Developing of physics teaching materials based on authentic learning to train problem-solving skills

Abstract

Authentic learning as a means that allows students to develop knowledge transferred to real-world practice. This research aimed at determining the validity, the practicality and the effectivity of the use of physics teaching materials based on authentic learning. This research type is a research and development using the ADDIE model. The subjects of the trial were 33 students of class X at one of the high schools in Banjarmasin. The research instruments were validation sheets, observation sheets for lesson plan implementation, student achievement results and problem-solving skills assessment sheets. The results showed that: (1) the validity of the Physics teaching materials based on authentic learning was very high with an average value of 3.68, (2) practicality with an average of 3.68 criteria very high, (3) effective in improving aspects of knowledge of students who are classified as moderate with a gain score of 0.6 and problem-solving skills is adequately trained. It was concluded that the physics teaching materials based on authentic learning were declared valid, practical and effective to train problem-solving skills. This problem-solving skills is also useful for students to get success in real life.
