ABSTRACT : This research aims to determine the development steps, feasibility and effectivenessof learning
media for writing procedural texts for junior high school students. This research uses the Research and
Development (R&D) type of research which refers to the ADDIE model. The data collection instruments
for this research used questionnaires and test sheets. From the media experts' assessment results, an average
of 96.6% was obtained in the very good category, material experts' results were obtained on average 80% in
the Good category,and language experts obtained an average of 94% in the Very Good category. This means that
it can be linked as a learning media based on the Pixellab application and is suitable for use in learning. Judging
from the results of the trial in the small group, namely 10 students at the pre-test stage obtained a score of
588 and post-test 802 with a score of 0.51 in the quite decent category, while in the large group, namely 27
students at the pre-test stage obtained a score of 1,561 and pretest 2,220 with a score of 0.57 in the quite decent
category. So based onthe results of this comparison, the learning media based on the Pixellab application
forlessons on writing procedural texts is quite suitable for use as learning media in SMP.
KEYWORDS: Writing Procedure Texts, Pixellab Application, Learning Media.

I. INTRODUCTION
Media as a tool and material in the process of obtaining something. In accordancewith the opinion
of Sukiman (2012:29) learning media is anything that can be used to channel messages from the sender to the
recipient so as to stimulate students' thoughts, feelings, attention and interests as well as their will. Learning is a
communication process between learners, teachers, and teaching materials. Media is also an intermediary in the
learning process, in line with Criticos' opinion in Daryanto (2015:4) Learning media is currently an intermediary
tool in the learning process. Azhar (2011:15) states that the use of media in learning can generate new desires
and interests, generate motivation and stimulate learning activities, and even bring about psychological
influences on students.
The existence of learning media is very important because it can help students' learning process
Kuswanto and Radiansah (2018). Using media can increase student achievement and learning motivation.
Having learning media will make the learning process more interesting, for example in terms of appearance
combined with several images or animations. The attractiveness of physical appearance greatly influences the
learning process, the more attractive the media appearance, the more motivated students are to learn, thus
influencing student learning outcomes. Resiani, Agung, and Jampel (2015).
Learning media is divided into three forms, namely visual media or graphic models, audio or sound
recordings, and audio-visual or video. Media is not only a teaching tool but also a carrier of messages or
information that students need Miftah (2013). The use of learning media must be adjusted to the needs of
educators and students. Therefore, educators must sort and choose the types of learning media.

Talking about learning media, followed by developments in science and technology (IPTEK) in
Indonesia, encourages educators to be creative using various media. The existence of application-based learning
media is a response to technological developments, especially devices which are becoming more sophisticated
and smarter every day. Apart from that, creating application-based learning media is an effort to develop learning
media that willbe familiar to students' lives, including Android application-based learning media.
Applications in the Android system in general are a part of the design regarding operations related to Linux-
based mobile devices, where Android applications include the operating system, applications and middleware.
These three elements are closely related to smartphone use.

Application is the use or application of a concept that becomes a product of discussion. Applications
can also be interpreted as computer programs created to help humans carry out certain tasks Wicaksana and
Rachman (2018). Meanwhile, Lauren (2013) argues that Android applications provide an open platform for users
and developers to create various forms of applications that they want. This application can be in the form of
knowledge, games, education, religion, and so on. The development of Android applications in Indonesia makes
it easier for educators to create various application-based learning media, for example Ruang Guru, Canva,
Quipper, Pixellab in the research that the author will carry out, namely the development of learning media based
on the Pixellab application.
The PixelLab application is a photo editing, image editing and logo creation application that has quite
complete features and is easy to use for those of you who like to be creative in editing photos, editing images or
creating logos. This application is very easy to use with simple menu buttons, easy to understand. This PixelLab
application offers many benefits and image and photo editing features. And you can add some text, stickers,
shapes in this application, you can also experiment with images by adding effects, gradations, shadows,strokes to
the edges of the image.
The advantage of the Pixellab application is that it can be used to edit photos and images easily and
change the size of photos or images and create logos and other things which are quite good. This pixellab
application will be a medium for learning Indonesian for junior high school students, where the author has
carried out and used this application in class VII, the results of which make students interested and like the
learning media used as well asa medium for writing in an effort to attract students' interest in writing.
Therefore, in order to achieve good learning outcomes, the author applies theProject Based Learning
model, which is a learning model that uses projects or activities as media. Considering that each student has a
different learning style, project-based learning provides students with the opportunity to explore material using
various methods that are meaningful to them, and carry out experiments collaboratively. Project-based learning
is an in-depth investigation of a real-world topic, this will be valuable for students' attention and effort as well as
in Indonesian language learning activities.
Talking about Indonesian language lessons, this lesson is no less important than other subjects, this is
because it is through lessons. Indonesian language students can improve their ability to communicate effectively,
both verbally and in writing. One of the materials that is quite important in Indonesian language lessons is the
material for writing procedural texts. A procedure text is a text that presents activity steps or various stages to do
or produce something, so that through this material students are expected to be able to explain and write
something sequentially and systematically with the correct steps.
Based on initial observations made by the author on students in grade VII junior high school, it was
revealed that the lecture learning method in writing procedural texts still did not satisfy students in understanding
the material presented by the teacher. The use of this lecture method makes educators more active in class to
explain, while students become passive. Therefore, it is necessary to use learning media that are interesting and
interest students in following fun lessons. The author uses learning media based on the Pixellab application in
writing procedure texts as an effort to develop learning media that is interesting and of interest to students and
increases students' interest in writing.

