Empowering Conceptual Mastery and Learning Autonomy through Canva-Assisted Problem-Based Learning Worksheets

Abstrak

The underlying problem addressed in this study is the low conceptual mastery and lack of learning autonomy among students in the learning process. This study aims to develop a Student Worksheet (LKPD) facilitated by Canva using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model to improve students' conceptual understanding and learning autonomy. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a simplified seven-step process, including needs analysis, product design, expert validation, revisions, field trials, final product revision, and dissemination. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires, learning outcome tests, learning autonomy questionnaires, and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. The product trial involved 21 elementary school students. The findings revealed that the Canva-assisted LKPD developed is valid and feasible for use, based on expert assessments. The N-Gain scores indicated a significant improvement in conceptual mastery with an average score of 0.76 and learning autonomy with an average score of 0.78, both categorized as high. Additionally, students' responses to the LKPD were overwhelmingly positive, with an effectiveness score of 95%. In conclusion, the Canva-assisted LKPD using the PBL model is proven to be effective in enhancing students' conceptual mastery and learning autonomy, making it a viable and innovative instructional medium for elementary education.
