ANALISIS KELAYAKAN BAHAN AJAR PENCANDRAAN TUMBUHAN BERBASIS PROTOTYPE HUTAN PEMBELAJARAN UNTUK PEMBELAJARAN KONTEKSTUAL

Abstract

This study aims to determine the feasibility of developing contextual teaching materials based on learning forest prototypes. The development product analyzed was in the form of a textbook entitled “Pencandraan Tumbuhan Berbasis Prototype Hutan Pembelajaranâ€. Research and development of teaching materials were conducted using research and development (R and D), adapted from Thiagarajan's 4D model. The stages of the model are Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Through this research and development, contextual teaching materials were developed as a student guide to describe the morphological characteristics of plants at the learning forest prototype location. In this teaching material, the activities of describing plants are carried out in the Learning Forest Prototype. The steps of student activities describe the plants contained in the teaching materials that were studied and analyzed for feasibility in this research. Furthermore, the research and development products were validated by experts. The result of the validations shows that the teaching materials of plant-based learning forest prototypes for contextual learning are feasible to be applied in biology learning, plants morphology especially. The feasibility can be seen from the average score of the feasibility of teaching materials, which is 92.27%. Based on the result of the research on the feasibility analysis of these teaching materials, the researcher gave suggestions to the lecturers of the plant morphology course that to facilitate students in learning to describe the morphological characters of plants, it could be carried out by utilizing plant-based learning materials for learning forest prototype.
