Development of A Website-Based “Merdeka” Syntax in Improving Science Literacy Competencies

Abstract: The researcher conducted research on the development of a website-based MERDEKA syntax on the learning process of students at SMPN 2 Kersamanah. This study aims to find out about: 1) how the ADDIE model with the MERDEKA syntax based on Websites can be applied to science subjects, 2) improving Science Literacy Competency (SLC) on the subject of the reproductive system of science subjects. The type of research used is Research and Development (R&D), and the research model uses ADDIE, namely Analysis, Design, Develop (Borg and Gall stages), Implementation, and Evaluate. The population in this study was 242 students in grade IX and a sample of 63 people. The data collection techniques used were non-test and test, the data obtained was analyzed by rating grade, and quantitative data was analyzed by linearity, normality, heteroscedasticity, and regression test. Product validation is carried out by 4 experts. Validated products are implemented on the research subjects. From the regression test , a linear equation Ŷ=107.970-0.298X was produced, then the hypothesis was tested to see the significance of tcal = -1.315 > ttable = 1.296 where H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. This means that there is an influence of the website-based MERDEKA syntax on SLC. To see how much influence the X variable has, look at the R Square value of 0.028, meaning that the website-based MERDEKA syntax has an effect on the increase in SLC by 2.8%. So that the website-based MERDEKA syntax product is suitable for use and development in learning.
