Local Wisdom and Laboratory Experiment-Based Extension Booklet Development for Wadi Makers of Elementary-Educated and Dropout Society in Central Kalimantan

Abstract

Wadi is one of traditionally fermented food types using basic materials of fish, salt, and lumu. As nutritive traditional food, wadi quality needs to be developed and maintained through social education. Wadi production innovation has not been done yet by the wadi makers since their information is limited on production techniques for better quality wadi. To promote local wisdom conservation, non-formal education for low educated-wadi makers is needed using simple media. Laboratory experiment and local wisdom-based booklet development is intended to broad their mind and skill in wadi production in the rural areas of Central Kalimantan. This development followed the model of Peck (1988). It contained non-formal product oriented-education materials for the wadi makers. The booklet has been validated by experts in community education, biotechnology, and learning media, and applied to wadi producing communities. Assessment instruments for booklet validation refer to non-textbook assessment instruments (enrichment books). The results showed that the booklet could be well accepted by the users and possessed very good criteria of understanding and readability value.

Effect of Local Culture Based Learning in Science on Critical Thinking and Student Communication Skills

“…Thus, education can be said to be a process of developing cultural values and civilization in society (Septiarti et al, 2017). Local culture including the local wisdom of an area can be preserved through formal education in schools and non-formal in the community (Dewi et al, 2020).…”

The Effect of Ethnoscience Learning on the Development of Students' Cognitive and Affective Aspects in Junior High School

“…These competencies can be realized through a learning process that is centered on students and an effective learning process (Dewi et al, 2020). Effective learning requires innovation in the field of education, such as learning that combines science and ethnoscience (Dwianto et al, 2017).…”

Experimental Study of Development Food Safety Booklet using Local Language

“…In line with this, several studies have concluded that booklets can be used as a medium for food safety literacy because they can increase food safety knowledge which remains high (within one to three months after the intervention is carried out), effective for transmitting food safety information for adults, and suitable for use in societies with heterogeneous educational profiles because it is simple, easy to understand and systematic. [5][6][7] Furthermore, booklets are widely used as media for health promotion because they have advantages such as low production costs, complete and easyto-understand information, attractive designs that make a person more interested and less bored to read them frequently, and portability. 8 As stated by WHO through the Health Promotion Glossary, health behavior is basically shaped by the social, cultural, residential, and occupational environment.…”
