Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemanfaatan media Canva dalam pembelajaran serta menganalisis pengaruhnya terhadap peningkatan pemahaman Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) pada siswa sekolah rawan bencana di SMPN 2 Kuala Batee, Kabupaten Aceh Barat Daya. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada rendahnya pemahaman siswa terhadap konsep pengurangan risiko bencana serta masih terbatasnya penggunaan media pembelajaran yang inovatif, dimana proses pembelajaran masih didominasi metode konvensional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experimental design) menggunakan desain nonequivalent control group design. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 60 siswa yang dibagi ke dalam 30 siswa kelas eksperimen dan 30 siswa kelas kontrol. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes berupa pretest dan posttest. Analisis data dilakukan melalui uji validitas, reliabilitas, normalitas, homogenitas, uji N-Gain, dan uji hipotesis menggunakan uji t (independent sample t-test). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh instrumen dinyatakan valid dengan nilai signifikansi < 0,05 dan reliabel dengan nilai Cronbach’s Alpha sebesar 0,852 (kategori sangat reliabel). Hasil uji normalitas dan homogenitas menunjukkan bahwa data berdistribusi normal dan homogen. Nilai rata-rata N-Gain pada kelas eksperimen sebesar 64,38% (kategori sedang menuju tinggi), sedangkan kelas kontrol sebesar 47,02% (kategori sedang). Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,001 (p < 0,05), sehingga Ha diterima yang berarti terdapat pengaruh positif dan signifikan penggunaan media canva terhadap peningkatan pemahaman DRR siswa. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemanfaatan media canva dalam pembelajaran Disaster Risk Reduction lebih efektif dibandingkan metode konvensional, serta mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar, motivasi, dan pemahaman siswa terhadap mitigasi bencana. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi referensi dalam pengembangan media pembelajaran berbasis digital untuk meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan bencana di lingkungan pendidikan.

ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the utilization of Canva as a learning medium and analyze its effect on improving students’ understanding of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in disaster-prone schools at SMPN 2 Kuala Batee, Southwest Aceh Regency. The background of this study is based on the low level of students’ understanding of Disaster Risk Reduction concepts and the limited use of innovative learning media, where the learning process is still dominated by conventional methods. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent control group design. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students, with a sample of 60 students divided into 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. Data collection techniques used tests in the form of pretests and posttests. Data analysis was conducted through validity, reliability, normality, and homogeneity tests, N-Gain analysis, and hypothesis testing using the independent sample t-test. The results showed that all instruments were valid with a significance value of < 0.05 and reliable with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.852 (very reliable category). The results of normality and homogeneity tests indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The average N-Gain score in the experimental class was 64.38% (moderate to high category), while in the control class it was 47.02% (moderate category). The hypothesis test results showed a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating that Ha was accepted, meaning there is a positive and significant effect of using Canva media on improving students’ DRR understanding. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of Canva as a learning medium in Disaster Risk Reduction is more effective than conventional methods and is able to improve learning outcomes, motivation, and students’ understanding of disaster mitigation. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing digital-based learning media to enhance disaster preparedness in educational environments.
