The Development of Science Learning Device Based on Serukam Local Culture To Improve Students’ Analytical Skill

Abstract

As educator of the generations to continue the nation, teac hers have an important role as fac ilitator of strength and motivation in the development of the attitude required for the attainment of educational objectives and goals. They could have an influenc e on their students with what they teac h. Therefore, they need to be innovative in delivering their teac hing to learners in order that the teac hing and learning process becomes more meaningful and results in quality education. In a piec e of research, a learning kit with local culture as basis and developed with the purpose of improving students' analytical skills has been found to be valid and effective in use. The learning kit c onsists of a learning execution plan, a students' work sheet, and an evaluation instrument. The research was Research and Development in design and used the model named ADDIE with the letters in the name standing for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation to represent the research stages. The research subjects were junior high school students of the grade officially c alled Grade VII with 31 of them serving as the experimental class. The research instruments were a validation sheet, an analytical skill test, The research used test and non-test data collec tion tec hniques. According to the validation results, the IPA learning kit developed in the research with S erukam local culture as basis was declared valid by an experts' team of validators. The researc h results indicated that the learning kit was effective in use in relation with students' analytical skills. It was indicated by results of analysis of data obtained before and after the learning period, whic h showed that the gain score for students' analytical skills was 0.54, which was medium in category, Therefore, the learning kit developed as the final product of the research already meets the criteria for being valid and effective to use to improve students' analytical skills.

Investigating the Acquisitions in the Science Teaching Program in terms of Life Skills

“…One of the ways to improve students' analytical skills is to create creative meaningful activities in which they will be more active in solving problems in their environment (Sasmitatias & Kuswanto, 2018). Because an uncertain situation that occurs requires the student to define or create a problem to solve, analytical thinking is required (Robbins, 2011).…”

The Development Application of Pasuruan Local Culture as Mobile Interactive Learning Media of Decorative Material in Pasuruan

“…There needs to be more reference regarding learning media with mobile phones, such as application. According to (Sasmitatias & Kuswanto, 2018), it is necessary to develop applications as educational learning both in character and skill. This is also in line with the thoughts of (H. Iksan & Mohd Saufian, 2017) that learning research that elevates the media, abilities and characters that need to be developed.…”

Alas Kandung-based science learning tools to optimize students’ critical thinking skills

“…Dewi, Suryadarma, Wilujeng, & Wahyuningsih, 2017). Learning that based on a student's environment as a learning resource can help achieve the completeness of competence and to help gain experience and knowledge by practicing intellectual skills (Arti & Ikhsan, 2020;Dwianto, Wilujeng, Prasetyo, & Suryadarma, 2017;Sasmitatias & Kuswanto, 2018). The 21st century requires the quality of Human Resources (HR) and the 21st era skills challenges, according to Reeve (2016) and Qin, J., Liu & Grosvenor (2016) including life and work skills, skills in technology, information communication media, critical thinking skills and creativity.…”
