Abstract

This study aims to develop and determine the usability of AgroBio Module from the perspective of Biology teachers in Kinta District. The design used in this study is based on Behaviorism Learning Theory using ADDIE Model. A total of 28 Biology teachers from 13 secondary schools in Kinta Utara, Perak were chosen as respondents through a random sampling method. The instruments used in this study were expert validation, reliability and usability questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale. All the instruments were valid and reliable for this study. The data were analysed using percentage of expert agreement to determine validity, Cronbach alpha for reliability and mean for usability of the module using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The finding shows that the developed AgroBio module has a good validity and reliability with 85.8% of expert agreement and Cronbach alpha value 0.82 with the level of module usability of mean, M=3.52, and standard deviation, SP=0.50. In conclusion, the AgroBio Module has good validity, reliability and usability and is suitable for use in fourth grade Biology teaching. Implications from this study suggest that the development of AgroBio Module can integrates the elements of agricultural science and project-based teaching strategies can be used as an additional teaching to teach the topic of Biology and to increase the interest in students.
