Abstract

In the Merdeka Curriculum, students are required to explore knowledge and skills from their own experiences. So far, teachers have been using picture, video, and PowerPoint media. Students' understanding of biodiversity is lacking because they do not have direct experience in classifying plants. Therefore, it is necessary to develop plant bioplastic media equipped with QR codes as an effort to improve students' understanding. The purpose of this research is to analyze the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of plant bioplastic learning media equipped with QR codes. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research was conducted at SMA N 1 Bawang in the Academic Year 2023/2024. The research design used during the implementation phase was the Non-Equivalent Pretest Posttest Control Group Design. The validity of the media and materials was determined using validation questionnaires. The practicality of the media was determined based on teacher and student response questionnaires. The effectiveness of the media was determined based on student test results and student worksheets. Validity and practicality were analyzed descriptively, while effectiveness was analyzed quantitatively. The results of the validator assessment stated that the plant bioplastic media was highly valid. Teachers found the media to be very practical, and all students rated the media as practical or very practical. The Mann-Whitney test revealed that the learning outcomes of the experimental class were significantly higher than those of the control class. The number of students with medium and high N-gain in the experimental class was greater than that in the control class, namely 59% > 39%. Plant bioplastic media equipped with QR codes is valid, practical, and effective in improving students' understanding of biodiversity.

Abstract

The problem of low learning motivation affects student learning outcomes. This is still found in biology learning about biodiversity material in various schools, including SMA N 12 Semarang. These problems can be anticipated by implementing appropriate learning models and applying science and technology to learning. The development of Android-based learning media in project-based learning (PjBL) was chosen as an alternative problem solving. This research aims to produce Android-based learning media for biodiversity material in the application of a project-based learning model to increase student motivation and learning outcomes which is declared effective and valid for increasing student motivation and learning outcomes, as well as knowing student responses to this media. This type of research is Research and Development (R&D) with reference to the ADDIE model. Sampling in this study used a purposive random sampling technique using 2 classes as the experimental and control classes. Data collection was carried out through interviews, questionnaires, test and non-test instruments. Data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively and independently sample t-test or Mann Whitney, and N-Gain. The research results showed that the Android-based learning media developed was declared very valid and suitable for use based on the assessment of expert lecturers and teachers. Learning media was stated to be effective in increasing students' motivation and knowledge learning outcomes with moderate N-Gain, and improving students' skills, but was not effective in increasing attitude scores. The results of students' responses to the practicality of the media include quite practical criteria.
