Teaching Material Supplements Based on Local Genius in Biology Learning

Abstract

The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) agenda is a challenge for countries in the world, including Indonesia. The multidisciplinary approach and interconnectivity between subject matter and socio-cultural contexts that characterize ESD is a challenge. This is because so far most of the learning in Indonesia is still running partially. Indonesia and Bali in particular have cultural values ​​that are relevant to ESD. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between local wisdom and local genius in learning. 2) Analyze the integration of teaching material supplements for the local genius values of the Balinese people in the Biology learning process. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that examines local wisdom learning materials that can be used as a supplement to biology teaching materials. The results showed that: 1) Local genius is a more specific basic framework to be used as a teaching material supplement, but it has universal values so that it can be implemented anywhere as long as it has the same conditions. 2) As for biological material that can be integrated with values local genius of Balinese people, namely, Classification/Taxonomy, Plant Physiology, Ecology, Digestive System, Excretion System, Reproduction System, Immune System, Conservation, Human Anatomy Physiology. These learning materials are very useful in developing supplementary teaching materials, modules, and books that are relevant to students' environments, especially in Bali. In addition, this material can also be used as a reference for other ethnobiological research in learning to realize ESD agenda.
