Abstract
This study aims to (1) determine the development of ethnoscience-based comic media on scientific literacy skills in junior high schools in Kabangka District, and (2) determine the level of students' scientific literacy skills after using ethnoscience-based E-Comic media. This study is development research, or Research and Development (R&D), using the ADDIE development model, which is carried out in only 4 stages: analysis, design, development, and implementation. The population in this study comprised students in class VIII at SMPN Satu Atap 1 Kabangka and SMPN 1 Kabangka. The developed ethnoscience-based E-Comic media was measured for its validity and effectiveness to determine its feasibility. The instruments used were questionnaires and tests of scientific literacy. The results of the study are (1) the development of ethnoscience-based e-comics based on expert validation results is in the very feasible category, with a value of 89.50%, with user responses at SMPN Satu Atap 1 Kabangka of 86% strongly agree, and at SMPN 1 Kabangka of 84.13% strongly agree. (2) The scientific literacy skills of class VIII of SMPN Satu Atap 1 Kabangka experienced an increase with an average post-test score of 79.75, with an N-Gain value of 0.64 and was in the moderate category. Meanwhile, the scientific literacy skills of class VIII at SMPN 1 Kabangka also increased, as indicated by an average post-test score of 80.22, an N-Gain value of 0.66, and a moderate category.
