Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa yang disebabkan oleh kurangnya inovasi guru dalam penggunaan media pembelajaran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran komik digital, serta menguji kelayakan dan efektivitasnya terhadap siswa kelas IV di SDN Cijoho. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian pengembangan atau Research and Development (R&D) dengan mengacu pada model pengembangan ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Uji kelayakan produk dilakukan oleh tiga validator yaitu ahli media, ahli materi, dan ahli bahasa. Subjek uji coba produk terdiri dari 3 orang guru kelas IV dan 6 orang siswa kelas IV SDN Cijoho. Uji efektivitas dilakukan dengan metode quasi eksperimen menggunakan desain non-equivalent control group design. Instrumen pengumpulan data meliputi pedoman wawancara, angket penilaian produk oleh validator ahli, lembar observasi siswa, angket penilaian produk oleh guru, lembar tes, serta angket tanggapan siswa. Teknik analisis data untuk kelayakan produk menggunakan skala penilaian (rating scale), sedangkan untuk efektivitas produk digunakan uji-t (independent sample t-test). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media pembelajaran komik digital dinyatakan “sangat layak” digunakan dengan persentase skor kelayakan sebesar 87%. Selain itu, media ini juga terbukti “efektif” dalam meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa, ditunjukkan oleh hasil uji-t dengan nilai thitung (2,60) > ttabel (2,02). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa media pembelajaran komik digital yang dikembangkan sangat layak dan efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa kelas IV.

This research was motivated by the low reading comprehension skills of students, which are caused by the lack of innovation in the use of learning media by teachers. The aim of this study is to develop digital comic learning media and to test its feasibility and effectiveness for fourth-grade students at SDN Cijoho. This study is a type of Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Product feasibility testing was carried out by three validators: a media expert, a content expert, and a language expert. The product trial subjects consisted of 3 fourth-grade teachers and 6 fourth-grade students from SDN Cijoho with varying cognitive abilities. The effectiveness test was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. Data collection instruments included interview guidelines, product assessment questionnaires by expert validators, student observation sheets, product assessment questionnaires by teachers, test sheets, and student response questionnaires. The data analysis technique for product feasibility used a rating scale, while the effectiveness analysis used an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the digital comic learning media was declared "very feasible" to use, with a feasibility score percentage of 87%. In addition, the media was also proven to be "effective" in improving students’ reading comprehension skills, as indicated by the t-test result of t-count (2.60) > t-table (2.02). Thus, it can be concluded that the developed digital comic learning media is highly feasible and effective in enhancing the reading comprehension skills of fourth-grade students.
