DEVELOPMENT OF INSTAGRAM-BASED LEARNING MEDIA AS AN ALTERNATIVE SCIENCE LEARNING RESOURCE TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES IN VIII GRADES JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

The use of learning media in science learning tends to be monotonous, so alternative medla are needed to support learning. [n addition, science learning requires visual based media in order to explain various abstract concepts. explain various abstract concepts in it One of the visual-based platforms. The platform that is mdely used by students is Instagram, but this platform is still not optimized for learning Natural Science. The platform is still not optimized for science learning. Therefore, this study aims to develop and determine the feasibility of Instagram-assisted learning media as an alternative learning resource for science on the concept of the Excretion systetn in Class •vTI SNIP_ The research method used In this research, the Research and Development (R&D) model ADDIE (analyze, desigw develop, and analyze) IS used. Development (R&D) model ADDIE (analyze, design: develop, implernent, and evaluate). The results of this study were: (1) The feasibility score of leammg media products based on a material validation test of 82.62% (very feasible), media validation of 89.04% (very feasible), and language validation of 80% (feasible). Meanwhile, based on the implementation stage m thesmall-scale trial: the final media score was 86.4% (very feasl%le), and the score from the teacher was (very feasible), a score from the Biology teacher of 84.4% (very feasible), and a score on the large-scale trial of 80% (feast%le)_ large-scale trial of 80% (feasible); (2) It was concluded that the media product Learning mediaproducts assisted by Instagram are declared feasible for use as an alternative.
