2. Biology Learning Tools
3. Learning Methods and Mechanisms
4. Instructional Media
The biology learning material that I teach comes from a curriculum in the Philippines called Matatag Curriculum for Science Grades 3 - 10.
The material I teach is intended for Grade 7 Second Quarter - Life Science students.
The Learning Competency that I teach is point 5, namely Recognize that cells reproduce through two types of cell division, mitosis and meiosis, and describe mitosis as cell division for growth and repair.
The objective of learning point 5 is Cell Reproduction.
In this biology lesson, 3 learning tools are used which function as a reference for the teacher in teaching the material to students, namely :
a. Acid Plan
b. Lesson Plan
c. IBLK (Inquiry Based Learning Kit)
Note: In the process of working on learning tools, the sequence must be from Acid plan, then continued with Lesson plan and finally IBLK.
The following are the results of making my Acid plan, Lesson plan and IBLK:
The learning method used has several stages, namely:
a. Elicit Card: An opening activity to start learning after which short questions are given to students.
b. Engage Card: Activities that use stories where the story is related to the material being taught and then ends with a short question to students.
c. Explore Card: Conduct experiments according to the theme taught.
d. Explain Card: An activity where students are given short questions related to the material and experiments being taught.
e. Elaborate Card: An activity that uses 2 activities and the media used is called tarpapel (learning media prepared by the teacher in the form of picture sticks or similar). Students will advance according to their groups and answer the tarpapel by sticking it.
f. Evaluate Card: This activity is carried out by distributing worksheets to students to work on as their evaluation after learning the material taught (questions in the form of multiple choice and true or false).
g. Extend Card: This activity is carried out where students are given assignments to be done at home and collected at the next meeting.
The learning media used in learning are:
1. Power Point.
2. Learning and Experiment Videos.
3. 2-sided tarpapel containing 2 activities.
The following is Tarpapel which includes 2 activities used in learning:
