How Shall a High School Pupil Use a Biology Textbook?

It has often been stated that the modern high school pupil does not possess ordinary skill in the common arithmetical processes. He has met unfavorable criticism in this respect not only from the college professor, who reports him unable to perform correctly the easy numerical work of the laboratory, but also from the man of business who frequently claims that the high school boy who finds his way into commercial life, cannot even add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Food Digestion

This study aimed to develop a digestive system textbook based on STMCpE for grade XI high school. The textbook is set to be a contextual textbook with problem-solving characteristics in the "Food Digestion" material. Food digestion was selected based on the consideration that it contains the scope of science related to technologies that can be engineered by considering mathematical calculations. Food digestion materials also bear contextual problems in the community regarding nutritional security. Hence, students are expected to solve problems regarding the availability of food as an appropriate source of nutrition. The STMCpE textbook was tested its validity, practicability, attractiveness, and effectivity. A pretest-posttest design was applied—quasi-experiment research method with Pretest-Posttest without the control class. Analysis of the data is used by the mixed method, which is the result of qualitative and quantitative data. The sample used was 30 students of class XI high school with problems. The result is that students' critical thinking skills are very good.
