Abstract

This study aims to develop teaching materials for the buffer solution based on Science, Environment, Technology, and Society (SETS) to improve the science process skills. The research method used is development research, while the method of development of teaching materials used is 4S-TMD. This article is the first part of the development of teaching materials that includes selection and structurization steps. In the selection step, developing the indicator accordance with the curriculum requirements, explaining the buffer concept using standardized textbook sources, and analyzing SETS that can be integrated with the buffer concept. In the structurization step was developed concept maps, macrostructures and multiple representations that connect between the level representations of macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic. The results of the selection and structurization steps were evaluated by expert lecturers. The results show that the teaching materials developed are in accordance with the curriculum requirements, it has been ensured the scientific truth, the phenomena presented in accordance with SETS and concept maps, macrostructures, and multiple representations developed have been valid. The first part of the development of teaching materials that includes the selection and structurization steps results in a draft of teaching material for the buffer solution based on SETS.
