Science Teaching Aid Kit Made of Recycled Materials: Solution to Improve Conclusions Making Skill Through Practicums at Home During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

. Covid-19 brings challenges to science practicum activities, which were initially carried out in laboratory to become at home. With this drastic change in learning, development research will be carried out in the manufacture of science teaching Aid Kit made from recycled materials that are practical and effective in increasing the ability to make student conclusions on pressure material for grade 8 th at one of the Islamic Junior High Schools (MTs) in Ponorogo. The research method used was R&D through questionnaires and tests, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive statistics, quantitative descriptive, and inferential statistics using the t-test. The results of the study showed that science teaching aid kit developed practical and effective use showed a better difference in increasing the ability to conclusion making significantly (α = 0.05) and the acquisition of an N-Gain value of 68.93 or in the moderate improvement category.
