Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the level of plant blindness in three schools in West Java. This study was also conducted with the aim of looking at the differences in the level of plant blindness as well as the relationship between the tests and questionnaires given to students. As a follow-up, this study discusses alternative solutions to the problems that arise in the three schools. The population of this study was three schools in West Java, namely one school in Bandung City, West Bandung Regency, and Indramayu Regency. From the population, one class was taken using Convenience sampling technique. The research method used was descriptive cross-sectional method. The data that has been obtained is then processed using descriptive and inferential statistics to see the differences and relationships. The results showed a significant difference between the three schools. The results also showed a positive relationship between the test results and the plant awareness questionnaire. This shows that students who have high plant awareness have high knowledge as well. The alternative solution proposed in this study is the use of eDNA Metabarcoding research as a practicum to study biodiversity, considering that eDNA can identify plant species specifically and accurately.

Abstract

Plant blindness is a problem related to a person's inability to realize, recognize, and know the benefits and roles of plants. After some research, there was a shift in the term, from Plant Blindness to Plant Awareness Disparity. This study aims to find out the prevalence of Plant Blindness in three high schools in West Java. The method used in this study is descriptive Cross sectional. The results of this study revealed that there were differences in the level of plant awareness in the three schools studied. One of the schools in the city of Bandung showed the highest plant awareness rate. In addition, it was also found that students who had a high level of plant awareness had a high perception of plant awareness. As a follow-up, further research can be carried out to collect more data so that it becomes a whole population. In addition, researchers can then use additional instruments so that more things can be revealed about plant blindness.

Abstract

Indonesia has a high diversity of plant species, but the phenomenon of plant blindness is still often found among students, characterized by low awareness and mastery of the concept of biodiversity. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the Flora Incognita application in increasing awareness of plants and the cognitive learning outcomes of high school students on biodiversity material. The research method used was pre-experimental with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 10th grade students at one of the high schools in Cimahi City, West Java. The research results show that learning combined with technology in the form of the Flora Incognita application can improve students' cognitive learning outcomes with an N-Gain value of 0.5 in the medium category. Apart from that, this learning also increases awareness of plants with an N-Gain value of 0.3 in the medium category. Apart from that, no relationship was found between learning outcomes and plant awareness. This research concludes that the Flora Incognita application can be an innovative alternative to overcome the plant blindness phenomenon while increasing mastery of biodiversity material at the high school level.
