The research focused on developing a Contextualized Comic Learning Materials in Earth and Life Science as a means to enhance student learning and improve teaching delivery. The study follows the Research and Development (R&D) model by Gay (1990) and consists of five stages: literature study, planning, development and validation of the prototype, revising prototype empirical test, and dissemination and implementation.
The findings of the study demonstrate that teachers strongly agree with the clarity of expression and explanations, relevance to real-life situations, statements of desired learning outcomes, and organization of the content of the contextualized comic learning material. Additionally, student respondents have positive responses towards the visual appeal and content of the material.
This research suggests that Contextualized Comic Learning Materials in Earth and Life Science can be implemented as innovative learning materials to supplement Science instruction. However, further research is needed to fully understand the impact of contextualized comic material when used as a supplementary material.
