Developing Digital Natural Laboratory Based on Edutourism for Environmental Geography

Abstract

This study aimed to develop products and test the utility of the natural laboratory based on eco-spatial edutourism. This research was developed in three stages: 1) product development using five steps in the ADDIE model: Analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, 2) conducting validation tests from learning experts, and 3) conducting limited trials in small groups. The research subjects were students of Geography Education study program, State University of Malang, in the environmental course in the academic year 2019/2020. The data were analyzed using the percentage table. The results showed: 1) the digital natural laboratory based on eco-spatial edutourism was valid by the expert validators, 2) the digital natural laboratory based on eco-spatial edutourism qualified for use in higher education learning.
