Developing Science Learning Devices Based on Self-Regulated Learning Model to Improve Scientific Literacy and General Life Skill

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) produce a feasible science learning devices based on MSRL; (2) investigate the effectiveness of developed science learning based on MSRL in this research towards the improvement of scientific literacy (SL) and General Life Skill (GLS) of the junior high school students. This is a research and development research employing [2] model. Research procedures cover (1) preliminary study, (2) product design, (3) validation, (4) field test and product revision that produce the final product. The MSRL-based science learning devices consists of Lesson Plan (RPP), Student Worksheet (LKS) and Authentic Assessment Instrument (IPO). The result of the study is a MSRL-based science learning devices for the seventh grade of junior high school students which is effective in improving the students’ SL and GLS. Based on the experts’ assessment, the product is considered very feasible to use. The effectiveness of the learning devices in improving the students’ SL ability can be seen from the comparison of normalized gain score between the control class and the experiment class which are 0.57 and 0.61.

The comparison of the students’ GLS normalized gain average between the control class and the experiment class also shows that the experiment class has higher normalized gain compared to the control class, which is 0.60 compared to 0.46. The T-Test Independent-Samples test result shows that the MSRL-based learning devices gives significant effect towards the SL and GLS improvement of the junior high school students.
