Keefektifan perangkat rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran IPA-Biologi melalui penelitian pengembangan

Abstract

Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) research focusing on literacy reading, math, and science shows Indonesia ranked only the 55^th out of 65 countries. Research Trends International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) shows Indonesian students are ranked very low in ability 1) understanding complex information, 2) theory, analysis and problem solving, 3) using tools, procedures and problem solving and 4) conducting investigations. One possible way to overcome the problem of Indonesian students' weakness is to improve the RPP (lesson plans). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of science-biology RPP through development research. The researchers use Tessmer Model with self-evaluation stage, expert reviews, one-one, small group, and field test as research focus. The subject of this research are 40 students of VII A class. The types of data include 1) cognitive learning outcomes, 2) performance skills, 3) character behavior, 4) social skills, and 5) critical thinking skills. The cognitive learning outcomes through the tests were analyzed by KKM. Performance skill is assesed through observation using detail section of task performance. Character behavior and social skill are assessed through observation using characteristic behavioral rubric. Critical thinking skills through LKS is assessed with quantitative rubrics. The results of the research show that lesson plans are effective to be used when it is viewed from 1) the fact that the students' learning outcomes (products and processes) have gone beyond classical completeness, its reach 92,5%, 2) excellent student performance skills with an average of 97.12%, 3) excellent student behavior (discipline and responsibility), 4) student social skills (working together and contributing ideas) which are mostly very good, and 5) students' good critical thinking skills with an average 84,2%.
