Development of Snakes and Ladder Media Based on Contextual Learning Containing Pancasila Student Profiles in The Pancasila Education Subject to Improve Students' Learning Interest in Elementary Schools

Abstract

Contextual learning connects the learning process with everyday life. However, students’ learning interest remains low, as seen from the methods, media, and learning models used by teachers in the classroom. This study aims to develop a snakes and ladders media based on contextual learning, assess its feasibility, and analyze its effectiveness in increasing students’ learning interest at SDN Gedong 03 Jakarta. This research uses a development method with the 4D model, involving media and design experts, material experts, and students. The results show that media and design experts gave an overall score of 80% (feasible category with revisions), material experts obtained 93% (feasible category), while student respondents gave 85% (large group) and 83% (small group). The effectiveness of the snakes and ladders media scored 70% (effective category), and students’ learning interest reached 82% (very good category). The findings indicate that the contextual learning-based snakes and ladders media with the content of the Pancasila Student Profile can increase students’ learning interest and is effective for classroom use, especially in elementary schools.
