Analysis of Suitability, Breadth and Depth, Measurement Material in Science Books for Senior High School Grade X
Keywords:
Teaching material evaluation, Merdeka Curriculum, physics measurement, HOTS development, learning outcomes, data analysis, uncertaintyAbstract
The evaluation of physics teaching materials is essential to ensure alignment between content, instructional approaches, and strategies with the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the suitability, breadth, and depth of content in the chapter Measurement Systems in Scientific Work from the Senior High School Physics textbook in relation to the learning outcomes set by the Merdeka Curriculum and students' cognitive development. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through document analysis, examining the material’s content against the learning achievements of Phase E. The results show that the book presents fundamental concepts of measurement, measuring instruments, and measurement errors systematically and in line with curriculum structure. However, aspects such as uncertainty, data processing, and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are still limited. A lack of contextualized exercises, investigative experiments, and scientific reflections is noted. Strengthening the integration of STEM, data exploration, and problem-based activities is essential to improve the depth and meaningfulness of learning. This evaluation recommends the revision of teaching materials to be more adaptive to 21st-century student needs and fully support the Pancasila Student Profile.
