Abstract

Science learning can be implemented with various approaches, strategies, models and learning methods. This implementation varies from each educational institution and even in each country. One of the secondary schools in Nepal is Vaishnabi Secondary School (VSS). This school is a public school that accommodates students at the level of kindergarten, primary education (grades 1-5), and secondary education (grades 6-10). This study aims to describe the interaction variables and their constraints in teaching science class at VSS. In this study, three interaction variables were observed, namely the sign variable (teacher), the context variable (students & schools), and the process variable (teacher-student interaction). The method used is a qualitative descriptive research method with a case study research design. Observations were carried out in science learning activities in grades 8, 9, and 10. Data collection used four data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documents. After the data is collected, a technical triangulation process is carried out to collect data as well as to test the credibility of the data. The results of the research on the sign variable indicate that VSS has 8th, 9th, and 10th grade science teachers who are already competent in education and experience. The teacher's ability to use English is quite good. The context variable shows that student attendance and students' opportunities to study at home are constrained by the economic background of their parents who are less well off, forcing students to help their parents earn money. In addition, there is no science laboratory and supporting equipment for experimental activities. The process variable shows that the teacher has made plans for science learning in personal notes and the teacher is still teaching with the lecture method in one direction, namely from teacher to student which causes students to be passive in learning. The problem of teaching science in VSS lies in two interaction variables, namely the context variable and the process variable. The context variable is about the economic condition of students and school facilities. The economic conditions of students affect school attendance as well as student learning opportunities at home. School facilities have an impact on the absence of practical activities that will reduce the experience and abilities of students. The process variable is constrained by the teacher's teaching method. The lecture teaching method does not support 21st century education because today's education demands student activity in the learning process.

Abstract

Learning media is a vehicle for distributing messages and learning information which, if designed properly, will greatly help students achieve learning goals. The results of first observations made on students of SMA N 1 Boja, data obtained that only 50% of students remember virus content during X class, and there are more than 90% of students who have and bring Android smartphones to school which should be used for learning. While the results of interviews with biology teachers at SMA N 1 Boja class X, the difficulties in teaching virus content are the absence of teaching aids, content that tends to be abstract and students who tend to memorize rather than understand. Viruses are a content that is difficult to observe because of its form that cannot be seen with the naked eye because of its very small size. Mobile learning media is an innovation of learning media based on Android and information technology (IT) that can be used without the need for an internet connection and can be used anytime and anywhere to learn. Starting from the problem of abstract virus content and its small size so it cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the media used by the teacher is only power point, as well as the potential of students who already have and bring Android smartphones to school but have not been used optimally in learning, it is necessary to develop an android-based learning media, namely mobile learning. Sampling using random sampling technique. In this study using the Pre Experimental Design method with One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design with a sample of class X MIA students at SMA N 1 Boja. The instruments used are: interviews, questionnaires and documentation. Validation was carried out by a biology lecturer at Unnes and a biology teacher at SMA N 1 Boja with a score of >81% (very valid). A small-scale trial was conducted in class XI MIPA 1 with results >91% (effective), while the student and teacher questionnaire responses reached a score of >81%. A large-scale trial was carried out for class X MIPA 4 by conducting a pretest and posttest with classical completeness results >75% (effective). Thus the learning media for mobile learning virus content developed is feasible and effective to be used as a learning resource.

Abstract

The 2013 curriculum requires students to understand various subject matter actively and independently. One of the materials that make it difficult for students to learn is the mushroom material. For this reason, it is necessary to apply a discovery learning model to mushroom material. In addition, the process of learning biology at SMA N 1 Kebumen has not yet utilized technology optimally. The LKPD used is still in printed form and is sourced from textbooks only. So we need an interactive electronic LKPD with varied learning resources. The purpose of this study was to analyze the validity and effectiveness of interactive teaching materials. The research method, namely Research and Development, uses steps to a small scale. The subjects in this study were 15 students taken using the "purposive sampling" technique for class X MIPA D with a ratio of 5:5:5 including students with high:medium:low abilities. The results showed that the validity of the mushroom interactive teaching materials was valid based on the average material validator score of 72.3% and the media validator average of 96.66% the criteria were very valid. Mushroom interactive teaching materials were effectively applied by obtaining a classical completeness score of 93.33% and an average N-gain value of criteria. Teacher responses obtained an average score of 96.66% very positive criteria and student responses obtained an average score of 90.58% very positive criteria. The conclusion of this study is that interactive teaching materials are valid and effective to be used as teaching materials for class X SMA students.

Abstract

The use of printed teaching materials in schools is less attractive to students and students' interest and motivation to learn is relatively below average, hence, the basic competencies set have not been achieved. Advances in science and technology can be used to procure more varied teaching materials such as E-modules. The purpose of this study is to analyze the feasibility, practicality and effectiveness of E-modules in the learning process. The research design used is development (R&D) using the ADDIE model with the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Eligibility of the E-module is determined based on the validation of material experts and media experts. The practicality of the E-module is determined based on student responses and teacher responses. The effectiveness of the E-module is determined based on the interest and motivation of students to learn. The results showed that the material expert validation value was 87% (very feasible) and the media expert validation value was 93% (very feasible). The results of the practicality of the E-module are that the teacher thinks it is very practical, on the small scale test all students think it is practical, on the large scale test 49% of students think it is very practical and 51% of students think it is practical. The results of the effectiveness of the e-module on a small scale test are 40% of students think it is very effective and 60% of students think it is effective, on a large scale test 66% of students think it is very effective and 34% of students think it is effective. Conclusion, E-module structure and function of plant tissue based on discovery learning is feasible, practical, and effective to be used as a learning medium.
