Abstract

The low level of students’ understanding in learning Natural Sciences, particularly on renewable energy topics, in elementary schools is partly due to the lack of interactive learning media that align with children's learning characteristics. This study aims to analyze the needs of both teachers and students for the development of interactive infographic media grounded in the discovery learning approach. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, using closed-ended questionnaires as the primary data collection instrument. The respondents consisted of 30 students and six classroom teachers from an elementary school in Musi Banyuasin Regency. The questionnaire covered pedagogical, technical, cognitive, aesthetic, and evaluation aspects. The findings revealed that the majority of students struggled to comprehend renewable energy concepts in the absence of visual media. Furthermore, 90% of students expressed a preference for learning materials incorporating images, videos, and animations. All teacher respondents emphasized the need for media that supports active and visual learning tailored to the developmental characteristics of elementary students. These findings underscore the urgent need to develop interactive infographic media based on discovery learning to enhance students’ conceptual understanding. Practically, the results serve as a foundation for designing learning tools that are engaging, age-appropriate, and capable of fostering independent exploration in science education at the elementary level.

Abstract

The limitations of visual learning media that are appropriate for the characteristics of elementary school students have an impact on the low level of understanding of abstract science material, such as renewable energy. In the context of the need for a learning approach that supports active engagement and visualization, this study aims to develop interactive infographic media based on Discovery Learning for renewable energy materials for sixth-grade elementary school students. This study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consists of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Validation was conducted by experts in media, language, and content, while practicality and effectiveness were tested through limited trials and field tests involving teachers and students at SD Negeri 1 Pagar Kaya. The results of the study indicate that the developed media meet the criteria for high validity (average >85%), high practicality (average >90%), and effectiveness (N-Gain = 0.72) in enhancing students' understanding. The interactive infographic media developed facilitates the discovery-based learning process in a visual and engaging manner, encouraging students to actively explore concepts related to renewable energy. This study confirms that the integration of interactive visual design and the Discovery Learning approach can be an effective strategy for developing digitally based science learning media at the elementary level.
