The development of module based on scientific literacy: Geometric optics

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop geometry optics module based on scientific literacy in terms of theoretical and empirical. The module was developed by using four-D model. Subject of this study was the geometry optics module which was tried out on first semester students of natural science education by using the one-group pre-test post-test design. The two techniques of collecting data were validation sheets and test. The obtained data then were analyzed with quantitative descriptive. The results showed that the module of Geometric Optic was judged valid in terms of content, performance, language and scientific literacy aspect with average score respectively 3.35, 3.38, 3.44, and 3.50. In addition, the Geometric Optics module-based scientific literacy was categorized easy to understand by cloze test. Based on the results of N-gain analysis, it was obtained an average score of 0.63 which means that the geometry optics module based on scientific literacy was able to improve students' scientific literacy skills.
