Developing Worksheets for Fine Art Materials by Using Discovery Learning Model Based on the Scientific Approach

Abstract

Abstract-Worksheets, one of the instructional media, have to be prepared before teaching since they affect the teaching and learning process. The 2013 curriculum requires the learning implementation to be applied based on the scientific approach including the development of worksheets. However, it has not yet been applied at schools. This research aimed at finding out and developing worksheets based on the scientific approach using discovery learning model suitable, practical and effective to improve students abilities. The design of the research was research and development using the 4-D model: define, design, develop, and disseminate (Thiagarajan and Sivasailam, in Trianto, 2009). The quality of the worksheets was analyzed from several points. Its suitability was analyzed from experts points of view while its practicality was analyzed from teacher's and students' responses. In addition, the effectiveness of the worksheets was analyzed from students learning outcomes. The instruments of the research were expert validation sheets, students and teachers response questionnaires, and test. The research result shows that the worksheets development have fulfilled the valid category. It was analyzed from the presentation, content, language and graphics found in the worksheets. It means the worksheets based on the scientific approach using the discovery learning model are suitable.
