Abstract

This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach aimed at developing and evaluating the feasibility of a multimodal-based Quiet Book as a learning medium for numeracy instruction on money recognition for third-grade elementary school students. The study was motivated by the fact that numeracy learning is still predominantly conducted using conventional methods, with limited use of concrete learning media, and has not optimally enhanced students’ interest and active engagement in learning. The development model used in this study was ADDIE, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The analysis stage focused on identifying learning needs, student characteristics, and instructional materials. The design stage involved planning the Quiet Book media by integrating visual, kinesthetic, and digital elements through the use of QR codes. The development stage consisted of producing the media and conducting validations by media experts and subject-matter experts. The implementation stage was carried out through small-group and large-group trials, while the evaluation stage was conducted formatively based on the results of expert validation and field trials. The results of the study indicated that the multimodal-based Quiet Book was classified as highly feasible, with validation scores of 90% from media experts and 94% from material experts. In addition, student responses reached 97% and teacher responses reached 90%, both categorized as highly feasible. Therefore, the multimodal-based Quiet Book is considered valid, practical, and suitable for use as a numeracy learning medium on money recognition in elementary schools.
