Integration of Project Based Learning (PjBL) and Ethnobameti Models on Critical Thinking and Innovative Works Through Marine Biodiversity Materials

Abstract

A major challenge in learning biology (marine biodiversity) is how to convey it contextually and relevantly, and how to utilize it effectively for the lives of the people in this region. One solution is the implementation of the integrated learning model of PjBL and Etnobameti, which is the local wisdom of the Maluku community. Based on the results of the implementation of this learning tool by fifth-semester students of the Biology Education study program, FKIP, Patimura University, the results of the syntax mastery assessment were 70.8% with very good and good criteria, only 29.2% with a score of less than or poor. The assessment of students' critical thinking skills was 87.5% with very good and good criteria, only 12.5% with less criteria. The assessment of students' innovative work (products) was 95.8% with very good criteria and only 4.2% with less criteria. The results of the correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between syntax and critical thinking with an R2 value of 0.707, or 70.9% of the syntax of the PjBL and Etnobameti learning integration model correlated with students' critical thinking, and only 29.3% with other factors.The assessment results also show a correlation between syntax and innovative work (products) with correlation values of R2 = 0.438 or 43.8% influenced by syntax while 56.2% is influenced by other factors, especially student knowledge that has been obtained from generations through the Bameti culture which is seen in the form of critical thinking intelligence in recognizing and obtaining various types of marine biota. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that there is an influence of the syntax of the Etnobameti integrated PjBL model on critical thinking intelligence with a df value = 23-22 = 1 with an F value = 53.022 where the significance level is 000, < p 0.05, indicating a significant influence and also a significant influence between the syntax of the PjBL and Etnobameti integration models on students' innovative work according to the df value = 23-22 = 1 with an F value = 17,886 with a significance level of 000 < p 0.05, indicating a significant influence between the syntax of the project based learning (PjBL) integration learning model and Etnobameti. The development of students' thinking in understanding the integrated model of project based learning (PjBL) and Etnobameti, as the local wisdom of the Maluku community in the process of learning biology on marine biodiversity material is a form of building intelligent and innovative constructivism of thinking to develop the potential of natural resources for the welfare of society in the future through the biology learning process.
