INOVASI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN PABIO (PAPAN BIOTEKNO) PADA MATERI BIOTEKNOLOGI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN SISWA SMA

Abstract

Biotechnology education at the high school level still faces various challenges, primarily because the subject matter is abstract and the teaching materials currently in use have not been able to optimally engage students. As a result, students remain less active in the learning process—whether in asking questions, participating in discussions, or understanding biotechnology concepts—particularly when it comes to modern biotechnology topics. This study aims to develop the PABIO (Educational Biotechnology Board) learning medium for 10th-grade high school biotechnology material and to test the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the resulting medium. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D development model, which includes the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The study was conducted at State High School 10 Banjarmasin, involving nine validators consisting of three subject matter experts, three media experts, and three language experts. The practicality test was conducted by three biology teachers, while the pilot test involved 30 students from Class X-E. Data collection was carried out through interviews, validation sheets, teacher practicality questionnaires, student response questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the PABIO teaching material achieved a validity percentage of 78.44%, falling into the “valid” category. The practicality level, as assessed by teachers, reached 80.55% (“practical”), while student responses.
