The Design of Development of Context and Creativity Based Teaching Materials to Improve Scientific Literacy for Grade V Elementary School Students

This development research develops Context and Creativity-based teaching materials to improve the scientific literacy of fifth-grade elementary school students. This research is motivated by the 2013 curriculum teaching materials that do not display the context and creativity of elementary school students so that students’ scientific literacy is low. This development research uses the Borg & Gall development model which uses ten steps, namely research and data collection, planning, development preliminary form of product, preliminary field testing, main product revision, main field testing, operational product revision, operational field testing, final product revision, dissemination, and implementation. The design of the development of teaching materials starts from planning, processing, and evaluation to produce teaching materials that are appropriate to the context, student creativity, and increase scientific literacy. The teaching materials were tested on students and teachers and validated by linguists, materials, and media. From the student and teacher response data as well as the validation of the validator, effectiveness was tested through the t-test.