II. RESEARCH METHODS

The type of development that the author uses in this research is Research and Development
development. Research and Development is research used to produce a particular product and test the
effectiveness of the product to be researched. The development method or Research and Development is a
development that is used to produce a certain product and can perfect a product that is made with the conditions
and criteria that are neededto produce quality products through various stages of testing Ernawati, (2017:33).

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
a. Results
The results of the research and discussion in this development research are described based on three things
according to the problem formulation, namely the steps for developing learning media for writing procedural
texts, the feasibility of learning media based on the Pixellab application and the effectiveness of learning media
based on the Pixellab application. The process of developing learning media based on the Pixellab application
is based on the ADDIE model which includes analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation
(ADDIE). The initial stage carried out in this research is analyzing initial needs before development is
carried out. This is done to obtain information related to the learning media that will be developed according to
what is needed by students. After carrying out the analysis stage, at this stage the author creates a design for the
learning media that will be developed. At this stage the author designs the development team, development
schedule and story board.
The next stage of development is this stage, the author creates learning media using the Pixellab application, then
the author validates it with media experts, material experts and language experts to see whether the learning
media developed is appropriate or not tested on students. The following are the validation results from media
experts, material experts and language experts.

Then the implementation stage, at this stage the author tests it on students using student response
questionnaires, pre-test sheets and posts. At this stage the author gave questionnaires to students to be evaluated
in small groups, namely 10 students at the pre-test stage who obtained a score of 588 and post-test 802 with a
score of 0.51 in the quite decent category, while in the large group there were 27 students at the pretest stage
obtained a score of 1,561 and the pretest 2,220 with a score of 0.57 in the quite adequate category. So based on
the comparison results, the learning media based on the Pixellab application for learning to write procedural
texts is quite suitable for use as learning media in junior high schools.

3.4 Discussion
The steps for developing learning media based on the Pixellab application are by analyzing,
designing, developing, implementing and evaluating. In the analysis process the author analyzes the initial needs,
characteristics of students and the learning environment, at the design stage the author designs the development
team, development schedule and determines the structure of the material to be developed in the story board.
The next stage of development, the author develops the learning media that the author has created, then the
author validates it with media experts, materials and language experts to see whether the learning media
developed is appropriate or not tested on students. At this stage, from media expert validation, the average is
obtained. an average of 96.6% in the Very Good category, material experts obtained an average of 80% in the
Good category, and language experts obtained an average of 94% in the Very Good category.
Then the implementation stage, at this stage the author tests it on students using student response questionnaires,
pre-test sheets and posts. At this stage the author gave questionnaires to students to be evaluated in small
groups, namely 10 students at the pre-test stage who obtained a score of 588 and post-test 802 with a score of
0.51 in the quite decent category, while in the large group there were 27 students at the pretest stage obtained a
score of 1,561 and the pretest 2,220 with a score of 0.57 in the quite adequate category. So based on the
comparison results, the learning media based on the Pixellab application for learning to write procedural texts
is quite suitable for use as learning media in junior high schools.

IV. CONCLUSION
Based on the objectives of this research, the results of developing learning media based on the
Pixellab application for learning to write procedure texts for junior high school students using the Pixellab
application are: First, first analyze the characteristics of thelearning media that will be developed, second, design
a development team, development schedule and determine the structure. material to be developed in the form of
a story board; third, develop learning media and then validate it with media experts, material experts and
language experts; fourth, testing learning products/media that have been developed with students; fifth, assessing
the quality of the learning media being developed. The level of feasibility of learning media based on the
Pixellab application can be seen from the assessment of the validation results of media experts, material experts
and language experts. From the assessment of media expert validation, an average of 96.6% was obtained in the
Very Good category, material experts' results were obtained on average 80% in the Good category, and language
experts obtained an average of 94% in the Very Good category.
Next, the author gave questionnaires to students to be evaluated in small groups, namely 10 students at the pre-
test stage, who got a score of 588 and post-test 802 with a score of 0.51 in the quite decent category, while in the
large group, namely 27 students at the pre-test stage. obtained a score of 1,561 and a pretest of 2,220 with a score
of 0.57 in the quite decent category. So based on the results of this comparison, the learning media based on the
Pixellab application for lessons on writing procedural texts is quite suitable for use as learning media in junior
high schools.
