Development of physics module SMA/MA integrated character values based on discovery learning models with approach science process skills

Abstract

The development of this physics module was motivated by the absence of teaching materials in schools that can support the independent learning process so that the learning process becomes ineffective. Based on the results of performance analysis, it was found that teachers had difficulties in allocating learning time because students had no preparation at home to receive lessons so that teachers should explain from the beginning the lesson that makes learning time ineffective. The low understanding of the concept of learners is also due to the absence of teaching materials in accordance with the characteristics of student, it can be seen from the low learning outcomes of student who have not reached the completeness of classical. For that reason required a learning module in accordance with the characteristics of the student. Based on the results of the analysis of the characteristics of student obtained the results that the student enjoy learning by finding the physics concept. For that reason we need an integrated module with the appropriate learning models. One of the learning models that can be used is discovery learning. With this model the sudent will directed to become researchers by experiments. In the process of experiment the student also trained to have the skills as a researcher. So in order to optimize the skills, the approach used must be integrated into the learning module and the approach that can be used is the approach of science process skills. The use of instructional materials at school must be integrated with character education as stated by the curriculum 2013. For that purpose, this study aims to developa physics module integrated character values based discovery learning models with approach science process skills with a valid and practical and effective category in improving the competence of students The type of this research was research and development using Plomp model consisting of preliminary research, prototyping phase, and assessment phase. The instrument of this research consisted of analysis, validation, and practicalities sheets, essay tests, attitudes and skills observation sheets. Data were analyzed using descriptive percentages. The results showed that Physic’s Module SMA/MA Integrated Character Values Based Discovey Learning Models with Approach Science Process Skills are valid with value (85,3%), very practical according to the teachers (92.25%), very practical according to the students (87.33%), and effective in enhancing the competence of student includes competency attitude (87,79%), the competence of knowledge (92%) and competence skills (87,68%).
