Abstract. Referring to primary data collected through observation and interview to natural
science teachers and some students, it is found that there is no natural science teaching
materials in the form of learning modules that can make learners learn independently, build
their own knowledge, and construct good character in themselves. In order to address this
problem, then it is developed natural science learning module oriented to constructivism with
the contain of character education. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct valid module of
natural science learning materials. This type of research is a development research using the
Plomp model. The development phase of the Plomp model consists of 3 stages, namely
1) preliminary research phase, 2) development or prototyping phase, and 3) assessment phase.
The result of the study shows that natural science learning module oriented to constructivism
with the contain of character education for students class VIII of Yunior High School 11
Sungai Penuh is valid. In future work, practicality and effectiveness will be investigated.

1. Introduction
Education is all the efforts undertaken to educate people so they can grow and develop and have the
potential or ability as appropriate. The Government is seeking various things to improve the quality of
learning by improving the curriculum. What has recently been done is the improvement of the
education unit level curriculum (KTSP) into the 2013 curriculum.
Development of curriculum 2013 focused on the formation of competence and character of learners
in the form of alloy knowledge, attitudes, and skills that can be applied learners then follow the
development of times. As one of the general lessons in junior high, science becomes one of the
subjects that can support the formation and integration of the students' character values. Science
subjects are expected to be a vehicle for learners to learn about themselves and the environment, as
well as further development processes to be applied in everyday life. Science learning should
encourage learners to be able to construct their knowledge independently through learning experiences
(Sudarisman, 2012).
Based on the results of preliminary observations conducted schools, researchers found things that
become problems in science learning. From the source of books in the library are still lacking in

meeting the needs of learners for the learning process, especially science subjects, learners rely solely
on the explanation of teachers as sources and centers of learning information to them, have never used
teaching materials such as modules, learners do not have Book packages or other teaching materials as
a handle, learners have difficulty to build their own concepts, the ability of learners is still low in
constructing the initial knowledge and still need to be guided by the teacher in constructing the initial
knowledge, because subject of science lessons are still less enough according to learners, Being one of
the factors that resulted in not all learners can construct knowledge initially well.
The existence of early knowledge to make learners can easily follow the learning process well. This
is accordance with the theory of constructivism that the success of learning depends not only on the
environment or learning conditions, but also influenced by the early knowledge of learners. Student
learning outcomes are also closely related to the understanding of learners in understanding the
concept of science subject matter and it is very important to do in the learning process (Patrianingsih,
2015). But not all learners have the same speed to understand the concepts of the subject matter
discussed in the classroom. It is necessary for learning materials that can focus the capabilities of
individual learners and can be studied independently with limited assistance from teachers with the
aim of complementing the knowledge initially corresponds to the speed of learning to learners.
One that can solve this problem is teaching materials in the form of learning modules. Modules are
teaching materials that are arranged systematically with language that is easily understood by learners
and can be studied independently with limited help from teachers or educators (Purwanto, 2014).
Modules are also printed materials that are designed to be learned independently by learners in
learning, which has advantages in accordance with the principle of module writing is the feedback of
the module so that learners can evaluate themselves (Director of Teaching Personnel, 2008).
In addition, the module also has many advantages compared to other written teaching materials,
such as the purpose of learning more clearly and the ability of accommodation to the difference in the
pace of learners in understanding the material (Nasution, 2010). Furthermore, according to Mulyasa
(2006) module is a teaching material that contains learning materials are arranged in a systematic,
operational and directed to be used by learners because it is accompanied by guidelines for its use.
Sudjana and Rivai (2003) revealed that the purpose of learning with the module is t students able to
follow the learning according to their own speed and ability.
In the results of previous studies, it turns out the module can help learners in understanding the
material Biology. One of them is the result of research conducted by Elpitriani (2012) about the
development of constructivism oriented biology learning module with a mind map. From this research,
it is known that the module is very effective used in Biology learning in SMA and it can be seen that
the use of module can improve learners' success in the material of excretion system. In learning using
the module, learners can learn individually in the sense that they can adjust their learning speed with
their respective abilities. In addition to the module, learners can measure their level of mastery of the
given material.
A module as a delivery system in the learning process will be more optimal if oriented to a
particular approach. One approach used in the development of this module is the constructivism
approach. Based on these problems, the development of materials or guided learning resources,
systematic, in accordance with the needs of learners, because with the exposure of structured materials
will also help learners in building conceptual understanding and enable learners to learn
independently. Independence of learners is expected to improve the ability to think and can measure
the extent to which the level of understanding of the material through evaluation. One of the teaching
materials that can make learners learn independently is the module.
The success of learning depends not only on the environment and learning conditions but also the
initial knowledge of learners. Such knowledge can not be transferred intact from the teacher's mind to
the learners, but actively built by the learners themselves through real experience. To support the
improvement of students' understanding, so that learners can develop their initial knowledge and to
learn more can be more meaningful, then the learning module is equipped with one of the learning
approaches is the Constructivism approach. According to the Constructivism approach, learners

