Botanical literacy, E-Module, Local PotentialAbstract
Nowadays, it is important to impower botanical literacy to eliminate igorance towards plants. Furthermore, botanical literacy exists to understand why plants are relevant to daily life and emphasizes their role in sustaining life. Based on the results of a needs analysis observation, teaching materials that explicitly contain botanical literacy indicators are still limited. Through a flower morphology e-module that incorporates the local potential of Tahura R. Soerjo, students' botanical literacy can be effectively trained. This research used the Lee & Owens (2004) research and development design. The population for this study were sophomore Biology students who were enrolled in the Plant Generative Structure and Development course for the 2024/2025, from which two classes were then determined as research samples. The instruments used in the study were questions, questionnaires, and observation sheets adapted to the aspects of botanical literacy. The ANCOVA test results showed that the e-module had a significant influence on students' botanical literacy with a (Sig.) of 0.001 > 0.05. The e-module is effective for training students' botanical literacy.
