The four main elements of SETS can have positive
and negative effects depending on the management.
When college-students can link the four elements, they
will always think of the short term and long term by
analyzing the conditions and collaborating new ones so
that they are intended for something good to be
achieved. In Natural Science learning through the SETS
approach, the lecturers can
direct college-students to
look for positive and negative impacts that might arise
due to the application of Natural Science into the form
of technology. Therefore, it does not adversely affect
the environment,
can provide solutions, and meet the
needs of surrounding communities. College-students are
invited to discuss and seek better technological
solutions through the SETS approach based on their
initial knowledge.
“Education with SETS
insight can make science
and technology literate, while at the same time paying
attention to the interests of the community and the
health
of the surrounding environment, mental, and
spiritual”. (Binadja,1999).
Based on the above quotation, SETS-oriented
education is an educational concept that is needed in the
4.0 era because this approach collaborates between
Natural Science, as a science that must be studied while
being adjusted to technological
developments in order
to be a solution to meet people's needs, and still pay
attention to the surrounding environment.
b. Natural Science learning with online module
One learning source of Natural Science courses
that can be used by college-students of Primary School
Teacher Education (PGSD) in Ahmad Dahlan
University (UAD) is online module.
Learning Natural
Science with online module is an implementation of
digital technology. The Digital Module with the title
"ADVANCED NATURAL SCIENCE" is used as
teaching material for Advanced Natural Science Course
for college-students of PGSD UAD in their second
semester.
In this digital module, there contains explanation of
Course
Descriptions, Initial Ability Tests, Module’s
Instructions Guide, Learning Activities 1, Learning
Activities 2, Learning Activities 3, and Learning
Activities 4. The learning
material contained in the
Digital Module of Natural Science Learning can be
seen in table 1.
