ABSTRACT
The aim of the development chemistry learning module on the teaching
and learning of oxidation and reduction reaction are to develop and standardize of
chemistry learning module and to know its affectivity due to student’s
achievement. The populations of this research are all students grade X SMA
Negeri 1 Medan, SMA Negeri 1 Tebing Tinggi, SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi, all
students grade XI SMA Methodist 1 Medan, Chemistry lecturers, chemistry
teacher, chemistry books. The samples that were chosen from two classes those
are homogenize, and distributed normally. There two kinds of research
instruments, those are questionaire for standarization of chemistry learning
module, and 15 multiple choice those were validated by expert valuator and
students, with its rcalculation 0.682 > rtable 0.344, stated that it was reliable .
questionaire was done in standarized chemistry learning module by chemistry
lecturers, chemistry teachers, and students called as expert judgment. Trial for

module have done, by giving pretest, teaching and learning activities by using
module as media (in control class), and by using chemistry book as a media (in
experimental class), giving posttest-I, and next two weeks is giving posttest-II.
The result of this research can be shown as the average percentage in High Group
(HG) using module 52.48% is higher than using book 51.12%, with tcount = 4.56
while ttable at α = 0,05 is 1.32, and the average of experimental class
( =77.37±6.21), and control class ( =70.48±5.45). the average percentage in
Low Group (LG), using module 66.05% is less than using book 68.41% , with
tcount = 1.19 while ttable at α = 0,05 is 1.32, and the average of experimental class
( = 74.71±7.30), and for cotrol class ( = 72.49±7.16). it could be conclude that
chemistry learning module is able to increase student’s achievement in HG. The
afectivity of chemistry learning module can be analysed by using data posttest-II.
Total affectivity percentage using module109.49% is higher than 108.92%, with
the average for experimental class ( = 83.26±10.45), and control class ( = 78.71
± 16.46). The standarization of chemistry learning module have assesed by
lecturer (3.52), assesed by chemistry teacher (3.47), assesed by students (3.26),
and the total average (3.42), it means that chemistry learning module is valid and
doesn’t need revision.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Research Background
Development of learning module is very important and very interesting to
be discussed and it’s believed that using the learning module that have developed
can increase students’ achievement especially in chemistry topic. Development
learning module in English version is very important for this moment, as we know
that Indonesian Education still in process to compete with another country. In
Globalization era we forced to use as International Language that is needed to be
mastered. We need English to communicate with foreigners in the field of
development, technology, economy, and education. Qualified education will
create students who are able to compete internationally. Government has an effort
to increase the quality of our education in Indonesia, which has one purpose, able
to compete internationally. One of efforts that can be observed is the existence of
Bilingual class in Rintisan Sekolah Berstandar Internasional (RSBI) or Sekolah
Berstandar Internasional (SBI).
Teaching and learning in Bilingual class use two languages, those are
Bahasa Indonesia and English, especially for subject matter such as, Mathematics,
Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. For getting the concept of Bilingual class, there
are some prerequisites, such as (1) learning substances should be suitable with
students’ cognitive development and student’s English improvement, (2) School is
able to create conducive learning environment in using English, (3) learning is
forced to solve problems and students do cooperatively.(http://gurupembaharu.c
om/home/?p=2733.).
North Sumatera has some Bilingual class in SBI and RSBI. School which
get predicates as RSBI. Some of schools that has RSBI or SBI predicate are; SMA
Negeri 1 Medan, SMA St.Thomas 1 Medan, SMA Swasta Budi Murni Medan,
SMA Swasta Al-Ulum Medan, SMA Syafiatul Amalia Medan SMA Negeri 1
Tebing Tinggi, SMP Negeri 1 Tebing Tinggi, SMA Negeri 1 Berastagi, SMA

2

Negeri 1 Lubuk Pakam, SMA Negeri 1 Sidikalang, SMA Negeri 2 Plus Sipirok,
SMA Negeri 2 Kisaran, SMAN 2 Balige etc.
Based on observation during done training teacher program in SMA
Negeri 1 Tebing Tinggi, there are two main gaps: (1) chemistry teachers’ English
skill is low and (2) the quality of Bilingual chemistry books was not standard from
their content and language. The standard categorize is from Curriculum Education
Unit. To reach the objectives of RSBI and SBI, both of those gaps should be
solved. Experience in training school showed that the biggest gap was english
skill of chemistry teacher in RSBI was low. It’s mean that senior teachers who are
mastered in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics could not teach their
subject matter by using English. None of teacher is able to used English while
teaching and learning process. They used English only in opening session and
closing session. This gap will be solved because State University of Medan has a
Bilingual program for Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science. Candidate of
professional International teacher will be graduated next year. The second gap is
the qualities of Bilingual chemistry books are not standard from their contents and
language. Students use Mathematic book, Chemistry book, Biology book, and
Physics book in Indonesia version. Bilingual books as a supplement. To overcome
this gap, it’s important and interesting to develop chemistry learning module
which would be standarized in content, language, and its presentation.
Module is a complete unit, independently, it consist of a series of learning
activities that is arranged to help students in reaching the objectives that has
formulated specifically and clearly. Module is a set of curriculum that is prepared
to learning autonomously. Module learning give chance for students to learn by
their style, so they use different technique to solve certain problems based on their
knowledge background (Nasution, 2005). But in this case module is designed as a
learning media that consist of learning materials. It is created communicatively.
The material will be discussed is clear and measurable. It is concerned in learning
activities of people who use it (Munadi, 2008). Module is a printed media that can
help teachers to increase their students’ achievement. According Sunyoto (2006),

