Development of guided inquiry-oriented e-worksheets to improve students' science process skills in acid-base material

Abstract

This study aims to describe the feasibility of guided inquiry-oriented E-worksheets to improve students' science process skills on acid-base material. The research method is Research and Development (R&D), using the 4D development model, which is limited to the development stage and limited trials on 38 eleventh grades at Al-Islam Krian senior high school. The results showed the feasibility of E-worksheets as follows : (1) The validity of E-worksheets based on the criteria of content, presentation, language, and graphics, obtained the mode in E-worksheets 1 and E-worksheets 2, respectively: content criteria 5 and 5; presentation criteria 4.5 and 4.5; language criteria 4 and 4; graphic criteria 5 and 5 with valid and very valid categories, so that the developed E-worksheets are feasible based on the validity criteria. (2) The practicality of the E-worksheets is reviewed from the responses and activities of students. Learner responses based on content, presentation, language, and graphic criteria obtained a percentage of 96.42%; 96.70%; 99.12%; and 100% with a very practical category. Relevant learner activities at meeting 1 and meeting 2 received a percentage of 95.02% and 96.56% in the very practical category. (3) E-worksheets' effectiveness is based on improving science process skills. A normality test showed a significant score on the pretest and posttest of 0.004 and 0.000, respectively, so the significance < 0.05 showed that its data was not distributed normally. Furthermore, pretest and posttest data are analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, with a significance score of 0.000 < 0.05, showing a significant difference in pretest and posttest results. Data pretest and posttest then also analyze using N-gain with a score from 0.70 to 1.00 with a high category, so students' science process skills are said to increase. E-worksheets effectively improve science process skills.

Development of E-Worksheet Based on Flipped-Guided Inquiry Learning (FGIL) in Thermochemistry for Phase F

“…E-worksheets are easy and effective to use because they can be accessed at any time and do not require a lot of space to store them (Mitasari & Hidayah, 2022). Using e-worksheets in the learning process has the benefit of facilitating the creation of engaging teaching materials by teachers through the addition of images, videos, and links; students are easy to use because they don't need to download an application; and students' answers can be filled in directly in the column provided and sent directly to the teacher (Anisah & Nasrudin, 2023). Eworksheets are also equipped with interactive assignments and questions that can be tested automatically, making the learning and evaluation process easier (Rumasoreng et al, 2023).…”
