DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED SCIENCE TEACHING MATERIAL OF OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM HEALTH BY INTEGRATING SCIENTIFIC LITERACY FOR GRADE VIII STUDENTS
In a teaching principle in 21st century is stated that teaching should has context. Thisprinciple emphasizes that teaching should be related to real world context. Integrated scienceteaching can connected to teaching in the classroom with real world. As the reason is science inthe real world is integrated form. Besides that, the implementation of integrated scienceteaching can improve scientific literacy of students. In real world context the scientific literacyis very important in preparing students in modern life with rapid development of science andtechnology. Base on this reason, integrated science teaching is required in 2013 curriculum.But integrated science teaching isn’t implemented well yet. As an alternative solution of thisproblem is to develop teaching material of integrated science by integrating scientific literacy ofour digestive system health. The general objective of this research is to create the valid teachingmaterial of integrated science on digestive system health in its preliminary product, andpractice and effective in its implementation in scientific approach. Type of this research isresearch and development. Stages of this research consist of understanding the potency andproblem, collecting the information, developing the preliminary of product, implementing theteaching material in limited field testing, and revising the teaching material based on result oflimited field testing. Design of research in limited field testing is after and before treatment.Instruments to collect the data consist of validity sheet of teaching material, practicality sheetand effectiveness sheet of implementation teaching material of integrated science. Data in thisresearch are analyzed by statistical descriptive analysis, graph method, and correlationcompare mean test. Base on the data analysis can be stated two of this research results. First,the teaching material of integrated science by integrating scientific literacy is very valid withaverage value 88.5. Second, the implementation of teaching material of integrated science byintegrating scientific literacy is practice according teacher and students with average valuerespectively 92,5 and 84.1. On the other hand, the implementation of teaching material ofintegrated science is effective in scientific approach for students grade VIII in Junior HighSchool.
