Development of STEM-based interactive e-module on ecology topic for senior high schools’ student

Abstract

The quality of education must always be improved to get maximum results. One way to improve it is by developing learning media. Based on the results of field observations in this study at MA Raudlatus Shibyan, the use of learning media was still not optimal. For this reason, researchers developed an Interactive E-module product containing Ecology topic in Biology Learning as a supplement to learning. An interactive e-module is an electronic module that contains materials, videos, audio, animations, quizzes, and evaluations, which allow students to study independently. This descriptive research consists of three main stages, include Planning, Project, Evaluation (PPE). The interactive e-module developed was compiled using the Canva web, then the file was saved as a PDF, after which editing was continued using the Flip PDF Professional application. The product was then validated by a material expert and got a percentage score of 98.12% in the "Very Feasible" category. Validation by media experts got a score of 93.25% in the "Very Decent" category. After going through validation and revision according to the suggestions, the product was tested on Biology teachers and students of class X science. The score from the teacher's assessment is 79.76% in the "Eligible" category. Assessment from students got a score of 80% in the "Eligible" category. Based on the results obtained from product validation and testing, the interactive E-module developed by the researcher was feasible to be used in the field in terms of valid and practical feasibility.

STEM Based Ecosystem Module: An Effort to Improve Students’ Science Process Skill

“…Previously, the development of STEM-based modules was intended as the main teaching material or complementary teaching materials (Fauzi & Hayya, 2022;Meishanti, 2021;Sugianto et al, 2018). Whereas in biology learning the module was developed as an effort to increase scholastic literacy skills and stimulate HOST students (Afriyanti et al, 2021;Irmawati et al, 2021).…”
