Development and Usability of Divigen Kit For Cell Division Topic In Biology Subject

This study aims to develop DivigenGen Kit, an innovative teaching aid that consists of interactive and systematic elements for Cell division topic in Biology subject. The innovation which employed developmental research design, has satisfied validity and excellent usability. DivigenGen Kit consists of three key components: a Pop-Out Book, DiviGen Replica, and Quick Test Series to support both visual and hands-on learning. A total of 22 Biology students from SMK Bukit Garam II, Kinabatangan, Sabah was chosen as the samples by using simple random sampling technique. The instrumens used are usability questionnaire and validation form for DivigenGen Kit. Content Validity Index and Means was used to analyse validity and usability, respectively. The results demonstrated high usability, with a reliability score exceeding α > 0.86. The kit also achieved outstanding validity, with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.93 for content validity and 1.00 for face validity,
confirming its alignment with learning needs and curriculum objectives. In conclusion, the DiviGen Kit enhances teaching effectiveness by simplifying complex concepts like genetics, fostering deeper understanding among students. It offers an engaging and interactive learning experience, helping to shift the perception of Biology as a difficult subject and encouraging more students to pursue science streams. The kit's innovative design holds significant potential for transforming the teaching and learning of Biology.
