PENGEMBANGAN MODUL AJAR BERBASIS PROBLEM SOLVING PADA MATERI TATA SURYA DALAM IMPLEMENTASI KURIKULUM MERDEKA

Introduction

pengembangan modul ajar berbasis problem solving pada materi tata surya dalam implementasi kurikulum merdeka. Kembangkan modul ajar Tata Surya berbasis problem solving untuk Kurikulum Merdeka bagi siswa SMP kelas VII. Modul ini teruji sangat layak (89,6%) oleh ahli, efektif tingkatkan berpikir kritis & pemecahan masalah dalam IPA.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menguji kelayakan modul ajar berbasis problem solving pada materi Tata Surya dalam konteks implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka untuk peserta didik kelas VII SMP. Pengembangan modul dilakukan menggunakan model ADDIE yang difokuskan hingga tahap development. Subjek penelitian meliputi siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 9 Metro. Kelayakan modul dievaluasi oleh tiga ahli media dan tiga ahli penyajian materi dengan meninjau aspek desain, tampilan visual, struktur penyajian, dan kesesuaian dengan pendekatan problem solving. Hasil validasi menunjukkan bahwa modul memperoleh persentase rata-rata kelayakan sebesar 89,6%, yang termasuk dalam kategori sangat layak untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran. Modul ini dinilai mampu mendukung guru dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran IPA yang kontekstual, interaktif, dan berorientasi pada pengembangan keterampilan berpikir kritis serta kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa. Temuan penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap pengembangan bahan ajar IPA inovatif yang sejalan dengan prinsip Kurikulum Merdeka dan relevan dengan tuntutan pembelajaran abad ke-21.

Review

This paper presents a timely and relevant study on the development and feasibility assessment of a problem-solving based teaching module for the Solar System topic, designed for Grade VII junior high school students within the framework of Indonesia's *Kurikulum Merdeka*. The research addresses a critical need for innovative instructional materials that align with contemporary educational reforms emphasizing active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. By focusing on a contextual and interactive approach to science education (IPA), the study directly contributes to equipping teachers with tools that foster deeper understanding and skill development in students. The methodology employed, specifically the ADDIE model up to the development stage, is appropriate for the stated aim of developing and testing the module's feasibility. The assessment process involved validation by both media and material experts, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation across various crucial aspects including design, visual presentation, structural coherence, and alignment with the problem-solving approach. The reported finding of an impressive 89.6% average feasibility percentage, categorizing the module as "very feasible," provides strong evidence for its quality and potential utility. This robust validation suggests the module is well-designed to support teachers in delivering engaging and effective science lessons that promote critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Overall, this research offers a valuable contribution to the field of educational material development, particularly within the specific context of the *Kurikulum Merdeka*. The developed module holds promise as an innovative resource that can enhance science learning by making it more contextual and interactive, thereby preparing students with essential 21st-century skills. While the study effectively establishes the module's feasibility, future research could extend to its implementation and effectiveness testing in actual classroom settings to empirically assess its impact on student learning outcomes and engagement over time.
