Abstract
The purpose of this research is to develop high school physics teaching materials in the form of comics. This research method is a research and development (R&D) method. The steps in this method are Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation-Evaluation (ADDIE). To obtain valid Physics comics (KOMIKA) teaching materials, a validation test was carried out using a validation questionnaire. This feasibility test was carried out by three validators consisting of 1 high school physics teacher, 2 lecturers, and 6 10th grade high school students. Comics are said to be valid and feasible to use because they meet the validity percentage, which is at a value of 61% - 100% (valid criteria and very valid). Based on the results of the feasibility test of the three validators, it was found that KOMIKA^s teaching materials were very valid and feasible to use with a percentage of 87.50%. Meanwhile, the validation results from six students showed that KOMIKA was a very valid teaching material with a validity percentage of 91.18%. The results of this validation indicate that KOMIKA is valid and suitable to be used as teaching materials for SMA 10 students. The advantage of KOMIKA teaching materials is that they are communicative and contain illustrative images so that they are easy to visualize. In addition, KOMIKA teaching materials can be used by students as independent study materials.
