The characteristics teaching materials of biology laboratory management

Abstract

The suitable teaching materials will make it easier for students to learn in the classroom. To present suitable teaching materials, a needs analysis is needed. This study aimed to determine the types and characteristics of teaching materials needed in learning biology laboratory management. The survey method was carried out to students who were randomly selected. The instrument is arranged in the form of a questionnaire by paying attention to each characteristic indicator of various teaching materials. The validity of the instrument used a combination of expert judgment. The questionnaire is distributed via google form to students who have taken laboratory management courses with a filling period of 2 weeks obtained 123 respondents. The data were analyzed descriptively of quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that the percentage of students who needed teaching materials for biology laboratory management lectures was 98%; the characteristics of teaching materials wanted by students included: containing learning objectives, using simple language, sequenced materials according to lecture sessions, containing summaries, and providing feedback. Teaching materials based on existing characteristics can be in the form of modules that are adapted to the Semester Learning Plan.

Development of introductory teaching materials for the collaborative science laboratory of culture, Islam and technology

“…The application of local potential-based teaching materials contains contextual learning because it can integrate local wisdom in the learner's environment. These teaching materials can improve students' understanding of physics concepts (Satriawan & Rosmiati, 2016). Innovative value is shown by the collaboration of renewable technology, namely Augmented reality which is included in introductory laboratory teaching materials assisted by smartphone applications.…”

“…The basis of this understanding depends on the managerial competence and laboratory organization to be able to carry out the process of utilizing all resources in achieving laboratory goals as set out (Intan 2021). One of the efforts that can be done is to present material that is open to real local phenomena/wisdom (Satriawan & Rosmiati, 2016), connect with religion (Islam) (Arimadona 2017), and involve technology/animation (Zain & Vebrianto, 2017). Analysis of the need for the use of Islamic integrated learning literature occupies a percentage of 100% and 89% of students agree that Islamic integrated learning literature can help students' understanding (Vitrianingsih et al, 2021) and support an increase in students' KKM completeness by 92% (Ratriana et al, 2021).…”

“…With the optimal role of laboratory management and facilities and infrastructure, effective education can be realized because it is able to facilitate students to make positive contributions. Knowledge of laboratory management and the substance of teaching materials can increase motivation, insight (Jonuarti et al, 2014), independence (Saifuddin & Puspitasari, 2021), and able to support an effective and efficient learning process for teachers (Suseno & Riswanto, 2017). Research shows the relationship between the ability to use and manage the laboratory in students is directly proportional to the increase in student learning outcomes in subjects that have practicum (Susanto, 2018).…”

“…An effective surrounding phenomenon that can be used in the learning process is local wisdom. Teaching materials that present the phenomenon of local wisdom can help students understand concepts in the form of moral messages (Satriawan & Rosmiati, 2016). Local wisdom can also be used as a guide in the life and character of the nation that teaches students to be familiar with concrete situations in the surrounding environment (Ferdianto & Setiyani 2018).…”

Analysis of the Development Needs of Student Worksheet Based on Local Wisdom of Biotechnology Material at Senior High School, Kupang City

“…A needs analysis or assessment of the needs of teachers and students on biological material is necessary to identify the specific requirements and preferences of the target audience to develop effective teaching materials. Analysis helps in understanding the types and characteristics of teaching materials needed for biology education, such as the use of simple language, sequential materials, and feedback (Saifuddin & Puspitasari, 2021). It also helps in identifying the development of teaching materials based on a cooperative approach, which can facilitate students' understanding of the topic (Setiawan et al, 2020).…”
