The Potential of Plant Diversity in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park in Support of Achieving National Curriculum Goals

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the diversity of plants found in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The analysis of plant diversity was carried out by applying the quadratic method. Twenty-five squares were constructed for sampling. The results showed that there were thirty two (32) plant tribes consisting of 256 individuals in the exposed area and 899 individuals in the burial area. Data on plant diversity were then mapped to be correlated with Basic Competence (BC) at each level of the educational unit. Mapping results showed, there are 6 BC at the elementary school level; 5 BC at the junior high school level; and 7 basic competencies at high school level that can be learned by utilizing information on plant diversity of Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that the existence of plant diversity in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park has the potential to support the achievement of the objectives of the national curriculum.
