STEM – book on drinking water using 4S TMD models to develop students technology literacy

Abstract

This study aims to describe how to develop STEM – book on drinking water using 4S TMD models to develop student’s technology literacy. 4S TMD models consists of four stages i.e selection, structuring, characterization and didactic reduction. Developmental Research was used as method of the study consist of design, develop, and evaluation. In this article, we explain result of developed STEM – book on drinking water in selection and structuring stages. Selection stage consist of analysis science curriculum in junior high school related to the theme of drinking water, selection of concept label, selection of values that will appear in teaching material. in this book, we attempted interrelationships between students technology literacy and subject matter of science in junior high school. Structuring stage consist of make a concept maps, macro structure and multiple representation. In this paper, we only explained untill the structuring stage. Characterization and didactic reduction stages are still in the research stage.
