Development of Learning Material of Biotechnology Topic Based on STEAM-LW Approach for Secondary School in Coastal Area

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop learning material based on STEAM-LW approach in the Biotechnology subject of Grade IX students in coastal area. This research referred to R2D2 model and it used six validators to assess the quality and 72 students to test the prototype. Questionnaire of student and teacher, validator sheets, and questionnaires of the legibility and difficulty level were used. The result showed that learning material based on STEAM-LW has been strong valid of 87.50% score and can be used in learning process directly. Whereas the legibility level and student’s response questionnaires exhibited that students gave positive response of 86.61% and 91.74%, respectively. These results indicated that the learning materials based on STEAM-LW not only exceeded the validation process, but also it had a comprehensive biotechnology subject that satisfy the coastal area's student needs. In summarize, the developed-learning material based on STEAM-LW approach in the biotechnology subject is strong recommended for using in secondary school of coastal area.
