Abstract

Creating learning materials based on student local potencies are helping student to master their lesson and give a meaningful learning. This research aimed to produce learning materials based on Simalungun potencies on agriculture and measure the effectiveness of these learning materials, especially on Coffee. The type of this research was ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) while for implementation of learning materials used quasi-experiment which consists of control and experimental group with pretest-posttest design. Samples of this study were Senior High School Students grade X consisted of 22 students for each group. Both group were used learning materials based on Simalungun potencies on agriculture and for experimental group was taught by reminding the step of scientific literacy competencies and environmental awareness during the learning process. Quality of learning materials was measured by expert judgment and experienced teacher. Data collection technique was conducted by using pretest and posttest. Normalized gain value of scientific literacy competencies for control and experimental group were medium. Result for environmental awareness for control group was favorable attitude and experimental group was more favorable attitude. Learning materials based on potency of local agriculture in Simalungun can be used as supplementary of teaching materials in learning process.
