Development of Biology module based on SETS (Science, Environmental, Technology and Society) in ecosystem material

Abstract

The development of biology modules for learning Ecosystem Material based on SETS (Science, Environmental, Technology, and Society) is expected to be able to develop students' abilities in connecting science with the environment, technology, and society in everyday life, so as to improve students' understanding of Ecosystem Materials. The facts obtained from the field are that the teaching materials used by teachers in the learning process are still inadequate and the learning that takes place is still monotonous, so that students find it difficult to understand the concept of Ecosystem Material. The purpose of this study is to design a SETS (Science, Environmental, Technology and Society) based module on Ecosystem Material and to determine the feasibility of a SETS (Science, Environmental, Technology and Society) based module on Ecosystem Material. The SETS-based module refers to the development model developed by Alessi and Trollip, which consists of 3 stages including (1) Planning Stage, (2) Design Stage, and (3) Development Stage. The product produced from this study is a SETS (Science, Environmental, Technology and Society) based module on Ecosystem Material. The number of validation results from material experts was 87.25% and the validation results from media experts were 86.75%, with an average percentage score of 87% so that it was declared very feasible to be used as a learning medium.
