Abstract
Abstract: Integrated science learning is expected to be able to prepare students to have 21st century skills, especially literacy skills needed to meet the needs of these students. This research is motivated by the limited number of science teaching materials that are presented in an integrated manner with the theme of Energy and Environment. This study aims to test the feasibility of integrated science teaching materials for seventh grade junior high school students using the ADDIE method. This research was conducted in a private junior high school in Bandung. The instruments used are quality tests and tests of understanding of teaching materials. The validator tested the quality of teaching materials on 2 expert lecturers and 10 junior high school science teachers and the test of understanding the main ideas of the discourse was given to 26 students. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics. The results of data analysis showed that the results of the quality test of teaching materials were 83.51 percent in the very feasible category and the results of the comprehension test of the main ideas of the discourse obtained 72.17 percent in the high category. The average quality test and understanding test obtained 77.84 percent. From this research, it can be concluded that the integrated science teaching materials are appropriate to be used as independent teaching materials that equip reading literacy skills and numeracy skills.
Abstrak: Pembelajaran IPA terpadu diharapkan mampu mempersiapkan siswa untuk memiliki keterampilan abad 21, terutama keterampilan literasi yang diperlukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan siswa tersebut. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh terbatasnya bahan ajar IPA yang disajikan secara terpadu dengan tema Energi dan Lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji kelayakan bahan ajar IPA terpadu siswa kelas VII SMP dengan menggunakan metode ADDIE. Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu SMP Swasta di Bandung. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tes kualitas dan tes pemahaman bahan ajar. Validator menguji kualitas bahan ajar pada 2 orang dosen ahli dan 10 orang guru IPA SMP dan uji keterpahaman ide pokok wacana diberikan kepada 26 siswa. Teknik analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif. Hasil analisis data diperoleh hasil uji kualitas bahan ajar diperoleh 83,51 persen dalam kategori sangat layak dan hasil uji keterpahaman ide pokok wacana diperoleh 72,17 persen dalam kategori tinggi. Rata-rata uji kualitas dan uji keterpahaman diperoleh 77,84 persen. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa bahan ajar IPA terpadu layak digunakan sebagai bahan ajar mandiri yang membekali keterampilan literasi membaca dan kemampuan numerasi.
Kata kunci:bahan ajar IPA, literasi membaca, kemampuan numerik.
