Abstract

Limited availability of engaging and contextual learning media often limits students’ active participation and the development of collaborative skills in biology learning, particularly in environmental topics. This study aims to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of developing Kling-AI application-based learning media through the Socioscientific Issue (SSI) approach in supporting students’ collaborative skills. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE development model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects included media experts, subject matter experts, teachers, and students. Data were collected through expert validation, practicality questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive quantitative analysis. The results showed that the developed learning media achieved a high level of validity, with media expert validation reaching 86.50% and subject matter expert validation reaching 97.72%. The practicality of the media was categorized as very practical based on student responses (92.00%) and practical based on teacher responses (80.00%). The effectiveness of the media was indicated by an N-gain value of 0.33 in the moderate category and a collaborative skills mastery percentage of 86.36%, classified as highly effective. These findings indicate that the Kling-AI application-based learning media integrated with the SSI approach is valid, practical, and effective in supporting students’ collaborative skills.
