Abstract

Ecosystem literacy is crucial for elementary school students in facing ecological challenges. Transmissive learning and teachers' limited ability to develop digital media hinder the development of higher-order thinking skills. This study developed Canva-assisted PBL media to improve ecosystem literacy in fifth-grade students at an elementary school in West Bandung Regency. This study used the Research and Development (RnD) method with the ADDIE model. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used to measure the media's effectiveness. Data were collected through validation sheets from media experts, material experts, and education practitioners. Teacher and student practicality questionnaires, PBL implementation observation sheets, and a 25-item ecosystem literacy test measured three dimensions of scientific literacy. The results showed that the media received valid categories from media experts and material experts, high practicality from teachers and students, and was proven effective in significantly improving students' ecosystem literacy. The integration of authentic PBL-based problem scenarios with Canva's investigative infographics was particularly effective in developing students' scientific inquiry competencies, especially in areas that are often difficult to cultivate through conventional learning.

Abstrak

Literasi ekosistem penting bagi murid sekolah dasar dalam menghadapi tantangan ekologi. Pembelajaran yang masih transmisif dan keterbatasan guru dalam mengembangkan media digital menghambat pengembangan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Penelitian ini mengembangkan media PBL berbantuan Canva untuk meningkatkan literasi ekosistem pada murid kelas V di SDN Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (RnD) dengan model ADDIE. Desain one-group pretest-posttest digunakan untuk mengukur efektivitas media. Data dikumpulkan melalui lembar validasi dari ahli media, ahli materi, dan praktisi pendidikan. Angket praktikalitas guru dan murid, lembar observasi keterlaksanaan PBL, serta tes literasi ekosistem sebanyak 25 butir yang mengukur tiga dimensi literasi sains. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media memperoleh kategori valid dari ahli media dan ahli materi, praktikalitas tinggi dari guru dan murid, serta terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi ekosistem murid secara signifikan. Integrasi skenario masalah autentik berbasis PBL dengan infografis investigatif Canva secara khusus efektif dalam mengembangkan kompetensi inkuiri sains murid, terutama pada aspek yang cenderung sulit dikembangkan melalui pembelajaran konvensional.