construct existing knowledge with their own experience to form new knowledge. Nurhadi (2003)
argues in the view of constructivism, knowledge grows and develops through experience.
Understanding develops deeper and stronger if always tested with new experiences.
Constructivism learning is a learning that develops learners' thinking to learn more meaningfully by
working alone, finding their own, and constructing their own new knowledge and skills (Sumiati and
Asra, 2007). Basically, learners do not bring empty heads to school, but actually, they already have the
initial knowledge or concept of something based on experience in everyday life (Lufri, 2007).
In learning using constructivism emphasizes the development of skills, skills and thinking of learners
(Isjoni in Sutisna, 2013). With the constructivism approach, the development of knowledge for
learners can be done by the students themselves through research activities or direct observation, so
that learners can channel new ideas in accordance with experience by finding facts that fit with the
study of theory. Learners are also required to be able to link existing knowledge with new knowledge
as well as experience in the learners (Tjulifa, 2013). This is the advantage and characteristic of the
Constructivism approach than any other approach.
Science learning should encourage learners to be able to construct their knowledge independently
through learning experiences (Sudarisman, 2012). Science learning according to Constructivism
perspective contains four core activities, which are related to initial knowledge, real experience, social
interaction and environmental sensitivity (Nuryanti, 2005 in Sudarsiman, 2012). By using
constructivism-oriented modules it is hoped that learners can form new understandings based on their
initial knowledge and learning experience. After learners understand the learning materials they are
expected to become more motivated in learning.
In the development of learning-oriented constructivism-oriented science-learning module is used
curriculum 2013. Curriculum 2013 aims to change the attitude of learners to be more polite through
the values of character education contained in it. This means that if you have the attitude and mentality
are praise-worthy learners will be able to absorb science well and certainly be a clean generation.
Science learning is one of the substances of national education that make an important contribution
to the character formation of learners. This is in accordance with Junarso's opinion in Setyaningrum
and Hasamah (2012). Character as a result of education brings meaning to life in society. Therefore,
the importance of understanding the value of the characters implemented in the science lesson.
According to the Minister of National Education (2010), character education in Biology subject is
health care, religious, independent, tolerance, friendly/ communicative, social care, responsibility, and
caring environment developed in accordance with the needs and conditions of learners in society.
Character education in this module is written explicitly on the subject of learning activities so that
learners will indirectly learn about the characters that must be known. With this character, education is
expected that learners not only get good output in the form of cognitive learning outcomes only but
also form their (affective) attitude for better, so that between the cognitive and affective learning
results obtained learners to be balanced. Learning using constructivism-oriented learning modules and
character education-charged allegedly can help the understanding of learners so that learners can easily
digest, remember and summarize the subject matter well.
The science-oriented instructional module constructivism is characterized by a character education
developed to be tailored to the 2013 curriculum that provides the opportunity for learners to learn in
their own way and ability and facilitate learners in understanding the material learned and improve
effectiveness and efficiency in achieving learning objectives and enriches source of reading for
learners.
Departing from the observations above, it is appropriate if in science learning a teacher can use
teaching materials that can bring up the initial knowledge of learners, making learners can build their
own knowledge, and improve understanding of the concept and motivation of learners that will lead to
learning outcomes which are desired.
Based on the background that has been described, the authors are interested to conduct research
entitled "Validity of Learning Module Natural Sciences Oriented Constructivism with the Contain of
Character Education for Students of Class VIII at Yunior Hight School ".

