Pengembangan Perangkat Pengembangan Perangkat Pembelajaran RBL-STEM Untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Pertanian Siswa

Abstract

The low agricultural literacy among elementary school students is a challenge in fostering the understanding of the younger generation of the agricultural sector in Indonesia. This research aims to develop a learning tool based on Research Based Learning (RBL) with a Science, Technology, Engineering, and, Mathematics (STEM) approach to improve students' agricultural literacy through the Fun Urban Vertical Faming Class activity. This research uses the Reseacrh and Development (R&D) method with a 4D development model which includes the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The subjects of the study were 28 students in grade IV of SDN Tegal Besar 04. The research instruments included validation sheets, student response questionnaires, student Learning Outcome Tests in the form of pretests and posttests, and interviews analyzed using phase portrait and N-Vivo techniques. The validation results showed that all devices were in the very valid category, with a score of 94% for the teaching module, 96% for the Student Worksheet, 97% for the Learning Outcome Test, and 95% for the student response questionnaire. The practicality test obtained a score of 98% in the very practical category, while the effectiveness test based on the results of the pretest and posttest obtained a score of 88%. Qualitative analysis through phase portraits and N-Vivo showed that the increase in students' agricultural literacy was classified into three categories, namely very high, high, and medium. Overall, the RBL-STEM learning tool has proven to be valid, practical, and effective in improving students' agricultural literacy.
