Development of Biotechnology Textbook Based on Bioinformatics Research

Abstract

Learning for undergraduate students needs to pay attention to the development of science and technology. Based on the results of the Biotechnology level of undergraduate students' needs assessment, it is known that the teaching materials have not used the bioinformatics approach. However, bioinformatics is a significant study in this course. One of the alternatives to achieve the goal of learning is to develop textbook-based research. The textbook was designed based on research on the potential analysis of quercetin compounds in apples as anti-autism by reverse docking. The study aims to develop a textbook for the biotechnology course. The method to the development of a textbook on this research used a development of Dick & Carey model. The study involved 3 students for the individual test, and 9 students for small group test. The results of validation from the material expert, media expert, and learning practitioner are 96%, 91%, and 93%, while the results of students' tests are individual test 84% and small group test 86%. All validation results show a very valid category with revisions according to expert advice and readability from students. The textbook developed can be used as materials for undergraduate students in courses relevant to the content of textbook, especially Biotechnology courses in the Biology Education department.
