Abstract
This study aimed to describe the activities in the field trip of animal ecology course and describe the identification and classification skills of students at Animal Ecology course. Also, this study describes students responses on-field activities. This study uses a quasi-experimental method using only post-test design. Data analysis using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The research subject as many as 30 students to take the test and 40 students are given a questionnaire. The results showed that the CPL course and CPL subjects not relevant to the fact that in both CPL there are some points the use of science and technology, the reality in the learning process technology, it is also supported by student response on the issue. The identification and classification skills of students included in the category sufficient. Analysis of Pearson correlation between the identification and classification skills showed no significant relationship (-.107), it is contrary to some assumptions that states that the ability to identify a basis for classification capability. Thus the results of this study can be used as an input or reference to the development of the program of courses, especially in the subject of animal ecology. Keywords:Animal ecology fieldtrip; Classification skills; Identification Skills ebird
Highlights
Animal Ecology Lecture is one of the lecture activities that studies the interactivity between animals and their environment
Based on the analysis of documents and the questionnaire responses of students it can be concluded that the RPS at CPL course and CPL subject irrelevant to reality, it is shown that the CPL course and CPL subject mention of the use of science and technology, the application of science and technology and to use advances in science and technology is inversely proportional to the questionnaire responses of students
Concluded that the use of science and technology in Animal Ecology lectures have not been applied in the learning process or practicum/field study
Summary
Animal Ecology Lecture is one of the lecture activities that studies the interactivity between animals and their environment. With direct field activities students can observe the actual objects in the field, providing a good learning experience for students (Thomas, et al, 2017; Surasinghe, et al, 2012; Nelson, et al, 2016). Fieldwork activities should develop with new methods or approaches along with the development of science and technology and the need for scientific progress. With a new method or approach is students are expected to possess the ability identification and classification skills are good. Field trip can be developed to improve identification skills of students (Thomas, et al, 2017; Gill, et al, 2015; Penuela, et al, 2016; Friggers, et al, 2015; Robinson, et al, 2016), and classification skills of students (Resheff, et al, 2014; Bom, et al, 2014; Schuld, et al, 2015)
