Development of E-Modules Based on Science Technology Society Integrated Life Based Learning in History Learning

Abstract

Science and technology development as well as globalization stream bring shifting towards education field. The 21 learning paradigm put students as agents of change. Therefore, students involvement in solving social issues is indeed required. However, recent study indicated that technology has drawn students became rather individualistic and less socialize.

STS integrates science and technology to be utilized by society. Learning activities involving students actively in learning process of society environment. This research and development study attempts to generate education product in form of electronic module based Science Tecnology Society integrated Life Based Learning which was being validated by experts and improves history learning. This study engaged ADDIE model. Data collection performed observation, questionnaire, and interview. Study sample were three SMAN for observation and one school for trial, three history teachers, and 95 students. Research result of e-module development indicate content expert validation obtains 82% categorized as eligible, language expert validation expert obtains 94% categorized as very eligible, design validation expert obtains 91,6% categorized as very eligible and users test score is 83,2 categorized very high. Based on this result, electronic module based Science Technology Society integrated Life Based Learning is appropriate and effective as learning source in history subject.
