West Sumatera is one of the provinces surrounded by oceans that have long beaches that have physical concepts that can be directly observed. The beach is a tourist destination for domestic and foreign tourists who can be used as edupark in the process of learning physics. Edupark is an educational park that educators should be able to use as a learning resource for students. However, educators rarely use coastal tourism as a learning resource. The use of local tourist destinations can be used in learning Physics by implementing the development of science and technology that is developing now. According to the needs of students, so that information technology-based learning media can be used. The use of instructional media aims to help students understand the physical concepts found on the coast of Padang Indonesia, especially in light material and optical instruments. The data used in the study were obtained through interviews and questionnaires with educators and students. Based on this preliminary research conducted, it is known that students are interested in using learning media in the process of learning physics.
Learning science by utilizing tourist destinations can observe objects and phenomena in a more real way. Tourist destinations as a source of learning in the form of educational tours are called edupark. This research aims to produce a valid science edupark e-book. Validity is needed to test a study. The validity tested in product development is a material substance, appearance feasibility, presentation feasibility, and language. The edupark e-book validation was carried out by three experts. The research conducted was Design Research with the type of Development Studies using the Plomp model with the steps of Preliminary Research, self-evaluation, expert review. The research instruments were the validity instrument sheet and the edupark e-book validation sheet. Analysis of the data from the results of the validation by the validator shows that each aspect of validity has met the valid category. This shows that the edupark e-book developed meets validity aspects, namely aspects of material substance, feasibility of appearance, feasibility of presentation, and language. Thus, the edupark e-book developed is valid for use in learning.
Learning carried out in the world of education is currently running on a new policy by implementing the 2013 curriculum education system which is rooted in local and national culture, which means that it must provide opportunities for students to learn according to the needs and potential of their respective regions so that students can use it. One of the teaching materials that can be made following the 2013 Curriculum with regional potential and utilizing technology is the edupark e-book. This study is to produce an edupark e-book that meets practical criteria. The type of research used is Design Research with the type of Development Studies using the Plomp model, in this research the practical phase is carried out. The instrument in this study was a practicality sheet, namely a response questionnaire given to 3 educators and 21 students. The edupark e-book practicum analysis technique uses a Likert scale with 4 assessment categories. The e-book practicality questionnaire covers the following 4 aspects: (a) can be used; (b) Easy to use (c) Attractive and; (d) Efficient. It can be concluded that the IPA edupark E-book with a scientific approach based on the Padang Beach tourist destination meets very practical criteria for all practical aspects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
