The Development of Microbiology Textbook to Enhance Scientific Literacy of Biology Students
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aimed to find out: (1) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to material experts; (2) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to design experts; (3) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to lecturers; (4) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to college students; (5) The advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook applied in the learning process of microbiology. This model comprised six main steps, namely; (1) preliminary studies implementation; (2) product planning; (3) material collection; (4) initial product development; (5) product validation and (6) revision and trial. Trial subjects consisted of the team of material experts, design experts, 2 lecturers of microbiology, 3 students of Biology Education Program at Universitas Negeri Medan (State University of Medan) on the individual trials, 9 students on the small group and 40 others on the limited field group trials as well. The data of the product quality in this study was collected by using questionairres and subsequently was analyzed by the quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques. The results showed that: (1) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to material experts was categorized to be “very good” (84.48%); (2) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to design experts was categorized to be “very good” (86.44%); (3) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to lecturers was categorized to be “very good” (89.13%); (4) the advisability level of scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook according to college students was categorized to be “very good” (81.75%). It could be concluded that the product of a scientific literacy-based microbiology textbook that has been developed was advisable and eligible to be applied as one of the additional sources for students in the course of microbiology. This study was just conducted until the limited field trial ended, then to find out its effectiveness of the textbook required other studies in the near future.
