Five Phases

A lesson plan is a design problem for a teacher. The desired solution to this problem is to design an instructional process that can guide students in constructing an understanding of scientific concepts through their own thinking. This article demonstrates a practical approach to designing an effective lesson plan. The approach has five phases: listing the concepts in a lesson, proposing questions that can be answered by each concept, sequencing the questions according to the logic of student cognitive development, selecting resources and designing tasks to create learning situations, and applying knowledge to scientific research and real life. A meiosis lesson from a high school biology course serves as an example for understanding the solutions to problems that may arise in each phase.

The popularization of the STEM educational model has also brought along the need for well-trained teachers. In this model, it is aimed to understand examples in real world and solve related problems. Of course, this depends on the development of critical thinking, creative thinking, researching and experimental skills. For these reasons, in the study, the difficulties which the physics-chemistry preservice teachers encountered while preparing lesson plans in relation to STEM implementations and their opinions about the implementation of these plans. For this purpose, the preservice teachers were asked to form real life-related, information-based problems covering the acquisitions included in the high school programs and then they were expected to turn these into STEM lesson plans. The study is a descriptive study, one of the qualitative research methods. The data was collected via the forms developed by the researchers and including open-ended questions and one-to-one interviews. The obtained data was analyzed according to the steps of content analysis. When the analysis results were examined, it was found that the preservice teachers had difficulty in forming real life-related, information-based problems covering the acquisitions included in the high school programs and integrating them with scientific knowledge and in the engineering integration of STEM implementations and finding materials.

The aim of this research is to develop biology inquiry-based instructional materials, on the topic Human Excretion System to facilitate senior high school students to think critically and work cooperatively. The instructional materials consisted of the lesson plan, worksheet, learning material, and evaluation instruments. Before the try-outing, the instructional materials had been validated by expert and good categorized.  The result showed that: 1) the developed instructional materials were feasible; 2) the lesson plan had been well implemented (98%); 3) the highest students activities were discussion (27,56%), writing hypotheses (22,16%), formulating conclusion (13,70%), and testing hypotheses using the data collection (13,14%); 4) student learning outcomes including the ability of the achievement of competence indicators completeness 88% and  the think critically had reached 95,6% of mastery level in the indicator gives the argument (92,6%) and take decisions and actions (88,1%); 5) student motivation level based on the ARCS instrument were respectively: 4,48 for Attention, 4,44 for Relevance, 4,22 for Confidence, and 4,47 for Satisfaction. The percentage of student response to the instructional process was 80,77% , 84,62% to the teaching materials, 82,05% to the worksheets; and 6) 87,3% in collaboration work. Based on the above result showed that developed biology inquiry based instructional materials on the topic Human Excretion System were feasible to facilitate senior high school students to think critically and work cooperatively. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran yang layak berdasarkan pendekatan berbasis inkuiri pada pokok bahasan sistem eksresi manusia dalam upaya untuk melatih keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kerjasama siswa SMA. Perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan adalah Silabus, RPP, Materi Ajar, LKS, dan Instrumen Penilaian.
