Background: Interesting educational media such as pop-up books can help adolescents understand puberty in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Three-dimensional visualizations in pop-up books make information more interesting and less boring. Objectives: This study aimed to to determine the effect of education using pop-up books on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls towards puberty. Method: This study was a quantitative analytical study with a quasi-experimental approach involving an intervention group and a control group. The population for this study was early adolescents aged 10-13 years at SDN Salamnunggal 1 Elementary School in Leles Subdistrict, Garut Regency. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with 35 participants in the intervention group and 35 participants in the control group. Results: Data analysis techniques included univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using the Paired T-test. The results of the study indicate a significant effect on adolescents knowledge and attitudes before and after receiving education, with a p-value <0.005. Conclusion: This concludes that there is an effect of education using pop-up books about puberty on the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent girls. Based on the research results, it is recommended to start integrating material about puberty and reproductive health into teaching and learning activities. The use of engaging educational media such as pop-up books can be an effective means of conveying this material in an interactive manner.References
