Description

A package of science learning tools developed for grade 8 human respiratory system instruction: lesson plans, student worksheets, and an observation sheet for assessing developing-and-using-models skill. The tools were validated by two expert lecturers, one science teacher, and nine students across two revision stages, and used in a quasi-experiment comparing an NGSS-oriented class with a control class using the teacher's tools. The article reports the tools "are feasible for use in learning, based on results of expert validation".

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Worksheets must meet didactic conditions so they "could be used well for students at all levels of intelligence", appropriate language and clarity, and technical requirements of writing, drawing, and appearance
  • Lesson plans and worksheets are feasible if their average validation score is above 3.0; the skill appraisal tool if validation is in the good category at 76-85%

Constraints

  • Validated for the human respiratory system theme in grade 8 at one Indonesian junior secondary school

Target Learners

  • Grade 8 junior secondary science students

Learning Goals

  • Developing and using models skill
  • Practical skill assessment in science
