THE DEVELOPMENT OF LECTORA INSPIRE MEDIA WITH SCIENTIFIC BASED APPROACH FOR TEACHING REDUCTION-OXIDATION REACTION THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY

In the era of information and communication technology, teaching methods and computer-based learning is increasingly being used to improve the quality of learning in the classroom. One of the attempts to develop the learning process is to use interactive media. Interactive media can facilitate students to get a better understanding of Reduction-Oxidation Reactions and assist teachers in the teaching with scientific based approach by producing Lectora Inspire media in learning the topic of Reduction-Oxidation Reactions for high school students. In the development of instructional media, researchers collaborate with teachers of other subjects through the implementation of Professional Learning Community. Research and development methodology is implemented as the research approach. The stages of the study consisted of a needs analysis, instructional media development, eligibity test, and product revision. The results of feasibility studies by content experts showed that the instructional media, Lectora Inspire, categorized as good where the r-value is 0,70. The results of eligibity test by media experts shows that learning media. Lectora Inspire, categorized as good where r-value is 0,79, while the results of feasibility studies by Teaching and Learning experts show the instructional media, Lectora Inspire, categorized as excellent where the r-value is 0,81. The results of eligibity test in small groups and large groups showed that the presentation and the media content achieve very good results where the interpretation of the score ranging from 75-100. The results of this study indicates that through Professional Learning Community could produce and develop teaching materials, in the form of Lectora Inspire, properly and suitable as a chemistry learning media for the topic of Reduction-Oxidation Reactions at the high school level.
