Abstract

This study aims to describe the results of the analysis of the Pb-PbSO4 accumulator cell textbook based on the presentation of the process explanation model. Process explanation is needed by Vocational High School students to support the development of reasoning and argumentation skills in learning. This research is a descriptive qualitative research method by analyzing textbooks. The research instrument is a form of analysis of the subject matter in textbooks, and a form of analysis of material content based on a process explanation model. The analysis was carried out on three Pb-PbSO4 accumulator cell textbooks (Textbooks X, Y, and Z) which were taken based on the results of preliminary research and interviews regarding the use of textbooks in vocational schools in the South Bandung region. Based on the analysis, textbook X and Z refer to the 2013 curriculum, while textbook Y is a training book. The number of subject matter in textbooks X, Y and Z, respectively 22, 17 and 23 of the subject matter. In presenting the material using a process explanation model, textbook X has the largest percentage with a result of 36.4%, while textbook Y is 11.8%, and textbook Z is 30.4%.
