Making teaching materials by utilizing the Cibodas Botanical Garden in an effort to improve plant literacy and classification skills of high school students

Abstract

The development of teaching materials by utilizing the Cibodas Botanical Garden (CBG) to train plant literacy and plant classification is currently not yet developed. Teaching material by utilizing the KRC was made to determine the feasibility and readability of teaching materials, train students in improving the ability of plant literacy and classification of plants, and student responses to teaching materials. The method used in this study is the ADDIE development method. The subjects in this study were 24 students of 10th grade high school students whose school was close to CBG. The instrument used was the validation sheet, cloze test, plant literacy questions, matter of plant classification, and student response questionnaire. The results showed that the average percentage of the feasibility of teaching materials is 88.85% with very decent criteria. Readability test obtained a percentage of 67.1% with high criteria. The plant literacy test obtained an N-GAIN value of 0.35 with moderate criteria and an increase in the plant classification test obtained an N-GAIN value of 0.31 with moderate criteria. Furthermore, the analysis of student responses obtained 84.1% with good criteria. Based on these results, it can be concluded that teaching materials using the KRC are appropriate and can help students improve their literacy and classification abilities.
