Abstract

The role of learning media as a direct or indirect object for students cannot be ignored in the learning process. However, most teachers have not yet fully utilized geographic information system technology as a learning resource or representative media for learning in schools. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize GIS technology in the development of digital map media integrated with QGIS software and the Avenza Maps application in learning materials on the basics of mapping. The general objective of this study is to utilize digital map media based on QGIS and Avenza Maps to improvespatial thinkingstudents. The method used is research and development or Research and Development using the ADDIE development model. Based on a limited trial of the effectiveness of the media at SMA Negeri 2 Gorontalo, it shows that there are 34 students who were tested who achieved a mastery score of 31 students, while in a wider trial at several high schools the results showed that digital map media is very good for use in schools in the learning process. This is evidenced by student mastery data in evaluating the learning process with a presentation value between 80-100%. The presentation results are included in the category (Very Good) thus digital map media based on QGIS and Avenza maps are very good for use in the learning process.

Abstract

This study aims to develop, validate, and evaluate the practicality and effectiveness of a Geography teaching module based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) for Remote Sensing material to enhance students' spatial thinking skills at SMAN 4 Gorontalo. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the 4D development model, consisting of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. Research subjects included students from classes X.7 and X.8, as well as Geography teachers from seven public senior high schools in Gorontalo City. Expert validation results indicate that the module is "highly feasible," receiving an average feasibility score of 94% from module experts and 91% from material experts. The practicality level is classified as very good based on classroom observations of teacher activity (97%) and student responses (92%). The module's effectiveness is demonstrated by significant improvements in learning outcomes, with N-Gain scores of 0.68 for class X.7 and 0.69 for class X.8—both categorized as moderate improvement. These findings reveal that the PjBL-based module successfully enhances spatial thinking skills, increases student engagement, and effectively supports the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The module is recommended as an applicable and contextual learning resource for Geography teachers.

Abstract

Geography learning demands an integration between conceptual understanding and empirical experience through direct observation of geospherical phenomena. However, geography learning is still often abstract and has not made optimal use of the surrounding environment as a source of contextual learning. This study aims to examine the geographical physical characteristics of the Alo Watershed (DAS) as a context of contextual geography learning based on field observation. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method carried out in the Alo watershed, Gorontalo Province. Data collection is carried out through field observation, documentation, and spatial data analysis which includes aspects of geomorphology, geology, hydrology, pedology, and biogeography. The results of the study show that the Alo watershed has an integrated geographical physical characteristics that are spatially arranged from upstream to downstream and can be observed directly in the field. These characteristics are not only available as physical phenomena, but also serve as sources and objects of geography learning that support contextual learning based on field observations. This study concludes that the Alo watershed has the potential to become an integrative and meaningful geography learning context and opens up opportunities for the development of local environment-based geography learning in a sustainable manner.
