DEVELOPMENT OF IPAS WORKSHEET BASED ON UNPLUGGED CODING FOR SECOND GRADE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

IPAS is an essential subject for elementary school students. The teaching of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) at the elementary level plays a crucial role in instilling fundamental concepts of environmental awareness among learners. Environmental cleanliness is a primary focus to ensure students understand the importance of maintaining a clean environment for collective health and well-being. However, in practice, students often struggle to apply these concepts because instruction has predominantly relied on government-provided teaching materials without incorporating innovative approaches aligned with current technological developments. Additionally, the limited availability of facilities and infrastructure in elementary schools serves as a further obstacle. This study aims to develop an IPAS worksheet based on unplugged coding for second-grade elementary students in Tulungagung Regency that is both valid and practical. The research adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The results indicate that the validity score from material and media experts reached 93%, classified as "Highly Valid." Practicality, based on feedback from students and teachers during small- and large-scale trials, achieved 94%, categorized as "Highly Practical." Therefore, the IPAS worksheet integrating unplugged coding is valid, practical, engaging, and suitable for classroom learning activities, with the potential for further development to meet educational needs.
