Pengembangan LKPD Berbasis Eco-STEM untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Scientific Creativity Siswa SMP pada Pembelajaran IPA

Abstract

Technological developments in the 21st century require students to possess critical and creative thinking skills as well as problem-solving abilities, including scientific creativity. However, science learning in schools still tends to be oriented toward rote memorization and the use of teaching materials that lack innovation, so that students’ scientific creativity has not developed optimally. Therefore, this research aims to identify the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of Eco-STEM-based worksheets developed to enhance students’ Scientific Creativity. This research applies the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: Analyze, Design, Development, Implement, and Evaluate. The participants in this research were seventh-grade students at State Junior High School No. 2 Kalisat. The results of the research indicate that: (1) the average validity percentage of the worksheets reached 91%, placing them in the “highly valid” category and suitable for use in science education; (2) the average practicality percentage was 89%, indicating that the worksheets are highly practical and easy for students to use; (3) the effectiveness test results showed that Eco-STEM-based worksheets were able to improve students’ scientific creativity skills with an N-gain value of 0.404, which falls into the moderate category; and (4) the average percentage of student responses was 89%, which is classified as “very good,” indicating that the worksheets were effective and received positive feedback from students.
