Abstract

This research aims to describe the process of developing the Fuzzy Delphi instrument to identify elements of the applied physics learning module integrated with STEM and Augmented Reality or AR (PhyARECi-STEM learning module). This questionnaire was developed based on the national standards of higher education analysis in Indonesia, Hilda Taba's curriculum model, module elements found in literature, interviews, and focus groups with experts. The study is descriptive. The 50-item questionnaire relates to learning outcomes, content, process, and assessment. Nine experts conducted the validity evidence of the Fuzzy Delphi questionnaire to ensure content validity. Subsequently, the questionnaire was distributed to 30 respondents to obtain reliability. The data analysis techniques used for validity and reliability were the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Cronbach's alpha. The study's results demonstrated the validity of the Fuzzy Delphi questionnaire, as evidenced by an I-CVI value within the range of 0.89 to 1, an S-CVI value of 0.99, and a Kappa value within the range of 0.89 to 1.00. Furthermore, the reliability of the questionnaire was also established, with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.974. Therefore, the Fuzzy Delphi instrument, validated and demonstrated to be reliable, is now ready to be employed to identify the fundamental elements of the PhyARECi-STEM learning module via expert consensus.
