This research purposed to describe quality of learning support material prototype on Energy topic for Junior High School. The quality that focused in this research were (1) validity and (2) practicality aspects. Guided inductive inquiry (GII) is a learning model to facilitate students to have a comprehensive understanding of concepts, develop complex thinking skills, and help internalize understanding of concepts within students that they can use to solve problems, develop competencies, and improve learning outcomes.

 

This research used Mafumiko’s Model to develop prototype of learning support materials based on design research. This study conducted at SMPN 1 Tanah Grogot, Paser Regency, East Kalimantan and involved 3 (three) subject matter experts (SMEs) and 2 (two) observers during classroom tryout.

 

The result of validity criterium according to the SMEs for the GII learning support materials showed in the Table 1 and Table 2.
