PENGEMBANGAN MODEL MODUL IPA BERBASIS PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD BERDASARKAN KARAKTERISTIK SISWA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DI SMP/MTs

Abstract

Abstract: Developing Science Module Models Based on the Problem Solving
Method on the Basis of Students’ Learning Characteristics in SMP/MTs. This
study aims to investigate the learning process in the laboratory using modules
based on the problem solving method, effects of the module models on the
students’ achievement, the effectiveness of the modules, and the evaluation system
in the modules. This study was a research and development study employing a
model by Borg and Gall. The research subjects comprised students, teachers, and
principals. The data were collected through observations and interviews and
analyzed using the descriptive technique. The results show that the module models,
namely experiment and non-experiment student work sheets based on the problem
solving method, and the evaluation system in science learning can be used as an
alternative.
