Validity of physics learning module based on problem based learning to improve students metacognitive skills

Abstract

Metacognitive includes to high-level thinking domain that involves active control in the cognitive process to solve a problem. Various efforts to improve the mastery of metacognitive skills was indispensable, one through the use of module that stimulated the metacognitive skills of students. This research and development (R&D) aims to produce physics learning module based on problem based learning on topic of momentum and impulses. Module developmnt used Plomp model. To use this module, validation is required. Module was validated by five experts (three lectures of Universitas Negeri Padang and two physics teachers of senior high school 1 2X11 Enam lingkung). The data collection used questionnaire method. Aiken's V was used to analyze vaidity. The validation results showed that content validity were 0.89 by expert and 0.86 by practitioners, contruct validity 0.84 by expert and 0.87 by practitioners, and language validity 0.84 by expert and 0.83 by practitioners with valid category and can be used to determine the improvement of metacognitive skills of students. Suggested to physics teachers to implemented the problem based learning module and emphasised metacognitive skills in learning process.
