Development of Research Based Field Guide Book about Dragonfly Diversity (Odonata)

Abstract

This research aimed to develop a field guide book material diversity of dragonfly (Odonata) research based on the subjects of entomology. This field guidebook was developed by using Four-D model of Thiagarajan (4D), namely stages: define, design, development and dissemination but in research only until the stage of development. The field guidebook developed was validated based on three criteria, namely content material quality, learning design quality and layout design quality. Data about the quality of product development was collected by questionnaire and analyzed by descriptive qualitative. The content material validation results were assessed by two material experts based on material suitability, accuracy and strength of the material, systematics of learning, efficiency of the field guide in learning and language has an average value of 81.35 % with very good criteria. The results of the learning design validation were assessed by one learning expert based on the feasibility aspects of the contents and presentation of contents having an average value of 96.12% with very good criteria. Layout design validation results rated by two experts design layout with several aspects of the size of the field guide books, field guides book cover design and book design field guide pick average value is 80.50% with the very good criteria. The results of the validation were obtained after making several revisions to the research-based field guide for dragonfly diversity (Odonata) in the entomology course this is worth using.

Practicality of popular scientific book on Odonata

“…The egg, larvae, and nymph phases develop around water, while the adult phase is active in terrestrial or air. As a top predator, Odonata plays an important role as a bioindicator of various hydroecosystems, such as water cleanliness and river or water health (Lubis et al, 2019;Mariani-Ríos et al, 2022;Porta et al, 2023). Its abundance in Kalimantan Selatan Province makes this animal a local potential for study (Ansari et al, 2016;Soendjoto et al, 2016).…”
