Reza Nofrianto, Edi Ansyah

Abstract


This study aims to develop student worksheets (LKPD) based on Socio-scientific Issues in science learning to foster critical thinking skills of seventh grade students. This research is research and development (R&D) conducted at SMP 19 Bengkulu City on May 17 to June 28, 2021. Data collection techniques using interviews, observations, questionnaires and documentation, data validated by three validators, namely media expert validators, material experts and language experts. The stages carried out to produce LKPD are as follows: a) potential and problem stage; b) data collection; c) product design stage; d) design validation stage; e) design revision stage; f) product trial stage, g) product revision stage; h) final product stage. The material in the LKPD consists of three sub-materials, namely: a) soil pollution; b) water pollution; c) air pollution. At the end of the material there are questions that lead students to think critically. The product was validated by three validators, namely, linguists with a percentage of 90% (very feasible), material experts with a percentage of 88% (very feasible), and media/design experts with a percentage of 88.2% (very feasible). The results of student respondents to module teaching materials with a percentage of 86, 83% (very practical), the results of teacher respondents showed a percentage of 87% (very practical) it can be concluded that the developed module has a practical category and is suitable for use.
