Perancangan Game Edukasi Matematika Berbasis Mobile Untuk Anak TK B Menggunakan Unity Dengan Pendekatan Petualangan

Abstract

The development of information technology has encouraged the use of digital media in education. However, basic mathematics learning in Indonesia still faces various challenges, particularly children's limited understanding of basic arithmetic operations and the use of conventional teaching methods that are less effective in attracting children's interest in learning. These conditions highlight the need for more interactive learning media that are suited to the characteristics of early childhood learners. This study aims to design and implement Matric Adventure, a mobile-based educational game developed using the Unity Engine and the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method, which consists of six stages: concept, design, material collecting, assembly, testing, and distribution. Application testing was conducted using White Box Testing and Black Box Testing, while evaluation was carried out through a questionnaire distributed to 40 respondents, consisting of 10 teachers and 30 Kindergarten B children. The results showed that all application features functioned according to user requirements. The questionnaire evaluation yielded 388 “Yes” responses

(97%) and 12 “No” responses (3%). The predominance of positive responses indicates favorable feedback from respondents regarding Matric Adventure as an interactive and engaging medium for teaching basic mathematics to young children. Therefore, Matric Adventure can serve as an alternative mobile-based learning medium that supports the presentation of basic arithmetic operations through adventure gameplay.
