PRAKTIKUM EKOLOGI BERBASIS PROYEK: MEDIA PEMBEKALAN KETERAMPILAN ESENSIAL LABORATORIUM
Abstract: Up to now in
learning ecology, especially its practical work, many people still use the
guidebook of the practical work, such as recipe which is not optimal in
developing the essential skill of laboratory. As a result, the students [the
candidate of the biology teacher]mastery of the laboratory essential skill is
still low. Actually, the practical work of ecology is very interesting because
it be carried out in the open air nature. However, this nature laboratory has
not yet exploited very well in the activity of ecology practical work. In
addition, the conduct of this practical work has not yet been the science
project basis in the condition of eco-biological local area.Ecology has the
activity aspects of exploration, experiment, and observation. Based on the
three aspects, the ecology practical work should be project basis where
practical work students themselves make
the design outline of the practical work which they will conduct. In addition,
They also solve the problem and produce the products. The students can conduct
the research by collecting, organizing, analyzing data and writing the report
of their research. The project evaluation should be carried out for
preparation, implementation, and result. Therefore, through the practical work
of ecology, the indicators of the laboratory essential skills should be
well-formulated on every practical work topic which is conducted. These skills
are the basic ones as the pre-requirement
of the further skill development, such as some procedures, processes and
method which scientist uses when s/he constructs the knowledge and solve
problem in scientific work.
