Validation and Practicality of Biotechnology Teaching Materials Ethnoscience Based to Improve Students’ Entrepreneurial Interests

Abstract

The aim of this research is to produce ethnoscience-based biotechnology teaching materials that meet valid and practical requirements to facilitate students in learning about fermentation material. This research is development research (R&D) which is motivated by the need and understanding of ethnoscience-based biotechnology for students and the limited teaching materials to support learning. The development model used is the ADDIE approach (Analysis, Planning, development, implementation and evaluation). Data collection instruments in this research were observation sheets, interview sheets, validation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The data collection techniques used are validation analysis and practicality analysis. Ethnoscience-based biotechnology teaching materials were validated by 3 validators and revised according to suggestions from the validators, and tested on 18 chemistry education students to see the practicality of the teaching materials. The validation results for teaching materials were 81.5% in the valid category and the product trial results were 83.33% in the very practical category. The results of data analysis show that the ethnoscience-based biotechnology teaching materials developed have met the valid and practical criteria for use by chemistry education students at The Teacher Training and Education Faculty (FKIP) of Universitas Serambi Mekkah.
