Abstract

Living in this interconnected world, students require having science process skills. The study of science process skills-based instructional material has been on the rise for the last decade. Yet there are few regarding the developing science process skills-based electronic module (e-module) for higher-education Earth and Space Science Classes. This study aims to overcome these limitations by developing a science process skills-based e-module as a supplemental teaching resource of NAAP basic coordinates and seasons simulator. The development of e-module refers to the 4-D research and development model. This study intends to look into (1) how to design the science process skills-based astronomy e-module, 2) how is the validity of the e-module, and 3) how students^ perceptions towards the e-module. For a better result, the e-module was assessed by three validators through an online questionnaire, including language use, material substance, the accuracy of integrating science process skills, and application features. Data on first-year undergraduate physics students^ perception of overall learning experience using e-module was collected through an online Likert scale questionnaire. Results revealed that the science process skills-based e-module was categorized as valid. Findings also revealed the students reported a positive learning experience and described it as worth their time to learn basic coordinates and season topics through e-module.
