Sahroni . states that education is an organized system and carries a fairly broad mission, namely everything related to the development of thoughts, feelings, will, physical, health, skills, social. Education has an influence on the progress of the nation. This is in line with the opinion of Sirate & Ramadhana . the role of education in a nation is very important, because without human education it will be difficult to develop. In this case, the teacher has a role in improving the quality of education. Teachers in the learning process, one of the parties responsible for improving the quality of education, are expected to have reliable expertise, skills and abilities in carrying out their duties as educators (Suprihatin & Manik . One form of the teacher's role in education is compiling teaching materials that help students learn independently. Teaching materials as a tool that helps teachers in conveying material play an important role. Teaching materials are used as supporting facilities in the learning process. The teacher's ability to process teaching materials affects students' understanding of the material being taught. Teachers who are able to manage teaching materials according to students' needs will motivate students to understand the material. One type of teaching material that students can use in learning is modules. Modules are made to encourage students to be able to work independently in constructing practicum procedures to solve given problems (Raehanah . This means that students can operate the learning module themselves. In this case the teacher can only be a facilitator in the learning According to Yaumi . a module is a small unit of learning that can operate independently. The use of modules can be carried out by students and with the help of teachers in solving problems. This is in line with the opinion of Hasanah dkk . that modules can help students learn independently where the teacher becomes a facilitator in learning. Therefore, the module is commonly referred to as a self-learning package. The position of the module in the section on achieving learning objectives is quite important. Rusdiana . explains that modules are structured to help students achieve a number of goals that are specifically and clearly Thus, through the learning module students can learn independently, without the help of educators. This was also confirmed by Hasanah dkk . and Raehanah . that learning modules are structured so that students are able to learn independently and as reference materials and evaluation tools for students. One of the appropriate materials for learning with modules is constructing scientific The material for constructing scientific work is material contained in Basic Competency 4. 15 learning to construct a scientific work by paying attention to Constructing is material that appears in the even semester of the senior high school (SMA) level. Learning on this material is intended to train skills in students. Students are asked to produce scientific work. Given the importance of this material, students should be able to produce scientific work that is in accordance with the right content, systematics and language. But in reality in the field students still have difficulty in writing scientific papers in accordance with these demands. Therefore it is necessary to develop modules that help students solve learning problems regarding constructing scientific work. Scientific work is the result of critical thinking on a problem. According to Sutrisna . scientific work is the http://publikasi. id/index. php/curricula CURRICULA: JOURNAL OF TEACHING AND LEARNING result of carrying out scientific research and scientific research is a form of operationalism of scientific thinking. Another opinion was expressed by Hasanah dkk . scientific work presents a description, idea, argumentation or problem solving that is empirical and from theory to prove its truth. The contents of scientific works try to describe a scientific discussion carried out by a writer or researcher(Dalman, 2014:. In a scientific work, it does not only describe the existing problems, but solutions and supporting theories related to these problems are explained in standard language. The learning module developed uses project based learning stages to make it easier for students to understand the material in constructing scientific work. The suitability and attractiveness of the module will increase students' interest in reading the Research that was conducted by Susanti dkk . In this research, modules designed with project based learning stages are very practical to use in The difference with research conducted by researchers with previous research is in the material developed. Based on the problems that exist in schools, the material constructing scientific work is less attractive to students. Besides that, there is a lack of availability of teaching materials that focus on this material. Based on the results of observations made at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging, it is known that there are problems encountered in understanding the material for constructing scientific work. First, students' interest in the material of constructing a scientific work is still lacking. Second, students experience difficulties in constructing a scientific work. Students understand the material of scientific work, but when asked to construct scientific work students experience difficulties, especially in determining coherent thoughts and choosing words for each paragraph. Third, the unavailability of modules that focus on one particular material. The teaching material used by the teacher to teach material for constructing scientific work for class XI students at SMA N 1 Sungai Geringging is an Indonesian language textbook. Fourth, the teaching materials used by teachers at SMA N 1 Sungai Geringging have not been able to help students produce scientific Sani . argues that Project Based Learning is learning with long-term activities that involve students in designing, making, and displaying products to solve problems in the surrounding environment. Project-based learning can enhance student Students are able to understand the material more deeply after completing the