Abstract

This research aims to analyze the needs for developing a board game as a learning medium to to enhance the speaking skills of third-grade elementary school students. Speaking is a crucial language skill that supports communication, confidence, and idea expression. However, many students still struggle to speak fluently and confidently, especially especially in storytelling. A fun and interactive learning medium is needed to address this issue, in line with students' cognitive development. This qualitative descriptive study involved interviews, observations, and questionnaires with teachers and students in a public elementary school. The findings reveal a lack of varied and engaging media for speaking activities. Students show strong interest in game-based learning, especially when it includes local cultural content and progressive challenge levels. The results indicate that a well-designed board game can effectively encourage student participation and improve their speaking abilities. This analysis will serve as the foundation for developing a board game prototype for third grade learners’ needs.

Abstract

Computational thinking is an essential 21st-century skill that remains low among elementary school students, particularly in Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning on the topic of changes in the state of matter. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of an educational game entitled The Adventure of Wunda as an interactive learning medium. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The instruments included expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments of computational thinking skills. The results showed that the game was valid according to experts, received “practical–very practical” responses from students, and effectively improved computational thinking skills, as indicated by a high N-Gain score and a significant difference based on the Wilcoxon test. Therefore, The Adventure of Wunda is feasible and effective for IPAS learning in elementary schools.
