Abstract

This study addresses the urgent need to improve science education, particularly in renewable energy, by developing and evaluating solar cell-based learning media. As sustainable practices and environmental awareness gain importance, equipping students with relevant knowledge and skills is essential. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of solar cell-based media in enhancing science learning and engagement, using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The study involved three experts and 60 undergraduate students: 33 from a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia, and 27 from a university in Mindanao, the Philippines. Experts in science and media, with 15-20 years of teaching experience, evaluated the media. Students, aged 17 to 25 years, with a gender ratio of 20% male and 80% female, participated. The Many-Facet Rasch Model analysis confirmed the media's reliability. Expert assessments aligned with the Rasch model's prescribed ranges, and inter-rater agreement was substantial. Results show the media's usability, deemed 'good' by experts, and positive student responses, suggesting its potential to enhance science learning and engagement. Further research is necessary for continuous improvement.