2. Development Methods
This research type is research development (development research). Another term often used for
research development is design research (design research), this term is used by Plomp. Research
development is an attempt to develop and produce a product in the form of materials, media, or
learning strategies used to solve problems in the classroom and not to test the theory.
The stages of development of learning module of science-oriented constructivism-oriented character
education using the Plomp model are as follows.
1.Preliminary Research Phase
Activities are undertaken at this stage, as follows.
1.1. Needs Analysis and Characteristics of Learners.
This analysis is conducted to determine the characteristics of the modules that students want, to
examine the character of learners who become the target users of developed products and determine
the module that the teacher wants as a tool in the learning process. Activities undertaken at this stage
are, interviews with teachers and learners using an interview guide sheet. The results of the needs
analysis are taken into consideration in the design and development of modules.
1.2. Curriculum Analysis.
At this stage, a review of the curriculum is conducted. The analysis is carried out on the competence
demands set forth in core competence (KI) and basic competence (KD). This analysis is conducted
with the aim of determining the order and scope of the required material in accordance with the
existing basic competencies, viewing the sequence of materials, identifying the material, presenting
the problems in the material relating to daily life in accordance with the indicators and learning
objectives. The results of this analysis are used as guidance in developing modules.
1.3. Textbook Analysis.
The textbook analysis aims to find out the problems in the textbook such as the suitability of the
content of the book with the Core Competence (KI), Basic Competence (KD) based on the 2013
curriculum so that it can be the basis for formulating the study material on developed modules.

2.Development and Prototipyng Phase

This phase begins after the preliminary research phase is completed. This stage aims to design the
problem solving that has been identified at the initial identification stage. This phase has a microscope
that helps in developing and improving the end result of the product. Activities undertaken in
developing prototype include designing and developing the prototype, can be explained as follows.
2.1. Development of Prototype I.
The design of Prototype in the early stages is called prototype I evaluated by self-evaluation by
revising the IPA module designed using a check list. The evaluation itself is done to check the design
errors that exist in the module. Next prototype I was revised and then continued at prototype II
development stage. In order for a questionnaire instrument to be used, it must be validated first.
2.2. Development of Prototype II.
Prototype II is a development stage by consulting with experts (expert review), ie IPA module
discussed to the experts to obtain a valid IPA module. Validated aspects include aspects of the
construct, content aspects, graphic aspects, and language aspects. Based on validation result, revision
of IPA module is developed. In order for a questionnaire to be used, instrumentation validation was
previously performed..

1.1.Results of Needs Analysis and Characteristics of Learners.
Needs analysis is conducted to determine the characteristics of modules used in order to attract
learners in the learning process. Based on interviews with learners obtained information that learners

are more interested in the module with the complete material, clear writing, interesting to read, easy to
understand or understand, and have a clear and interesting picture.
Based on the results of interviews with teachers SMP Negeri 11 Sungai Penuh Elni Fainofri, S.Pd
obtained the information that in the learning process learners do not use teaching materials due to
limited availability of teaching materials at school. This causes only teachers who hold and use
instructional materials in learning while learners do not get the teaching materials. Teachers revealed
that in the process of learning IPA learners still look passive, learners just copy what the teacher wrote
on the blackboard and did not find other sources as supporting their understanding, learners receive
more explanation from the teacher or listen to the teacher's lecture.
In addition, according to the teacher, the book of learners used by teachers in learning so far has not
been presented in a complete and directed. For example in KD 3.6 should the presentation of the
material must be complete and the order is clear, such as the material starts from the digestive system
of food, the organ and digestion of food channels, the digestion of food both mechanically and
chemically / enzymatic, and the linkage between digestive system with respiratory system and blood
awareness system . While the presentation of the material in the book package only discusses the
definition of food (energy needs and six types of nutrients) and food digestion channels while the
linkage between the digestive system with the respiratory system, blood conscious system has not seen
the discussion on the packaged book as a demand on KD 3.6.
Therefore, teachers expect the teaching materials with the delivery of complete and directed
material in accordance with the KD demands that have been established, where the first submitted is a
concept that must be understood besides that followed by its application in life. Then the teacher
expects teaching materials that facilitate learners in understanding the lesson, can make learners can
build their own concepts, and able to make all learners participate actively in learning activities.
Based on the results of the needs analysis of the characteristics of students then designed learning
module science oriented constructivism charged character education. The learning-oriented science-
oriented constructivism module is expected to be able to answer the expectations of teachers and
learners. This is because the presentation of a systematic module and clear images will facilitate
learners in understanding the subject matter. Constructivism approach will enable learners in the
learning process because constructivism approach will guide learners in finding the concept of
learning in accordance with predetermined objectives so that later learners will be able to build a true
concept by linking the new knowledge they can with their initial knowledge have.
1.2.Results of Curriculum Analysis.
Curriculum analysis aims to determine the Core Competence (KI) and Basic Competence (KD) that
has been established in the standard content of science subjects. The results of KI and KD analysis
contained in the content standard are translated into indicators of learning achievement.
The character-oriented constructivism-oriented IPA module developed from KD 3.6, 4.6 and KD
3.7, 4.7 with multiple submissions of competency achievement indicators. The curriculum analysis
that produces indicators of achievement is different from the presentations in the teacher manual and
the learners. In teacher handbooks and students the presentation of materials in KD 3.6 and 4.6 begins
with the digestion system of food, food (energy needs and six types of nutrients) and food digestion
channels, whereas in the module developed the presentation of the material begins with the digestive
system of food (understanding the digestive system, food and its functions, energy needs, six types of
nutrients), food digestive organs, food digestion channels, food digestion process, as well as linkages
of the digestive system with respiratory system and blood-conscious system. This is done because
based on the KD that has been established in the content standard, that learners must understand the
concept of the digestive system as well as the linkage between the digestive system with the
respiratory system and circulatory system.
Whereas in KD 3.7 and 4.7 in teacher handbooks and learners the presentation of the material
begins with natural and artificial additives and addictive substances-psychotropic, while in the module
developed the presentation of the material begins by explaining the definition of additive and mention
the type of additive substances in the food consisting of the natural and artificial coloring, sweetening,

