Media needs of plant anatomy practicum on digital microscope blended learning system on student naturalist intelligence

Abstract

Naturalist intelligence of students is rarely measured by lecturers and the anatomy practicum media of blended learning systems based on digital microscopes has never been applied by lecturers as a plant anatomy practicum on campus, then conducted research with the aim to determine the media needs of plant anatomy based on microscope towards student naturalist intelligence. This research is a quantitative study using the True-Experimental Design design with the design of the Posttest-Only Control Group. The population in this study were all level II students of Wiralodra Indramayu University which consisted of 3 classes with a total of 96 students. The sampling technique using the cluster random sampling type probability sampling technique obtained Bio C class as the experimental group and Bio A class as the control group. The instrument in this study is a student's naturalist intelligence test which consists of 5 questions. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the average in the experimental class was 74 and the control class was 63.75. With a significant level (α) = 0.05 and degrees of freedom (db) 62, tcount = 28.29 and table = 2,000. Because tcount> t table. This means that the media needs of plant anatomy practicum on digital microscope-based blended learning system have a significant effect on the naturalist intelligence of prospective students of biology education teachers.
