The average results of the media expert validator's assessment obtained a percentage of 89% in the very feasible category, and the average evaluation of the material expert validator received a rate of 89.5% in the very doable category. Furthermore, in small group trials on children, an average rating of 90.6% was in the possible class and small group trials on teachers obtained an average rating of 95%. Then field trials on children received an average rating of 94% with a very feasible category, and field trials on teachers received an average rating of 97.8% with a very conceivable type.