preservatives and flavorings of food, explains the notion of addictive substances consisting of non-
narcotic addictive substances and psychotropic substances, addictive substances of narcotics and
psychotropic addictive substances and explains the negative effects of addictive and psychotropic
substances for health and Proposed the idea of solving the circulation problem of psychotropic
addictive substances in Indonesia. This is done because based on the KD that has been specified in the
content standard, that learners should understand the concept of additives naturally and artificially in
foods and beverages and addictive substances-psychotropic substances and their effects on health and
how to solve the problem about substance abuse- psychotropic addictive.
1.3.Results of Textbook Analysis
Analysis of the book is done in the handbook of learners, this analysis aims to know the contents
and presentation of content as a comparison for module development. Where the presentation of the
material on the handbook of learners there that is correct based on the demand of KD is in the
handbook of learners have been explained understanding the digestive system of food and organs in
the digestive system of food and the handbook of learners already using a learning approach that is the
scientific approach and the picture presented in the handbook of learners is quite complete only there
are still some pictures that are less clear because the picture is blurred and the description is not
complete. Analysis of the handbook of learners conducted by researchers with three components
namely systematic, content and assessment. From the results of this analysis note that there are still
some weaknesses in the handbook of learners. First, there are some material points that should be
included in the picture to be clearer, but not included. Second, the image in the material presentation
looks less clear because the picture is blurred and the description is not complete, such as the image of
the oral cavity and anatomical structure of the small intestine, should be presented images must be
clear and representative for learners more interested in reading and learners easily know the meaning
of the picture presented. Third, the presentation of the material on the packaged book is still
incomplete and directed so that learners need the help of others such as teachers to explain the
contents of the book. Consequently, communication takes place in one direction and learners have a
tendency to passive in the learning process.
2.Data of Development and Prototipyng Phase.

b. Prototype II (Self Evaluation)
The results of the evaluation itself indicate that the module components already exist and
accordingly. However, there are some errors that occur that there are some posts whose letters are not
complete so that its meaning becomes unclear, in the picture, there is not yet have the source. After the
evaluation, it was revised by improving the incomplete writing and complete the source on the
drawing so that the resulting learning module of science-oriented constructivism is characterized by
character education.
c. Prototype III (Expert Validation)
In prototype III development stage, the formative evaluation activity is done that is seeing the
validity of learning module of science-oriented constructivism based on character education based on
expert's judgment which includes four aspects of construct, content, graphics, and language and
legibility. Evaluation tool used is a validation sheet of learning module science oriented constructivism
charged character education. Validation is done by six expert validators. In addition to assessing the
module, the validator is also required to provide suggestions for improvements to the module. The
suggestions provided by the validator are then used as a reference to revising the developed module.
Data of validation of learning module of science learning oriented constructivism with character
education can be seen in Table 1.

