LEARNING TOOL DEVELOPMENT TO TRAIN THINKING SKILL OF BIOLOGY STUDENTS USING THE PRIMA LEARNING MODEL
Abstract
The purpose of the research development is to produce the learning tool to train thinking skill of
biology student in genetic subject by using the PRIMA learning model. The research was designed
by using Dick and Carey (2005) learning developement design, and it was conducted through 3
learning steps which is adapted from Carin (1993), they are: 1) guided discovery, 2) less structured
guided discovery, 3) free discovery. The data was qualitative and quantitative data consist of
learning tools validity, the result of the learning process by giving the formative test to the students,
observation result to learning process and students thinking skill, and feedback information from the
students, it was analysis after the learning process. The test result was 70% students and it was
indicated that students complete in learning, they know about the concept in genetic subject after
given the test. At the other said, average percentage of the learning process and students thinking
skill was minimal 75%. The research was result the valid learning tool, practical and effective which
can be used in learning process to train students thinking skill. The result of validation show that
learning tool can be used (in valid category). The result of limited trial show that the learning tool
was developed is practical and generaly can be said effective if looking from the test result and
student thinking skill.
