The effectiveness of flipbook-based interactive teaching materials to increase interest in learning and the mutual cooperation character of students in elementary schools

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of interactive teaching materials based on flipbooks on the learning interest and mutual cooperation character of elementary school students. The research used a development research method with four steps in developing the interactive teaching material based on the flipbook: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The subjects for the development trial were six elementary schools in Surabaya. Data sources included primary and secondary data, with primary data collected through needs analysis surveys, expert validation response questionnaires, teacher response questionnaires, and student response questionnaires. The data collection technique used was questionnaires, and the research instrument was validated by experts. The data analysis technique involved descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. The study found that the development of flipbook-based teaching materials in the Pancasila Education subject effectively increased the learning interest and mutual cooperation character of elementary school students, with a significant value of 0.000. It is recommended that teachers adopt flipbook-based teaching materials as a means of integrating technology into learning. Students are encouraged to use the interactive features in flipbooks to explore learning material independently. Other researchers are encouraged to explore further which interactive features can increase interest in learning and the mutual cooperation character of students in flipbook-based teaching materials.
