Implementation of Problem-Based Learning Modules Integrated Ethnoscience to Improve Science Literacy in Redox Material

Abstract:

In Indonesia, students' science literacy has decreased due to the lack of innovative learning strategies carried out by teachers. Learning strategy efforts have been carried out by applying integrated ethnoscience-based problem-based learning modules to improve 21st-century skills. This research was conducted in MAN 1 Cirebon Regency using 2 classes in the form of control classes and experiments. This research instrument uses science literacy tests, observation sheets, and questionnaires. The results showed that the application of ethnoscience-based problem-based learning integrated modules was effective in improving students' science literacy skills. There was an increase in science literacy with an N-Gain value of 0.64, and there was a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class, with a 2-tailed sig value = 0.00 < 0.05. Ethnoscience can be done in addition to increasing local wisdom in the form of an introduction to batik by connecting redox material but can increase scientific literacy, especially in indicators of explaining phenomena scientifically.
