The lack of engaging learning materials in dance education has resulted in fourth-grade students' motor skills not developing optimally, resulting in reduced activity, and easily bored during learning. This study aims to develop, test the feasibility, and effectiveness of RUBETA flipbook in introducing dance through fables to fourth-grade students. This study utilized the Research and Development (R&D) approach, applying the ADDIE model. Data collection involved both non-test methods like interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, and test methods such as pretests and posttests. Qualitative data analysis using qualitative descriptive analysis, while quantitative data analysis using SPSS to test for normality, paired-sample t-test, and N-Gain test. The results indicate that RUBETA was developed in Canva and is available on Heyzine. This media contains main menus with images, videos, backgrounds, and audio, making it engaging for students. The validation result by subject matter experts is 93%, and by media experts is 96%, both categorized as "highly suitable", indicating that RUBETA is suitable for learning. Furthermore, the study found that RUBETA is effective for use in learning. This conclusion is drawn from the normality test results, which indicated that both the pretest and posttest data follow a normal distribution. The paired-sample t-test result is 0.001, which is less than 0.05, confirming a significant effect. Additionally, the N-Gain test results for the small-group trial was 0.7355 and for the large-group trial was 0,7201, both categorized as "very high". Thus, RUBETA is suitable and effective as a learning media in fourth-grade elementary school dance education.References
