Menulis teks hasil observasi sebagai salah satu materi yang harus dikuasai oleh peserta didik sesuai dengan kurikulum 2013. Permasalahan yang terjadi pada proses pembelajaran adalah pembelajaran yang kurang menimbulkan antusias belajar peserta didik. Media pembelajaran merupakan salah satu yang mempengaruhi pembelajaran efektif karena menumbuhkan antusias belajar siswa. Setelah mempelajari media pembelajaran yang sudah ada, ditemukan fakta bahwa media pembelajaran masih sederhana dan belum interaktif. Relevan dengan situasi tersebut, diperlukan media pembelajaran untuk menulis teks hasil observasi yang interaktif bermuatan konservasi yang sesuai bagi peserta didik kelas VII SMP, baik dari segi kelayakan isi, penyajian, dan bahasa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Research and Development (penelitian dan pengembangan) dari Borg dan Gall (2003:570). Media pembelajaran interaktif ini terdiri dari empat menu yaitu permainan, kompetensi inti dan kompetensi dasar, materi, dan soal. Media pembelajaran interaktif dalam pembelajaran menulis teks hasil observasi bermuatan konservasi untuk siswa SMP kelas VII dinyatakan valid oleh ahli dan praktisi dengan skor rata-rata 3 (tiga) yang dikategorikan baik. Hasil uji keefektifan media pembelajaran interaktif dalam pembelajaran menulis teks hasil observasi bermuatan konservasi untuk siswa SMP kelas VII menyatakan media permainan interaktif ini efektif dengan bukti data uji t yang menyatakan adanya perbedaan signifikan hasil pretes dan postes. Kata Kunci: konservasi; media pembelajaran interaktif; peseta didik; teks hasil observasi   Abstract Writing an observation report is one of materials in the 2013 curriculum and it needs to be mastered by students. Meanwhile, the most frequent problem which arises during learning process is learning which does not trigger students’ enthusiasm. Interactive learning media can create an effective learning process since the media can trigger students’ enthusiasm.

The purpose of this research is to produce student worksheet that is feasible, practical, and effective in improving students' literacy skills. This research is research and development using Thiagarajan 4D development model which includes design, define, develop, and disseminate stages. The research subjects consisted of 1 SMP/MTs equivalent in East Lombok which were determined using purposive sampling technique. The instruments used include validation sheets, student and teacher response questionnaires, and scientific literacy assessment instruments. The feasibility and practicality data were analyzed using the percentage formula, and the effectiveness data were analyzed using the N-gain analysis. The results showed that 1) student worksheet science based on the bioecology of cuttlefish cultivation (Sepia.sp) was feasible to use with an average score of 73 for the content/material aspect, 73 for the language aspect, and 85 for the appearance aspect, 2) science student worksheet based on the bioecology of cuttlefish cultivation. (Sepia sp.) is practically used with an average percentage of student responses of 81% and teacher responses of 88%, 3) student worksheet science based on the bioecology of cuttlefish cultivation (Sepia.sp) is effective in improving students' scientific literacy skills with an average N value -gain of 0.5 in the medium category. Thus, it can be concluded that the science student worksheet based on the bioecology of cuttlefish (Sepia sp.) cultivation is feasible, practical, and effective to use in science learning as an effort to improve the scientific literacy of junior high school students in coastal village schools in East Lombok.

In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, there was a decline in the character of the Indonesian nation, such as manners and less commendable individual behaviour. Hence, the importance of strategies for enhancing and developing individual manners. The purpose of this research is to produce a guidebook and play media of Si-KARTUN to develop the manners of junior high school students. The research and development method used was adapted from the Borg Gall model. The research and development subjects consist of two media experts, one material expert, and two potential users (mentors). Expert and prospective user test tools use a product acceptance scale based on aspects of accuracy, function, interest, and accuracy in providing group guidance services to foster the behaviour of junior high school students. Data analysis of material experts and candidates used the inter-rater agreement model while the results of the media evaluation were analyzed on an average basis. Based on the evaluation results of experts and potential users, Si-KARTUN meets the appropriate criteria, is practical, attractive, and easy to use; Therefore, the Si-KARTUN product is feasible to be applied.

The visualization of objects of an abstract nature has always been a challenge for chemistry learners. Thus, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been heavily invested in as immersive learning methods for these concepts. This study targets the segment of the chemistry curriculum involving the chemical elements of the periodic table. For this purpose, we developed the AR educational tool called MicroWorld. This Arabic educational AR app was developed in unity with Vuforia SDK. Using MicroWorld, students can visualize chemical elements microstructures in 3D, see 3D models of the elements in their substantial forms, and combine two chemical elements to see how certain chemical compounds can be formed. In this work, MicroWorld’s usability was evaluated by junior high school students and chemistry teachers using the Arabic system usability scale (A-SUS). The A-SUS average score was 71.5 for junior high school students, while the scale for teachers reached 76. This research aims to design, develop, and evaluate the AR app, MicroWorld. This app was built and evaluated through the lens of the design science research paradigm.
