Abstract

Sumbawa society is rich in culture, especially in traditional medicine. People use materials from the surrounding environment, including plants and animals, as active ingredients for medicine. Newborn babies and toddlers are susceptible to blockage of the respiratory tract with mucus. In babies, it is usually caused by an imperfect suction process, while in toddlers, it is caused by bacteria or viruses. The Samawa people use a mixture of cuttlefish (Sepia sp.) and eucalyptus oil as a medicine that effectively removes mucus from the body. The active ingredient in cuttlefish has an unpleasant odour and cannot be stored for long. When they need cuttlefish, people must look for them in markets or traders on the coast. Of course, this takes time to use. The ointment production innovation has many advantages, including practicality, no fishy smell, ease of obtaining, and ease of storage for the long term. Using the natural active ingredient lemongrass, essential oil adds aromatherapy and provides warmth to the chests of babies and toddlers. Natural active and gel-based ingredients are safe to use without side effects. The ointment was tested for active ingredient content using GCMS and organoleptic tests for gel stability, spreadability (homogeneity), pH, and skin irritation. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that the ointment product is made from an anti-skin irritation gel base, pH 7, and gel spreadability of 5.5 cm. The active substance comes from cuttlefish Sepia sp. by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme and reducing the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an essential inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of asthma and bronchitis. The simple production process means that the price of the ointment is within people's purchasing power.

Abstract

The implementation of the Curriculum Merdeka was already implemented in 2022. Teaching modules are one of the new terms in the implementation of the Curriculum Merdeka (IKM). Teaching module is another name for lesson plans (RPP) in the 2013 Curriculum, but it is more complex and can be used as teaching materials that can be modified by teachers. Science learning, especially chemistry, requires students to understand science facts and concepts in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to develop teaching modules that can make learning more contextual. An approach that can be integrated into developing teaching modules is the green chemistry approach. Chemistry learning, which is generally abstract, can be linked to the environment so that learning can be more contextual. The development of teaching modules that contain learning steps and integrate the principles of green chemistry in the form of experimental activities is expected to increase students' learning independence and science process skills. This research is a type of development research that refers to the steps of the ADDIE model. The feasibility of the teaching module developed was analyzed using a Likert scale and a percentage of agreement (PA) formula. Based on calculations, the average validity value of the teaching module was 3.9, with very valid category. Meanwhile, the percentage of agreement obtained 79%, which means the teaching module is reliable. Based on these conclusions, the teaching module developed is feasible to use because it is included in the valid and reliable category
