Validation of an Ethno-Science-Based PBL Model for Inspiring Entrepreneurial Mindsets in Biotechnology

Abstract

The Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Universitas Serambi Mekkah University is one of the oldest universities in the city of Banda Aceh. Therefore, in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, lecturers are obliged to carry out research in various fields. To develop this research, the researcher focused on developing the Project-Based Learning (PBL) model. This research aimed to determine the validity of the results of developing an ethnoscience-based biotechnology module within the PBL model, which is used to increase student interest in entrepreneurship in the chemistry education program at Universitas Serambi Mekkah. The development of the PBL model was adapted from the ADDIE model. Based on validation analysis research on the ethnoscience-based biotechnology module using the PBL model, it was found that it can increase students’ interest in entrepreneurship. This was developed using the ADDIE method and validated through a test using an instrument sheet with a Likert scale by three experts (validators). The assessment looked at categories such as the quality of learning material, content, language use, module conformity, and physical quality of the module. The assessment obtained an average score from the three validators of 3.30, with the valid category (can be used without revision). Thus, this ethnoscience-based biotechnology module using the PBL learning model can increase the entrepreneurial interest of chemistry education students.
