Student Perceptions of Electronic Student Activity Sheets (E-LKM) on Ethnoscience-Integrated Pteridophyta Subject Mater

Abstract

Higher education is currently growing with the use of technology as one of the important aspects in the learning process. Botany courses, especially on Pteridophyta material, are an integral part of the biology education curriculum in many universities. The use of Electronic Student Activity Sheets integrated with the Ethnoscience approach can be a significant innovation in improving the quality of low-level botany learning. This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of E-LKM. The methodology used was descriptive quantitative. The instrument used is a questionnaire. The respondents in this study were students of the Biology Education program with a total of 42 people. The sampling technique is convenience sampling. Based on the results of the questionnaire, several main findings were obtained: (1) The interest indicator obtained an average of 4.32 or 86.38% in the very high category. (2) The material indicator has an average of 4.26 with 85.24% in the very high category. (3) The language indicator obtained an average of 4.26 with 85.24% in the very high category. This E-LKM succeeded in improving the quality and motivation of students' learning. Students' positive perceptions of its use provide evidence that innovation in learning technology can improve the quality of learning.