project so that students are better able to apply their knowledge in solving problems in real life (Anazifa & Hadi, 2. Learning through a project-based learning model is also able to encourage students' sense of responsibility, build selfconfidence, solve problems, communicate ideas, and organize themselves to work more effectively. Project Based Learning is learning that requires a long period of time, focusing on student activities to be able to understand a concept or principle by conducting indepth investigations of a problem and finding relevant solutions and implementing them in project work, so that students experience a meaningful learning process by building own knowledge (Asri, 2016:. According to Sutirman . there are advantages in learning based on Project Based Learning, namely students become active, improve students' ability to analyze a concept, familiarize students with working systematically, and increase student Project Based Learning can enhance student learning. Students are able to understand the material more deeply after http://publikasi. id/index. php/curricula CURRICULA: JOURNAL OF TEACHING AND LEARNING completing the project so that students are better able to apply their knowledge in solving problems in real life (Anazifa & Hadi, 2. In this study, what will be explained is the practicality regarding the use of learning modules to construct high school scientific work. Practicality is known after the Indonesian language teacher Class XI and class XI students use the learning RESEARCH METHODS This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) research using the 4-D (Four-D) model. Stage 4-D consists of four stages, namely defining, designing, developing, and deploying. The subjects of this development research trial were Feni Susanti. S,Pd, an Indonesian language teacher in class XI IIS 2 at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging and nine students from class XI II2 at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging. Students according to the recommendations given by the Indonesian teacher for class XI II2 SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging. The instrument used to collect data in this development research is a practicality questionnaire. There are three aspects of the extreme practicality used. First, the aspect of ease of In this aspect there are three that are assessed, namely clarity of presentation, clarity of language in modules, and projectbased learning. Second, suitability with Third, attractiveness. In the aspect of attractiveness, there are two things that are assessed, namely the display design and the readability of the font. Data collection is done by. The data collection technique was that after teachers and students used the distributed practical questionnaires to teachers and students. Both parties will be asked to fill out a module practicality questionnaire that has been provided by the The data that has been obtained from the questionnaire distributed to teachers and students is then analyzed with a Likert scale with a scale of 0-100 using the following formula. Practical value = Score obtained X 100% Maximum score (Riduwan, 2013:. Table 1.

Project based learning can help students produce products in the form of scientific work in accordance with the objectives of the module being developed. Elisabet dkk . explained that learning with a project-based learning model can help students be more creative and train students' creative and creative ways of thinking so that learning objectives can be Project based learning directs students to learn independently with existing stages to solve existing problems. addition, students are also required to produce a project or work (Priatna 2017:. The step taken to produce valid teaching materials is to carry out a needs analysis of teaching materials in schools. The results of the four needs analyzes at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging. First, curriculum analysis was carried out by studying the 2013 revision of the 2018 curriculum because the school used the revised edition of the 2013 curriculum. Second, characteristics shows that in terms of the physical characteristics of students at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging, they are children aged 16-18 years. At this age students have been able to think to solve problems in a good way. The student learning style preferred by students at Sungai Geringging 1 Public High School is in the form of kinesthetic style. Third, the analysis of the material shows that in learning to construct scientific work at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging the main concepts of material for constructing scientific work consist of: . understanding of scientific work, . characteristics of scientific work, . types of scientific work, . structure papers, . language rules in Fourth, the analysis of objectives shows that from the learning curriculum at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging on the material of constructing scientific work, students are required to be able to write scientific papers in the form of papers. Based on the needs analysis that has been carried out, the researchers designed a learning module to construct scientific work based on project-based learning in class XI SMA. The design refers to the results of the needs analysis at SMA Negeri 1 Sungai Geringging. in terms of material, content and issues in the project based learning stage adapted to the circumstances and conditions of students at school. The content in the module is designed with project-based learning stages. This is in accordance with the objectives to be achieved in learning using the developed module, namely students are able to produce products in stages. After the product is designed, the next stage is the product being validated by an expert validator. The results of the validation of learning modules developed generally show an average score of 90. As for the elaboration of the aspects assessed, namely the feasibility aspect of the content getting an average percentage of 89. 00% with a very valid category, the presentation feasibility aspect is research on the systematics of titles, learning instructions.
