Abstract
Students' understanding of abstract concepts such as the life cycle of living beings often poses a challenge at the elementary level, especially in Grade III. Learning processes that rely heavily on textbooks and verbal explanations tend to be less engaging and difficult for students to grasp. This study aims to determine the effect of pop-up book media on third-grade elementary students' understanding of the life cycle material. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), involving three stages of trials: one-to-one, small group, and field test, with a total of 22 students at Public Elementary School 81 Palembang. Validation was conducted by media experts, material experts, and education practitioners. The validation results indicated that the pop-up book media was highly feasible, with an average score above 82%. Meanwhile, the trial results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding, with average scores reaching 93.3% in the one-to-one and small group stages, and 89.2% in the field test. In conclusion, the pop-up book media is effective in enhancing students' understanding of the life cycle concept and is suitable for use as an engaging and interactive learning tool.
