Abstract

This research is a development research (R&D) which aims at identifying the feasibility and effectiveness of Natural Sciences Module based on scientific approaches for Interaction of Living Things topic. It employed pre-experimental design with One-Shot Case Study. The module developed is a printed module employing Four-D model adapted from Thiagarajan (1974). The module consists of three learning activities and it is systematically presented using scientific approaches (observing, questioning, trying, associating, and communicating) to improve 7th Graders’ cognitive accomplishment. The results show that students’ cognitive accomplishment in Learning Activity I was 80%, Learning Activity II was 83.34%, and Learning Activity III was 96.64%. It means that students’ have achieved Minimum Mastery Criteria. It can be concluded that the developed module is feasible to be used in learning to improve students’ cognitive accomplishment.
