Developing Scientific Approach Based Learning Module in Plantae Concept

Abstract

This study is a research and development (R&D) which refers to 4-D development model. The objective of this study is to produce a valid, practical, and effective scientific approach-based learning module in Plantae concept. The study employed descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative approaches. The material experts validated the prototype 1. The prototype 11 was tested by using the experiment design of pretest and posttest only to examine the practicality level and effectiveness of Biology learning module developed at SMAN 2 Sengkang in class X MIA 1 of academic year 2015/2016. The result of the study revealed that the scientific approach based learning module was confirmed as valid. The practical level valued from the implementation of learning which used scientific approach-based learning module was in the high category. The effectiveness of module valued from the teacher's ability in managing the learning was in a proper category, the result of students' response was 94.61% which had the good response and students' learning result improved from 35.65 to 84.35 with completeness percentage by 94.11%. Thus, the conclusion of the study was the scientific approach-based learning module developed in Plantae concept was valid, practical, and effective to be used in Biology lesson.
