Abstract

Science literacy is an important aspect of science learning, yet students continue to face challenges in developing this competency. This condition is reflected in the initial science literacy test results of seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Klangenan, Cirebon Regency, which showed an average score of 59.1, with a mastery rate of only 28.5%, below the minimum mastery criterion of 70. One effort to address this issue is to develop teaching materials that integrate problem-based learning with engaging and contextual visual media. This study aimed to develop and examine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a Problem Based Learning (PBL) science module integrated with an educational comic on the rain cycle theme to improve the science literacy of seventh-grade students. The study employed a mixed-methods approach using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. The educational comic was developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence technology and Canva. The results showed that the developed module was highly valid, with an average validity score of 90.5%, and highly practical, with 91.3% positive student responses. The module was also effective in improving science literacy, as indicated by an N-Gain of 0.64 in the experimental class, higher than 0.36 in the control class. The difference in science literacy improvement was statistically significant based on the Mann-Whitney U test (p = 0.002), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.94). The highest improvement occurred in the indicator of identifying scientific issues, with an N-Gain of 0.69. Thus, the AI-assisted, comic-integrated PBL module is a valid, practical, and effective science teaching material for improving junior high school students’ science literacy. ABSTRAK Kemampuan literasi sains peserta didik merupakan salah satu aspek penting dalam pembelajaran IPA, tetapi masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan. Kondisi tersebut tercermin dari hasil tes awal literasi sains peserta didik kelas VII SMPN 1 Klangenan, Kabupaten Cirebon, yang menunjukkan rata-rata nilai 59,1 dengan ketuntasan belajar sebesar 28,5%, masih di bawah KKM 70. Salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut adalah mengembangkan bahan ajar yang mampu mengintegrasikan pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan media visual yang menarik dan kontekstual. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan, menguji kevalidan, kepraktisan, dan keefektifan modul pembelajaran IPA berbasis Problem Based Learning (PBL) yang diintegrasikan dengan komik edukatif bertema siklus hujan untuk meningkatkan literasi sains peserta didik kelas VII. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan model pengembangan ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Komik edukatif dikembangkan dengan bantuan teknologi kecerdasan buatan dan Canva. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa modul yang dikembangkan sangat valid dengan rata-rata kevalidan 90,5% dan sangat praktis dengan respons positif peserta didik sebesar 91,3%. Modul juga terbukti efektif meningkatkan literasi sains, ditunjukkan oleh N-Gain kelas eksperimen sebesar 0,64, lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol sebesar 0,36. Perbedaan peningkatan literasi sains kedua kelas signifikan berdasarkan uji Mann-Whitney U (p = 0,002) dengan effect size besar (Cohen’s d = 0,94). Peningkatan tertinggi terjadi pada indikator mengidentifikasi isu ilmiah dengan N-Gain sebesar 0,69. Dengan demikian, modul PBL terintegrasi komik berbasis AI merupakan bahan ajar IPA yang valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk meningkatkan literasi sains peserta didik SMP.
