DEVELOPMENT OF INVESTIGATION-BASED LEARNING TOOLS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' INFORMATION VERIFICATION CAPABILITIES
Abstract
with the rapid flow of digital information. This research aims to develop a learning tool based on
Investigation Based Learning (IBL) and test its effectiveness in improving students' information
verification skills. The research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE
model which includes the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages.
The research subjects consist of 78 students of the Communication Studies Study Program, State
University of Malang, class of 2024, divided into two classes. The research instruments include
expert validation sheets, information verification ability tests, and student response questionnaires.
The validation results showed that the device obtained a very worthy category from media experts
and material experts. The results of the implementation showed an increase in the ability to verify
student information based on the comparison of pre-test and post-test scores. The N-Gain analysis
yielded an average value of 0.57 which belongs to the medium category. Student response to
learning tools obtained a percentage of 87.25% with the very good category. The findings of the
study show that Investigation Based Learning-based learning tools are valid, practical, and effective
in improving students' information verification skills.
