Pengembangan Game Berbasis Construct 3 Untuk Meningkatkan Minat dan Pemahaman Konsep IPA Pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This study aims to develop an educational game titled “Ludo Cendekia” using Construct 3 to enhance elementary school students’ interest in and understanding of science concepts. The research method employed was Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, which comprises the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and questionnaires administered to 19 students and 1 teacher at SD Negeri 067 Tanjab Barat. System testing was performed using Blackbox Testing to assess system functionality, as well as a User Acceptance Test (UAT) to measure user acceptance levels. The results of the study indicate that all system functions operate effectively and achieved a high level of user acceptance, with 65.49% strongly agreeing and 28.64% agreeing. These results demonstrate that the developed educational game is effective in enhancing student engagement and aiding their understanding of science concepts. This research contributes to the development of game-based interactive learning media that can serve as an alternative for science education in elementary schools
