The Validity of the Integrated Physics Module for Natural Disasters and Mitigation for Middle Schools

This research aim was to test the validity of the integrated physics module for natural disasters and mitigation for middle schools. This research uses research and development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Specifically for this research, it is limited to development. Specifically for this research, it is limited to development. The analysis in the analysis phase includes material analysis and regional potential analysis. The material analysis results show that several materials can be integrated with natural disaster materials, namely particle dynamics, heat and displacement, and static and dynamic fluids. At the design stage, two stages were carried out: the physics module's design and the validation instrument's preparation. At the development phase, validation of the physics module is carried out. Improvement or revision of the module product based on the validation sheet and suggestions from the experts involved. The research data is quantitative data based on the data from the validity of the physics module. The study used a validation assessment sheet instrument. The validity data analysis technique uses a Likert scale. The results of the validation of the physics module for aspects of content, construct, linguistics, and graphics obtained an average value of 89.8% which is categorized as valid. Therefore, the integrated physics module for natural disasters and mitigation that has been designed is declared suitable for use in physics learning according to the material and level of middle school education and can be tested for practicality and effectiveness.
