INVENTORY OF HERBACEOUS PLANTS IN LUBUK PAKAM FRUIT GARDEN IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLANT MORPHOLOGY LEARNING MODULE

Abstract

This research aims to develop a plant morphology learning module in the Lubuk Pakam Fruit Park Area, Deli Serdang Regency. This research was conducted in June-August. This research is motivated by several problems, among others, related to the lack of information that presents the inventory of herbaceous plants in the development of plant morphology learning modules. Research Area. The role of herbal plant inventory can be used as a learning medium to facilitate plant recognition, in addition, the role of inventory is supported by actual data in the grouping of herbaceous plant types found in the Lubuk Pakam Fruit Park. Furthermore, the data obtained was used as a guide medium for plant morphology practicum in the form of a pocket book as data on plant species found in the Lubuk Pakam Fruit garden. With data on these herbaceous plant species, it is then used as a guideline for students to conduct research in that place. Many literatures discuss herbal plants, but do not discuss herbal plant inventory. Lack of understanding of Biology students about plant morphology material due to the use of foreign terms and lack of use of concrete images, especially related to herbaceous plants. Limited support books for learning herbal plant morphology material in the Biology library. In this case, the researcher connected some of these problems and then compiled them into learning resources in the form of a module "Inventory of Herbaceous Plants in the Lubuk Pakam Fruit Garden, Deli Serdang Regency". This research is included in the type of inventory qualitative approach research. The research method of phase I &II using the plot is a research using a type of descriptive qualitative research with observation and documentation techniques that aim to identify herbaceous plants in the Lubuk Pakam Fruit Garden, Deli Serdang Regency, 12 herbaceous plant families from 22 species, 38 individuals and 64 clumps were found.