3

learning module could improve student’s achievement in automotive mechanicengineering of SMK Panca Bhakti Banjarnegara course year 2005/2006. From the
calculation of tcount is bigger than ttable means that students using interactive
learning module have better learning performance.
Factually, learning chemistry can be concluded that, (1) chemistry is not
famous subject matter for students; (2) chemistry is not able to improve students’
cognitive ability; (3) chemistry make a gap between teacher and students; (4)
chemistry has not improvement. Even thought school programs have an effort to
develop students’ conceptual understanding, but there is no relationship among
the materials (Burhan, 2008). The material in chemistry is needed to be
developed. Especially in topic Oxidation and Reduction Reaction that is difficult
to be understood by students. Usually teacher explains this topic by conventional
method, difficult language to be gotten, and inappropriate learning media.
Based on gaps above, it is better to develop a module that is written in
Bilingual version, and it has standardized content to help teaching and learning
chemistry in Bilingual class, RSBI, to create effective learning. The writer is
interested to do research with the title “The Development of Chemistry
Learning Module to Increase Student’s Achievement on the Teaching and
Learning of Oxidation and Reduction Reactions”.
1.2. The Problem Identification
Based on the background explained above, there were some problems
which identified to make the research be formed. The problem identification were:
1. How does the sequence of chemistry materials to be arranged in the module in
order the topic of Oxidation and Reduction Reactions is easy to be learned and
it meet the curriculum education unit?
2. How to make learning module in topic of Oxidation and Reduction Reactions
be attractive, easy to be understand, can increase the students’ achievement in
order it can be used to help students to learn chemistry?

4

3. How do the chemistry teachers opinion on the standard learning module in
topic Oxidation and Reduction Reactions?
4. How does the effectiveness of learning module in topic Oxidation and
Reduction Reactions can be used to increase students’ achievement in
chemistry?
1.3. The Problem Formulation
The problem formulation of the study were:
1. Did the sequence of chemistry materials that will be arranged in the module in
order the topic of Oxidation and Reduction Reactions was easy to be learned
and it meet the curriculum education unit?
2. Did teachers’ perception that learning module had fulfilled the standard
categorize?
3. Did the learning module in topic Oxidation and Reduction Reactions could
increase students’ achievement class X, academic year 2012/2013?
4. Did the learning module in topic Oxidation and reduction reaction effective to
be used in increasing student’s achievement?
1.4. The Scope of Research
There were so many problems that had identified; the writer limited the
problems as below:
1. Developing and standardizing module in topic Oxidation and Reduction
Reactions will be concerned on the content, language, and its presentation.
2. The sources of module that will be developed are from minimal 4 chemistry
books that usually used by RSBI or SBI students.
3. This module will be assessed and revised by chemistry teachers, chemistry
lecturers and the students until the resulting product of learning modules.
4. The trial of learning modules for teachers and students is limited.

5

1.5. The Research Objectives
The specific research objectives were:
1. To arrange the sequence of chemistry materials in the module in order the
topic of Oxidation and Reduction Reactions is easy to be learned and it meet
the curriculum education unit.
2. To observe chemistry teachers’opinion on the standard learning module in
topic Oxidation and Reduction Reaction.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1. Conclusion
The conclusion after the research was conducted were:
1. The

analysing

of

some

chemistry

book

grade

X

for

bilingual

students,especially for oxidation and reduction reaction topic are not fully
meet the standards competency and basic competency feasibility of content,
design presentation and feasibility of language, with book code A is 40% ,
book Code B is 65% , book Code C is 55%, and book Code D is 65%. It
caused by those book are not communicative (understandable language),
materials are explain briefly, some of them didn’t present the introduction, and
something that make readers interested.
2. The standarization that was conducted by three kinds respondents, those are
chemistry lecturers who actively teach in International and Bilingual class
students in State University of Medan, chemistry teachers, and International
students grade XI. They assessed the chemistry module with the value 3.42
means that the sequence of chemistry materials in the module in order the
topic of oxidation and reduction reaction is easy to be learned and it meet the
curriculum education unit can be arranged.
3. Chemistry teacher who taught oxidation and reduction reaction actively have
positive perception think that learning module have fulfill the standard
categorize, with The average of questionnaire which assessed by chemistry
teacher is 3.47 . It can help them to prepare their learning sources, and it used
as learning media, so the learning activities are more active, and students also
prepare theirselves at home by learning module.
4. Learning module is effective to increase student’s achievement in HG but not
in LG. It can be seen from the average value of post test-I by using module is
higher than chemistry book. The student’s achievement in posttest-I using
module for high class (77.37 ± 6.21) is higher than control class (70.48 ±

53

5.45), and for low class by using module (74.71 ± 7.30) is higher than by
using book (72.49 ± 7.16).
5. The resistance of learning module obtained by doing post test-II two weeks
after postest-I,and the affectivity percentage of developed learning module
(109.49%) is higher than with chemistry book (108.92). The developed and
standardized chemistry learning module is effective in increasing the student’s
achievement on chemistry.

5.2. Suggestion
Based on the result of research which has conducted, the authors suggest that:
1. Before using a chemistry book or a chemistry learning module, teacher should
check the overall of the book, especially the material content, its language, its
presentation design layout, so the teacher should select it before consumed by
students.
2. The developed and standardized chemistry learning module with the title:
Oxidation Reduction Reaction or RSBI and SBI students

grade X was

recommended for used as a teaching and learning media in RSBI school.
3. Chemistry teacher should master all contents in chemistry module and master
the way of using module before consumed by students, and students should
bring it while teaching and learning process.
4. For the next reseacher it is better using observation sheet for students and
teacher as authentic data while teaching and learning process.
