Abstract
Students worksheet scientific approach is a teaching material that contains material that teaches students to experiment by following the steps based on the scientific method. The scientific method is observed, ask, gather information, associate, and communicate. The results of observation, interview with the teachers and students found that the teacher uses the revised version of the 2013 Curriculum’s handbook of natural science for grade VII. The books contain student activities cannot be done because of the limited media available in the school. So, the teacher must make student worksheets as complementary media for student activities. Constraints experienced by teachers in learning activities with the 2013 Curriculum include limited media such as electron microscope, mount, and surgical appliance for the subject of life organization system, etc. Teachers are predominantly applying scientific steps on students at the aspect of observing, questioning, and communicating, so that students’ knowledge and skill are less optimized. This study aims to determine the feasibility of student worksheets based on the VII class scientific approach. This type of research is Research and Development (R & D) with the Four D research model consisting. The sample used was Kalianget 2 Public Middle School. The result of the research showed that feasibility of Student Worksheets based on Scientific Approach obtained very feasible category, with the percentage feasibility material of 86.11% (very feasible category), feasibility format of the 85.42% (very feasible category), feasibility display of the 85.94% (category is very feasible).
Highlights
Natural science is a knowledge of phenomena occur in nature, and its findings may in form of facts, principles, concepts that are empirically tested through a scientific approach (Husamah, Pantiwati, Restian, & Sumarsono, 2016; Fuad, Zubaidah, Mahanal, Suarsini, 2017)
E-ISSN: 2614-3984 109 is a scientific approach, i.e., a scientific process-based approach with an objective to bring an understanding to students on how to solve a problem by following steps based on scientific methods, i.e.: observing, questioning, gathering information, negotiating, and communicating (Musfiqon & Nurdyansyah, 2015; Handayani, Adisyahputra, & Indrayanti, 2018, Djamahar, et al, 2019)
Result of identification conducted in SMP Negeri 2 Kalianget Junior High School showed that it was a necessity to develop a scientific approach-based student’s worksheet
Summary
Natural science is a knowledge of phenomena occur in nature, and its findings may in form of facts, principles, concepts that are empirically tested through a scientific approach (Husamah, Pantiwati, Restian, & Sumarsono, 2016; Fuad, Zubaidah, Mahanal, Suarsini, 2017). Education with the 21st century learning paradigm is a process that can produce individuals equipped with knowledge, skill, and values essential for life and contribute to the globalization era (Djamahar, et al, 2018). Due to global as well as the integration of technology into education that play role to enhance a knowledge synergy across science fields, new science fields may arise such as: chemical physics, biochemical, biophysics, biotechnology, etc. This has been a new challenge, especially in the education world
