DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICS LEARNING TEACHING MATERIALS BASED ON SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS

Abstract

Learning based on Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has been widely implemented in learning to assist students in understanding learning in the 21st century. Developing teaching materials is one way to implement them, but these teaching materials must be in accordance with competencies in the 2013 curriculum and apply the values and concepts contained in learning in the 21st century. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of physics learning teaching material based on STEM to develop 21st Century Learning Skills and testing readability and feasibility. This study was divided into four stages (preliminary studies, planning, development, and testing). The trial design uses One Group Pretest-Posttest. The subjects of the small and large group trials were students of the fifth-semester Physics Education Study Program Universitas Negeri Semarang. The teaching materials showed data about the importance of STEM and 21st-century learning skills, STEM material, and 21st Century Learning Skills, and Physics Learning Teaching based STEM and examples. The results of the feasibility test using a questionnaire showed that the teaching material was in the category of feasible. Readability test results using a cloze test and Raygor graphic showed that the teaching material included in the easy to understand category.
