The Development of I-SETS based Learning Tools to Improve Learning Outcomes and Problem Solving Skills on Ecosystem Material in MTs

Abstract

The research aims to identify the characteristics, validity, readability, and effectiveness of I-SETS teaching devices as well as improve learning outcomes and skills in solving ecosystem material problems. The method of this research is R&D with the ADDIE type. The results of the research showed that the teaching device based on I-SETS has the characteristics of ecosystem material content that is integrated with Islamic values in the Quran and hadith and applies SETS learning measures. (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society). The media expert's validation score of 4.38 on the criteria is very good. The student's reading score on the I-SETS-based teaching device after testing achieved a 4.70 ratio with a 94% percentage and was included in the criterion very good, and the readability by 2 teachers or practitioners obtained an average of 4.5 with a very good category anyway. The results of the data analysis showed that in the experimental and control classes, the percentage of N-gain test results was in the range of 0.3-0.7 for MTsN Semarang and MTsN Salatiga with moderate criteria. There was an improvement in environmental problem-solving skills in the experimental class compared to the control class with medium criteria, as well as an elevation of attitudes toward the environment. Students showed excellent criteria. Based on research results, I-SETS-based teaching devices are valid and usable and can improve learning outcomes and skills to solve ecosystem material problems
