Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop educational innovations by researching and experimenting the structure and evolution of stars, creating a main concept of learning modules, and measuring the effectiveness of the learning modules. The creation of learning exchange activities based on the following 3 main ideas: mechanical and thermal equilibrium, energy and nuclear reaction and spectrum analysis. The learning modules were divided into 4 phases relating to the main concepts. Learning modules were tested and evaluated the effectiveness. The sample was a group of 100 persons who were 37 science teachers and 63 students of Faculty of Education, science major by using a 10-item multiple-choice assessment as a research tool. The results found that the learning module was able to significantly improve the knowledge of the target group. The mean of the pre-test scores was 3.77 (S.D=1.869) and post-test scores was 9.63 (S.D=0.720). The effectiveness of learning outcomes after using the stellar module found that all subjects had the learning outcomes of 100%, of which 74% of the subjects had excellent learning outcomes of 100%. According to the obtained results, it could be said that the stellar learning modules about stellar structure and evolution were able to create real knowledge for the target group effectively.
