This study aims to identify and reconstruct the science concepts represented in the first season of Dr. Stone and examine their relevance to senior secondary school science learning. A descriptive qualitative approach using qualitative content analysis was employed to examine 24 episodes. Science-related scenes and activities were identified, analysed, and compared with established scientific principles before being mapped to Biology, Chemistry, and Physics topics. The findings reveal diverse science concepts, including biodiversity and organism classification, food preservation, microorganisms, antibiotics, environmental pollution, combustion, metal oxidation and corrosion, acid–base reactions, energy, simple machines, electricity and magnetism, and optics. The reconstruction process indicates that the anime presents contextual examples of scientific phenomena, although some representations involve simplification, dramatisation, or fictional elements that require critical examination. Selected scenes therefore have potential as contextual learning resources to stimulate discussion, scientific reasoning, and evaluation of scientific explanations. However, because this study focuses on content analysis, it does not establish the anime’s effectiveness in improving students’ conceptual understanding, motivation, or learning outcomes. Its use in science education should be accompanied by scientific verification and appropriate learning activities.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi dan merekonstruksi konsep-konsep sains yang direpresentasikan dalam anime Dr. Stone musim pertama serta menganalisis relevansinya terhadap pembelajaran IPA di SMA. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode analisis konten kualitatif terhadap 24 episode. Adegan dan aktivitas yang memuat konsep sains diidentifikasi, dianalisis, dan dibandingkan dengan prinsip-prinsip ilmiah yang relevan, kemudian dipetakan ke dalam materi Biologi, Kimia, dan Fisika. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan keberadaan beragam konsep sains, meliputi keanekaragaman hayati dan klasifikasi organisme, pengawetan pangan, mikroorganisme, antibiotik, pencemaran lingkungan, pembakaran, oksidasi dan korosi logam, reaksi asam-basa, energi, pesawat sederhana, listrik dan magnet, serta optik. Rekonstruksi menunjukkan bahwa anime ini menyajikan contoh fenomena sains yang kontekstual, tetapi beberapa representasinya mengandung penyederhanaan, dramatisasi, atau unsur fiksi yang perlu ditelaah secara kritis. Adegan terpilih berpotensi digunakan sebagai sumber belajar kontekstual untuk memantik diskusi, penalaran ilmiah, dan evaluasi penjelasan sains. Namun, penelitian ini belum membuktikan efektivitas anime terhadap pemahaman konsep, motivasi, atau hasil belajar siswa. Pemanfaatannya perlu disertai verifikasi ilmiah dan aktivitas pembelajaran yang sesuai.
