This study aims to innovate learning through information technology, especially related to the development of learning models through applications or video conferencing. The research method used is a qualitative method with a study of literature (documents) on the results of previous research. The data collection in this study by browsing books and journals in several print and electronic media such as books, journal collections, libraries and the internet. The results showed that the innovation of the 5E learning cycle learning model using gathering towns can be done in learning as a support for student motivation and teacher convenience in improving learning. Abstrak. Abad 21 dicirikan dengan berkembangnya informasi secara digital. Pembelajaran di abad 21 harus dapat mempersiapkan generasi manusia menyongsong kemajuan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan inovasi pembelajaran melalui teknologi informasi, terutama terkait dengan pengembangan model pembelajaran melalui aplikasi platform atau video conference. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode studi literatur (dokumen) atas hasil penelitian sebelumnya. Adapun pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini dengan menelusuri buku-buku dan jurnal-jurnal pada beberapa media cetak maupun elektronik seperti buku, koleksi jurnal, perpustakaan dan internet. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa inovasi model pembelajaran learning cycle 5E menggunakan gather town dapat dilakukan dalam pembelajaran sebagai penunjang untuk meningkatkan motivasi siswa dan mempermudah guru dalam mengkoordinasikan pembelajaran.

Kemampuan argumentasi penting untuk dikembangkan karena dapat melatih berpikir secara ilmiah, berkomunikasi dan bertindak seperti ilmuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kemampuan argumentasi siswa pada pembelajaran biologi khususnya mengenai isu sosiosaintifik Jenis penelitian yang digunakan yakni penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan metode observasi. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan snow ball sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan menggunakan tes berupa essay dan angket. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan argumentasi siswa menggunakan claim ketika berargumentasi (68%), didukung oleh data (28%), backing (10%), qualifier (5%) sedang presentase kemunculan warrant dan rebuttal (0%). Dapat diketahui bahwa kemampuan argumentasi siswa paling tinggi berada pada level 3 dengan dominasi pendukung claim terbanyak yaitu data/konsep ilimah dan pengalaman maupun pengamatan pribadi terhadap lingkungan.

This study aims to develop a test assessment as a practical performance appraisal. Real-World application inquiry skills refer to Wenning's framework for learning Biology. The study used the research and development method. The research subjects were students of class XII SMAN 2 Serang City Banten Province in the academic year 2022/2023. The research instruments were forms of tests in the form of practical tasks and rubrics. The performance assessment tool was evaluated for validity and scored 0.53. Analysis of the validity of the performance assessment using Aiken's V. Based on the criteria, the performance assessment tool was declared valid. Then, for the reliability of non-test assessment tools, the average measure's value was 0.715. It means that the performance assessment assessed by the three validators has a moderate ICC (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient) value or moderate reliability. Based on the research results, the resulting assessment tool is ready to be used directly or as an assessment prototype for further development.

Science process skills (SPS) are basic skills in science and tools of a scientist to investigate science phenomena. One of the ways to improve science process skills is by giving students practice questions. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable science process skills instrument. The research is developmental research using a procedural model adapted from Djaali and Muljono. These steps include the theory synthesis stage, the design stage (variable construction, development of question indicators, preparation of grids, making instruments, scoring), and the evaluation stage (validity test, reliability test, and item analysis). The research instruments used were expert validation sheets, practitioner assessment questionnaires, and product trial questions for 100 students. The results of judgment expert and practitioner judgment were processed descriptively. The empirical validity results, which are quantitative data, are processed using the software Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the developed questions were valid based on logical validity (89.43%) and empirical validity (84%). The reliability calculation shows the high category (0.66). This study concludes that the SPS questions developed are feasible to assess the process skills of biology subjects at the junior high school level.

Practicum and laboratory activities cannot be taken from biology learning. Activities require Laboratory Activity Designs and Student Worksheets as instructions for their implementation. Based on the results of a field study) that student worksheet measured in the field has several problems. Therefore, to overcome this, an in-depth analysis and reconstruction of student worksheet is needed. This study aims to describe the results of the analysis, trials and reconstruction of student worksheet osmosis to meet the requirements of the 2013 curriculum. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a sample of 8 student worksheet from the 2004 curriculum, school based curriculum and 2013 curriculum. The selected student worksheet uses purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used was in the form of practical analysis, knowledge construction, and the relevance of the curriculum and content. Based on the results of the relevance analysis, most of the student worksheet are relevant to the curriculum. From the aspect of knowledge construction, student worksheet cannot yet describe the development of student skills. The results of the reconstruction that have been made have been assessed by experts.
