AUGMENTED REALITY BASED ON PROBLEM SOLVING FRAMEWORK TO SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION ABILITY: VALIDITY AND PRACTICALITY

Abstract

The scientific explanation is the ability to express or write scientific explanations. So, developing Augmented Reality media based on the Problem Solving Framework can affect the Scientific Explanation ability of students. This study aims to determine the validity and practicality of Augmented Reality media based on the Problem-Solving Framework to improve students' Scientific Explanation skills. The type of research used is research and development with ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model research procedures. Material experts of the Human Circulation System, question development experts, and learning media development experts at the development stage carry out the validity test. Biology teachers and students assess practicality tests through limited trials at the development stage. Based on the analysis of validity test data, an average material validity test was obtained at 94.6% and a media validity test at 94.75%. The teacher's practicality test got a score of 100%, and the student practicality test was 73.30%. Based on the validity and practicality test of Augmented Reality Media based on problem-solving frameworks, it is declared feasible to be used for further research.
