Abstract

The research and development was proposed to produce a connected model integrated science teaching material with proven effectiveness. The teaching material was packaged in the printed form and based on student characteristics. The teaching material was developed to improve science process skills of junior high school students. The researchers developed the teaching material using a model of research and development by Borg and Gall (2003). The stages consisted of six steps, namely: 1) preliminary study; 2) planning; 3) development; 4) validation; 5) trial; 6) the final product. The validation results of the teaching material and the development of materials experts showed that the teaching material was valid and the responses of two science teachers indicated that the teaching material was generally good and appropriate for use in learning. The results of the analysis of legibility and attractiveness of the teaching material by 6 students of class IX showed that the teaching material was very easy to read and very interesting for students. The results of science process skills after treatment showed significant difference between the two classes. The science process skills in the experimental class were better than the science process skills in the control class. Based on these data, the connected model integrated science material was appropriate for use because it has been categorized as very valid, effective in improving student learning science process skills, and practical in the process of learning science in junior high school in Malang city.