1.Validity of Science Constructivism-oriented Learning Module Loaded Character Education

The validity of science-oriented instructional module constructivism-charged character education

is rated very valid by the validator. This is obtained from the data analysis of the validity value given
by each validator with four aspects of the assessment, namely the aspects of constructs, contents,
graph, and language. According to Trianto (2010) valid means that the assessment has provided
accurate information about the developed teaching materials, teaching materials in the form of
modules developed otherwise valid after meeting the aspects of the construct, content aspects, aspects
of graft, and language aspects. The results of the product validity assessment on the constructed aspect
into the category is very valid. Based on the above-mentioned modules are developed in accordance
with this competence, basic competence, and defined learning objectives.
In the content aspect, the module is declared very valid. Validity in the aspect of the content
provided by the validator due to indicators of achievement of competencies has been prepared and
sorted by KI and KD in the curriculum 2013. The module also contains materials, learning material
constraints, instruction learning activities, exercises designed systematically and interesting to achieve
competence Expected. In addition, in the module, there is also a way of evaluating each submateri that
aims to learners can learn by themselves. This is in line with the opinion of Sudjana and Rivai (2003),
the purpose of teaching with the module is that learners can follow the teaching program according to
their own speed and ability, more self-study, can know their own learning result, and emphasize the
optimal mastery of learning materials Mastery learning) with a mastery level above 80%. Based on the
above, the module developed has been in accordance with defined learning objectives.
Further validity is assessed from the aspect of the graph, in terms of aspects of the module of graph
expressed is in very valid category. A very valid value is given a validator based on some indicators.
First, it states that the module design is interesting. The developed modules are designed to be as
attractive as possible using Microsoft office word 2007 and Microsoft office publisher 2007 programs.
Second, fonts are used in more than one type with clear font sizes being read. The reason for the use of
some types of letters is to add to the attractiveness of a character-oriented constructivism-oriented
module of character education, to avoid the boredom of learners while reading, and to distinguish
between material and titles. Muslich (2010) argues to distinguish and get a combination of display
letters, can use variations and series of letters.
Third, the suitability of the presentation of the image. This is evidenced by the image on the
module can be seen clearly, the image of the quotation includes the source and description of the
image in accordance with the given image. This aims to facilitate learners in understanding the images
displayed so that the images displayed can clarify the concept of material that must be understood by
learners. This is in accordance with Rustaman (2002) that the module should be well designed to
attract readers, both in size (paper, letters, and pictures) and from the variations. The same thing is also
expressed by Galitz, et al (in Festiyet, 2008) the display of interesting learning media with images and
objects in accordance with the demands of the material, will increase the interest of learners to the
learning materials. Furthermore, Pratowo (2011) said that the presentation of the drawings is needed to
support and clarify the contents of the material because in addition will clarify the description can also
increase attractiveness and reduce the sense of boredom learners to learn it.
The last validity assessed is the aspect of language and readability. Assessment of the language
aspects of the modules developed is in very valid categories. This is due to the structure of the
sentences used in accordance with the EYD, in accordance with the level of understanding of learners,
simple, clear and unambiguous, making it easier for learners to understand the learning activities in the
module, and communicative. Hamdani (2011) stated that the things that need to be considered in the
preparation of the module are the accuracy in preparing the sentence so that the module is composed
communicative and easy to use as a learning guide for learners. This is also reinforced by Prastowo
(2011) module is basically a teaching material that is arranged systematically with language that is
easily understood learners, according to their knowledge level and age.

The four aspects of the validation of learning content learning module validated by constructivism
containing character education that has been described is a unified whole and mutually supportive for
the perfection of learning-oriented constructive science-oriented learning module developed character
education. Based on the results of the analysis of the prevalence obtained an average value of 91,07%
is with very valid category. According to Sugiyono (2008), a measuring instrument is valid if it can be
used to measure what should be measured. The same thing is also stated by Arikunto (2012) if a data
generated from a product is valid, then it can be said that the developed product has provided a
description of the development goals correctly and in accordance with reality or the real situation. A
very valid assessment of the learning-oriented constructivism-oriented IPA learning module developed
