This research aims to identify traditional games and the characteristics of third
grade elementary school students, as well as to develop packages and learning strategies that are appropriate for third grade elementary school students in the disaster-prone area in West Java Province. This study employed research and development as the research design by using third grade students and teachers in elementary school Puncak Manis as well as the community of district Kadudampit, Sukabumi in West Java as the samples. Interviews and observation were used as data collection techniques. The results showed that almost all students are not familiar with the games, but there are some traditional games that are still known by the community of district Kadudampit such as Oray-orayan, Cing Ciripit, Pacici Putri, Sonda and Egrang. The characteristics of elementary school students in the area of disaster-prone are generally passive, dependent on teachers and less creative. Learning packages in a form of printed or picture books and videos that are appropriate for the third grade elementary school students in disaster-prone areas were delivered through traditional games as the strategy. The try out results showed an increase in students’ understanding of science teaching materials especially for the topics of “flood†that is 0.58 and for “earthquake†that is 0.76. This suggests that the use of the learning package in the form of booklets and books students on material related to disaster mitigation and sanitation floods and earthquakes which are delivered through traditional games (like Oray-orayan, Ciripit and Cing Pacici-cici Putri) assisted students in understanding the material about mitigation and sanitation related floods and earthquakes.

 

ABSTRAK

 

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi permainan tradisional, karakteristik, dan mengembangkan ujicoba paket dan strategi pembelajaran kelas 3 SD di wilayah rawan bencana di Propinsi Jawa Barat. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas siswa dan guru kelas 3 di SDN Puncak Manis dan Pemuka masyarakat di Kecamatan Kedungpi, Kabupaten Sukabumi Jawa Barat. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan wawancara dan observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hampir semua siswa tidak mengenal permainan tradisional di wilayahnya, namun terdapat beberapa permainan tradisional yang masih dikenal oleh masyarakat di Kecamatan Kadudampit, di antaranya Oray-orayan, Cing Ciripit, Pacici Putri, Sonda dan Egrang. Karakterisitik siswa SD di daerah rawan bencana umumnya pasif dan kurang kreatif, bergantung  pada  guru. Paket pembelajaran yang sesuai siswa kelas 3 SD di wilayah  rawan bencana berupa bahan ajar cetak, buku bergambar, dan video. Hasil ujicoba menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman siswa terhadap materi pembelajaran IPA untuk materi banjir sebesar 0,58 dan untuk  materi gempa bumi sebesar 0,76. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan paket pembelajaran yang berupa booklet  dan buku siswa tentang materi mitigasi dan sanitasi terkait dengan bencana banjir dan gempa bumi yang disampaikan  melalui  permainan  tradisional membantu siswa dalam memahami materi tersebut.
