The Effectiveness of STEM-Based Physics Learning E-Module Education Integrated Coastal Abrasion Materials to Improve Student Knowledge and Disaster Response Attitudes

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a STEM education-based physics e-module integrated with coastal abrasion material in improving students' disaster response attitudes and knowledge. The applicable curriculum and regulations explain the need for local wisdom to be included in learning materials so that students can recognize and understand regional characteristics. West Sumatra has most of the area on the coast, so it has the potential for the threat of natural disasters of beach abrasion. To provide disaster education by integrating it into learning Physics. Beach abrasion is a natural event that occurs spontaneously, so bringing it into the classroom is impossible. Therefore, electronic-based learning resources are needed. This research was conducted in wave material at SMA Negeri 1 Ulakan Tapakis 2018/2019 Academic Year. The method used in this case research is quasi-experimental. The design chosen was one group pretest-posttest design. The competencies analyzed were responsiveness and knowledge competencies. The study results mean that the STEM education-based physics e-module integrated with beach abrasion material effectively improves students' disaster response attitudes and knowledge.
