Development of Case Method and Team Based Project Based Textbooks to Improve Students' Science Process Skills in Plant Morphology Courses

Abstract

Textbooks are books that teachers and students use in
learning activities.Textbooks contain learning materials and
instructional learning activities that are in accordance with the
learning plan that has been prepared by the teacher.
Textbooks based on Case method and team-based projects
can direct students to carry out several science process skills
that are integrated into the learning activities contained in the
textbook.This study aims to determine the role of Plant
Morphology textbooks based on case methods and team
based projects in improving the science process skills of
Biology students. This type of research is descriptive
quantitative. This Plant Morphology textbook was developed
using the ADDIE development model with stages of analysis,
design, development, implementation and evaluation and has
been tested for its feasibility. The subject of this study is a
plant morphology textbook based on case methods and team
based projects used in learning plant morphology courses. The
object of the study is the science process skills of Biology
students at the State University of Medan which include ability
interpret, predict, analyze data, group, design, conclude and
communicate. The results of the study showed that the
average value of the ability to interpret 79.4 (high), predict
78.4 (high), analyze data 79.6 (high), group 78.9 (good), design
80 (good), conclude 86 (very good), communicate 86.5 (very
good). The number of students who have science process skills
with a good category is 90.9% and those who have a less good
category are 9.1%.
