Abstract

This study aims to determine whether pop-up book media is feasible to be used in problem-based learning; whether pop-up book media can be trusted for problem-based learning and whether pop-up book media in problem-based learning can improve reading comprehension skills of fourth grade students. The research used is research and development (R&D) by adapting the ADDIE research and development steps (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluating). The study was conducted at Salatiga State Elementary School with research subjects of 62 fourth grade students consisting of 35 males and 27 females. Data collection techniques with tests and non-tests. The research instruments are in the form of test items and questions. The results of this study prove 1) pop-up book media is feasible to be used in problem-based learning as indicated by validation in the trial of 0.4227; and in the field test of 0.4438; 2) pop-up book media can be trusted in problem-based learning as indicated by α = 0.838 ˃ 0.600, so the research instrument is very reliable. 3) pop-up book media in problem-based learning can improve the reading comprehension ability of grade IV elementary school students as indicated by the reading comprehension ability of grade IV students with a minimum score of 75, then the ability of students in the pre-cycle is 30%, cycle 1 is 65% and cycle 2 is 85% of all grade IV students.
