Preliminary Study of the Development of Biology E-Modules Based on Scientific Approaches of XI Grade High School Student

Abstract

Teaching materials are created as learning aids containing specific materials or topics that are normally prepared by the teacher before learning begins, for example a module. The study aims to describe the early study data on the development of biology e-modules based on a scientific approach in eleventh grade high school students to be developed later. The study uses a PLOMP learning model that consists of three stages: the preliminary research phase, the prototype phase and the assessment phase. However, this research is only conducted in the preliminary research phase. The instruments used in the research were interviews with biology teachers and distribution of lifts to eleventh grade students at SMAN 11 Pekanbaru, SMAN 14 Pekanbaru, and SMAN 15 Pekanbaru. The sample used was 99 students from one class of each school of the entire population. The results of the interviews showed that teachers have never used electronic modules based on a scientific approach. Teachers only used printed modules that already existed as additional teaching materials in learning. Seeing from the curriculum used, which is independent curricula, learning is more student-centric so students are required to be more active. Therefore, additional teaching materials are needed, such as electronic modules based on a flexible scientific approach to be accessible by students anywhere and anytime.
