percentage I of 88.57%, material expert II of 90% and media expert percentage of 90.47%. (2) The effectiveness of Powtoon-based learning media on environmental pollution material obtained a percentage of 77.41% with the criteria high/very effective.
