Abstract

Learning the materials about Animal Kingdom tends to be memorizing activities. Students assume that the materials are difficult to be understood because the characteristics of this materials are descriptive and full of anatomy and morphological terms in order to eliminate the students’ difficulties regarding the material about the Animal Kingdom. This research aimed to obtain learning materials of animal kingdom topic which was prepared based on students’ prior knowledge. Research and Development method was used to develop this learning materials. This learning material is made based on students’ prior knowledge and developed in accordance with propositions from the main references. There are 9 main propositions found from the references. Then the sub propositions made and developed into some sentences that is easily to be understood by students. The trial was conducted on 30 tenth-grade students. The research subjects were the tenth-grade students consisting of two classes, but were not separated in the discussion and data analysis because this research did not compare understanding and skills between one student and others in another class. The result showed that students as the user of these learning materials were interested in invertebrate topic and also the exercises. The integration of learning materials and computer-based quiz are important to facilitate students’ meaningful learning in 21st century.
