<![CDATA[The ability of prospective teacher students to develop science learning media that are innovative, contextual, and integrated with environmental issues still needs attention because the media developed are often not able to connect science concepts with real environmental problems around students. This study aimed to analyze the ability of students of the Elementary School Teacher Education Program at STKIP Majenang in developing environment-based science flap books for elementary schools. The research employed a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The research subjects consisted of sixth-semester students from classes A and B who were enrolled in the Elementary Science Learning course, totaling 77 students. The research instruments included a flap book assessment rubric, student ability questionnaires, and interview guidelines. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive quantitative analysis through score calculation, mean scores, and percentage achievement of student abilities. The results showed that the students’ ability in developing environment-based science flap books was categorized as very good. In the product assessment, class A obtained an average percentage of 82.25%, while class B achieved 82.31%. Meanwhile, the questionnaire results indicated an average percentage of 82.92% for class A and 83.52% for class B. The visual creativity aspect achieved the highest score, whereas the environmental integration aspect obtained the lowest score although it still fell into the good category. Interview results revealed that flap books were able to enhance students’ creativity in developing attractive and interactive learning media. However, students still experienced difficulties in integrating environmental issues into science materials contextually. This study indicates that the development of environment-based flap books can serve as an effective learning alternative to improve the readiness of prospective elementary school teachers in developing innovative, creative, and contextual science learning media.Keywords: Environment, flap book, science learning media, student abilities]]>
