ANALSIS DAN PERANCANGAN KAMUS BAHASA ILMIAH TUMBUHAN BERBASIS ANDROID

The scientific name of living things, especially plants, is one of the things that is basically very interesting to learn and know, because the scientific name of living things provides an important role, among others with scientific names it will easily know the characteristics, relationships of relatives, and interactions of living things in the environment. Knowledge of plant classification has generally been taught to high school students and MIPA students or biology majors, but interest in learning about plant taxonomy is still low due to the source of information that is not yet widely available. Therefore, the development of learning media is needed one of them by building an android-based plant scientific language dictionary application that can be one of the alternative learning media for students and students. The algorithm applied is sequential search that performs search faster because the search process is already in order. That way the interest in learning students and students about the scientific language of plants can be encouraged by the spirit in learning by using this learning medium. Based on the research that has been done, the application of the scientific language dictionary of plants can be used by students, students and the public as a means of learning in understanding the scientific names on each plant that is equipped with the alphabetic menu a-z and plant categories and search features to make it easier for users to find plant names

APPLICATION OF PLANT DETERMINATION PRATICUM MODEL BASED JAS (EXPLORING THE SURROUNDINGS) IN KELIMUTU NATIONAL PARK

This study aims to use a model and learning tools with the JAS (Natural Exploration) approach integrated in the plant taxonomy course on plant determination. The research method in this research is descriptive using a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in September - November 2019 in the odd semester of the 2019/2020 school year. Population and sample The population in this study were 43 students of the Biology Education study program, University of Flores. The sampling technique in this research is non probability sampling with purposive sampling technique. The sample used was 43 students in the study group (rombel) of the plant taxonomy course, odd semester 2019/2020. The research location is in the Kelimutu National Park. The result of this research is that the implementation of the taxonomic learning model based on natural exploration is considered quite interesting and can encourage meaningful teaching and learning activities. According to the results of interviews with biology students, this method has advantages, including (1) being able to improve understanding of taxonomy courses, which identify plants, (2) Being an attractive medium to trigger learning motivation because it is related to the real context around it, (3) it can guiding those who have been less concerned with the richness of their local culture by motivating them to be more proud of exploring the nature around their community, and (4) guiding to view taxonomy material as meaningful lessons, not just memorized concepts.

Amended description of the Sumatran endemic Dendrobium bandii (Orchidaceae) with notes on its conservation status and ecology

Dendrobium bandii is a poorly known species endemic to the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. We studied living specimens and we provide here an amended description of the species, colour photographs, as well as information on distribution, ecology, and its provisional conservation status. Key words: Dendrobieae, Epidendroideae, Malesian Flora, Plant taxonomy, Sumatran Biodiversity

BIOLOGY EDUCATION STUDENTS’ ANALYSIS OF REASONING ON PLANT TAXONOMY COURSEWHITE RASCH MODEL

ANALISIS PENALARAN MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN BIOLOGI PADA MATA KULIAH TAKSONOMI TUMBUHAN DENGAN MODEL RASCHAbstractThe reasoning is the stage of thinking that tries to connect facts or evidence to reach conclusions. The reasoning includes thinking and reasoning skills that support the formation and modification of concepts. The complexity of learning stages and reasoning gives results in inequality or low levels of reasoning owned by students. This study aimed to analyze the reasoning of students in the Plant Taxonomy course. This research used a descriptive quantitative design. This research used a test instrument administered on 36 students of Biology Education of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang with data collected using questions with indicators based on Toulmin's assessment (2003). The data analysis was conducted by analyzing the level of individual ability (person measure) to determine students' reasoning ability. The data analysis showed that one student had a logit person score of +3.05, namely student number 02, with a high reasoning category. There were twenty-four students, with a medium reasoning category. Two students have the lowest logit person score, namely students 08 and 14, with a logit person score of -0.49. The results indicated that generally, students had difficulty finding plant taxonomy concepts; therefore, thinking needed to be taught more in-depth, so students could manage the information received and conduct a good reasoning analysis in problem-solving.AbstrakPenalaran merupakan tahap berpikir yang mencoba menghubungkan fakta atau evidensi untuk mencapai kesimpulan. Penalaran mencakup keterampilan berpikir dan bernalar yang mendukung pembentukan dan modifikasi konsep. Kompleksnya tahapan belajar hingga pada tahap penalaran, mengakibatkan adanya ketidakmerataan atau rendahnya tingkat penalaran yang dimiliki oleh mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penalaran mahasiswa pada Mata kuliah Taksonomi Tumbuhan. Jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Penelitian menggunakan instrumen tes yang dilaksanakan pada 36 mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan soal dengan indikator berdasarkan asesmen Toulmin (2003). Analisis data dengan menganalisis tingkat abilitas individu (person measure) untuk melihat kemampuan penalaran mahasiswa. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat satu mahasiswa yang memiliki nilai logit person +3,05 yaitu mahasiswa nomor 02, dengan kategori penalaran tinggi. Terdapat dua puluh empat mahasiswa, dengan kategori penalaran sedang. Terdapat dua mahasiswa yang memiliki nilai logit person paling rendah, yaitu mahasiswa 08 dan 14 dengan nilai logit person -0,49. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, secara umum mahasiswa banyak mengalami kesulitan dalam menemukan konsep taksonomi tumbuhan sehingga perlu lebih dalam mengajarkan cara berpikir mahasiswa, sehingga mahasiswa dapat mengelola informasi yang diterima dan melakukan analisis penalaran yang baik dalam memecahkan masalah.
