THE EFFECT OF ANIMATED VIDEOS ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN IN IMPROVING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT EARTHQUAKE DISASTERS

Abstract

Manokwari Regency is an area prone to earthquakes, this is influenced by its location on the Pacific tectonic plate fault. In an effort to minimize the impact that occurs, providing earthquake disaster mitigation needs to be provided starting from elementary school to increase awareness among students. There is one media that can be used in its implementation, namely animated videos. This study aims to determine the extent of the effect of providing simulations using animated videos on the level of knowledge, using a quantitative approach with an experimental design in the form of Paired Sample T-Test testing using measuring instruments, namely Pre-Test and Post-Test questionnaires. During the implementation, the questionnaire was distributed to respondents who were students of grades 5 A and B at SDN 02 Amban. In data processing, it was found that the questionnaire results were not normally distributed, so the Wilcoxon test was used as a benchmark. From the test results, a significant value of 0.000 was obtained. When referring to decision making, if the significant value <0.05 then the hypothesis can be accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that in this study there was an increase before and after treatment using animated video media.
