The Effectiveness of Telusur E-Maps-Based PBL in Improving Student Independence and Learning Outcomes in Cell Introduction Material

The problem encountered in grade 8 students of SMP Negeri 2 Kramat is that they have gadgets with internet quotas that have not been optimally utilized, resulting in unsatisfactory science learning outcomes and a decline in student independence. Based on this problem, the Telusur E-Maps-based problem-based learning instructional material was developed to improve student independence and learning outcomes. This study aims to test its feasibility and effectiveness in improving student independence and learning outcomes in the cell introduction material for grade 8 students. This study used the Research and Development method with a 4D development procedure consisting of four stages: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The percentage of the effort to increase student independence by using Telusur E-Maps-based problem-based learning instructional materials is 85%. The effectiveness of Telusur E-Maps-based problem-based learning instructional materials in improving the learning outcomes of grade 8 students was proven effective with the paired t-test results showing that there was a difference in the average of the pretest and posttest data, and the n-gain results obtained a score of 0.67 with a medium criterion. The conclusion of this study is that the Telusur E-Maps-based problem-based learning instructional materials as an effort to improve student independence and learning outcomes in the cell introduction material for grade 8 students can be used and developed for science learning in grade 8. The use of technology can be utilized to help students learn and improve their independence in learning.
