Abstract

Sumba Island has cultural characteristics that can be integrated into science learning, including Sumba woven cloth. The process of making Sumba weaving has cultural and scientific value. This research aims to determine the meaning and ethnoscientific value of making Lambaleko woven cloth. This study used qualitative research methods. This data was obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. The instruments used in this research were observation sheets, interview sheets, and documentation. The data analysis involves data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The research results show that the tools and materials used in the weaving process are traditional tools and materials with varying classifications, showing the biodiversity level on the island of Sumba. Making Lambaleko weaving consists of eleven stages: a) preparing tools and materials such as Mbola, Bei tonnu, Koba, Malirra, Ghunna, Ghobola, Laketta, Bedo, Kalerre, Tent, Laka, Kalamaka, Ghobola ghunna, Ghobola zodo, Rande, Tukka, Kanagho, scissors and thread, b) tools starting to be assembled on the Mbola, c) unfurling the warp threads on the Bei tonnu, e) removing the weave from the Mbola, d) winding the threads on the Kanagho, f) straightening the threads on the woven fabric, g) installing the Rande, h) installing Tukka, i) installing Ghobola ghunna, Ghobola zodo, j) making motifs, and k) the process of making weaving until it becomes cloth. The weaving process is also related to physical material, frictional forces, pressure, gravitational forces, biological material, plant biodiversity, and chemical material, additives. In conclusion, Lambaleko woven cloth has ethnoscientific and cultural values that the community believes to be used in science learning related to biodiversity, friction, pressure, gravitational forces, and additives.

Abstract

This study aimed to implement ethnoscience in analyzing pandan mat making in Wewewa Tengah and evaluating its implication as a learning source in science education. This research focused on studying the pandan mat-making process in Wee Patando Village and identifying its scientific contributions to traditional practice. Applying a qualitative research method, the data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, the research instruments used are observation sheets, interview guides, and documentation. The data were analyzed through several stages: reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that the pandan mat-making process involves several stages, including collecting pandan leaves, sorting, removing its thorns, drying, ware (scraping), rolling, tirri (dividing), weaving, melekuk (locking), and dumbi (placing pandan). The main challenge is in the drying process of pandan, which is affected by high humidity during the rainy season and may impact the quality of the mats. This study's contribution lies in applying scientific concepts to the traditional pandan mat-making process, such as plant physiology, the leaf structure and its function, the physical properties of materials, and principles of heat transfer and friction. The findings emphasize that the pandan mat-making process can serve as a concrete example for understanding science subjects, particularly in plant physiology and material physics. In science education, this research recommends integrating ethnoscience knowledge from pandan mat-making into the curriculum to enrich students' learning experiences. By understanding how scientific concepts are applied in traditional practices, students can see the relevance of science in daily life and enhance their comprehension of academic material through concrete and relevant examples.
