Abstract
This study aims to discuss the implementation of chordophone enrichment book as one of the essential factor to create meaningful learning for students. An Enrichment book called Chordophone Enrichment Book was developed to comprehend sound and waves unit in physics materials for junior and high school students. In this study, the instructional design is based on the principal of meaningful learning. With a quasi-experiment Pre-Test and Post-Test Control research design, a meaningful learning scale research instruments, and a valid meaningful learning questionnaires, this study is utilized. The research findings show that the students in the experimental group apparently had a higher learning achievement than the students in the control group, with notable differences. Through pre-test and post-test, the values obtained in the control class are 47.02 and 62.34 with a gain value is 0.29 (low improvement). While the value of pre-test and post-test in the experimental class are 46.88 and 71.79, with gain value obtained for 0.47 (medium improvement). Through the questionnaire, students in the experimental group highly regarded that their learning is meaningful with an average percentage score of 84.75%. These research outcomes hopefully can be used by teachers and educators for designing materials and provide educators with a reference for implementing enrichment book as a meaningful media material design.
