Abstract

<p><em>The development research is aimed to see the feasibility of SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) modules on light and optical properties for grade VIII in junior high school and the response of students. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) design which adapts the 4-D model development research design from Thiagarajan, et al. which includes 4 stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. However, the research is only done up to the develop stage (3-D). This development research begins with field observations and literature study, then developed with the initial design of the module. The initial design of the module is then validated by material experts, media experts, developing education and peer reviews. Furthermore, a limited trial was carried out involving 10 students as research subjects. The data technique was carried out through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The analysis technique uses quantitative analysis of the acquisition of module feasibility validation scores and descriptive analysis. The results showed that the SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) module light and optical properties for grade VIII in junior high school were measured as very valid criteria based on validation results, from the validation we conclude that the module is suitable for use in science learning.</em></p>
