Preliminary analysis of Bukik Chinangkiek edupark’s potential as a learning resource for physics in senior high school at X Koto Singkarak Solok, Indonesia

Abstract

“Alam takambang jadi guru” is a Minangkabau philosophy that is suitable implemented in the learning process. Nature tourism in Indonesia is very supportive for the implementation of contextual physics learning, one of which is Bukik Chinangkiek Edupark. Bukik Chinangkiek has natural conditions and rides related to physics for example rotational dynamics but it has not been utilized in physics learning. This study aimed to analyze the potential of Bukik Chinangkiek as an edupark-based learning resource for physics. Analysis was carried out with the Plomp development model at the preliminary analysis phase. The data of this study were obtained from questionnaires and interviews along with teachers and students in high schools throughout X Koto Singkarak Subdistrict, while concepts relevant to physics subject matter were obtained from direct observation of Bukik Chinangkiek Edupark. The technique of data analysis was descriptive percentages. Analysis shows that learning physics has not been integrated into the surrounding natural environment so students have not understood the concept of contextual physics and most students tend to use IT in learning. The results of this study is intended to be used as the basis for developing digital book of edupark (e-book) for high school.
