Development of the popular scientific book of Nepenthes diversity in Tanta District forest areas, Tabalong Regency: Validity and Practicality

Abstract

Developing teaching materials based on local potential is necessary for introducing objects in the surrounding environment to support student learning. This is expected to broaden the insights and knowledge of students so that they become more familiar with and know the object of the material being taught. Wetlands are the dominant area in the South Kalimantan region and can be one of the learning resources in producing a product that can support learning at all levels of education; this can be in the form of local potential-based teaching materials, one of which is a popular scientific book. This study aims to describe the validity and practicality of popular scientific books based on the results of research on the Diversity of Semar Pockets (Nepenthes) Forest Areas in Tanta District, Tabalong Regency ". The validity and practicality tests were carried out at the Preliminary field testing stage used in the Borg and Gall model development research at the validity test stage involving two validators, while the practicality test involved 30 students who had passed the Phanerogamae course. The results showed that the Popular Scientific Book "Diversity of Semar Bag Species (Nepenthes) in the Forest Area of Tanta District, Tabalong Regency," obtained a very valid and very practical category. The results of this study indicate that the popular scientific book prepared can be used further to test its effectiveness on the learning process and outcomes. Abstrak.
