Abstract

This research aims to create educational comic media that facilitates the learning process of the Children^s Language and Literature course for students in the Publishing Study Program. The method used is Research and Development (R&D), with the objective of creating a specific product and testing its effectiveness. The development process is carried out through three main stages: (1) Preliminary study, (2) Product development, and (3) Product testing. This research is conducted at the Politeknik Negeri Media Kreatif in the Publishing Study Program. The campus is located at Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan VI No. 50, Makassar City. The subjects of this research are 21 Publishing students at Politeknik Negeri Media Kreatif PSDKU Makassar. The result of this research is an effective educational comic media that motivates students, preventing monotonous learning and enhancing their understanding of the Children^s Language and Literature course material. This is evidenced by the results of the pretest and posttest of reading comprehension using the comic media. The pretest results showed that students did not meet 85% of the minimum mastery criteria (KKM), while the posttest results indicated an improvement after the implementation of the comic media, with more than 85% of students scoring above the KKM, namely 74 and above.
