GAME EDUKASI PENGENALAN HURUF AKSARA JAWA (Studi Kasus: Sekolah Dasar Negeri Lomanis 2 Cilacap Tengah)

This research is motivated by the importance of the ability to recognize Javanese script letters in children from an early age. The objects in this study were 25 children, consisting of 13 boys and 12 girls in grade 3 of SDN 2 Lomanis, Cilacap Tengah District. The ability of children in grade 3 of SDN 2 Lomanis to recognize the letters of Javanese script is still not optimal. Of the 25 students found only as many as 9 (36%) students who can understand Javanese script letters, while students who do not understand the Javanese alphabet letters as many as 16 (64%) students. This means that by the percentage of third grade students of SDN 2 Lomanis Cilacap Tengah there are more people who do not understand about the letters of Javanese script. This is because the learning process is still conventional, that is, only by writing and reading methods, so that students lack enthusiasm in the process of learning to recognize Javanese letters. The purpose of this study is to create an interesting and interactive Javanese alphabet letter recognition education game so that children's learning interest increases. Learning through educational game applications that will be built in this study is expected to fulfill these objectives. The application development method used is Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) which consists of six stages, namely prescribing, designing, gathering material, making, testing and distributing. The results of this study are a hijaiyah letter recognition game that has been evaluated with a questionnaire media and produces a percentage of 86.5% which is included in the category strongly agree that this educational game is worthy of use and distribution.
