The Integration of Life-Based Learning Based Local Wisdom in the Development of Innovative Biotechnology Learning Models

Abstract

The development on biotechnology research is on the rapid growth. Biotechnology is assumed to be able to solve the needs problem in the community. University of Jember has developed a biotechnology research which focused on the fields of agricultural and health biotechnology. However, the result of biotechnology research has not been entirely integrated yet into the learning at schools, college, and community education. This research was intended to associate the products of biotechnology research with the innovative life-based local wisdom learning and developed local wisdom. Later on, the integration of life-based learning and local wisdom in regards to the development of biotechnology was able to be implemented at school, university and the community. Junior and senior high school, university and local community in East Java were selected as the subjects of this research. Ten-step model of developmental research was applied on this research (Borg and Gall, 1989) covering collecting research and information, planning, developing preliminary forms of product, testing the preliminary field, the revision on main product, testing the main field, the revision on operational product, testing the operational field, the revision of final product, and dissemination and implementation. The results of this research revealed that life-based learning model with local wisdom in the development of innovative biotechnology learning were valid, effective and efficient.

Module and Learning Resources of Students for Developing a Local Wisdom-Based Biotechnology Module: a Preliminary Research

“…It can be implemented in learning in the university level to make an integration between the learning materials between the student's daily experiences. It is in line with [17] revealed that the module is of the innovation for the integration of life-based learning in the development of innovative biotechnology learning that was valid, effective, and useful at the schools, university and the local community in East Java.…”

Natural Ecological and Environmental Protection Strategies Based on Biotechnology Analysis

“…Municipal wastewater is a mixture of multiple water qualities, which may contain industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, etc. The current severe shortage of water resources makes the process flow of municipal wastewater treatment particularly important [6]. Wastewater treatment generally requires five processing and treatment components, of which there are four main basic processing and treatment processes, as shown in Figure 1.…”

Analysis of the Development Needs of Student Worksheet Based on Local Wisdom of Biotechnology Material at Senior High School, Kupang City

“…Combining the concept of biotechnology with local values will make it easier for students to understand the material, while increasing the relevance of learning to the context of students' daily lives. Thus, students not only acquire biotechnology knowledge, but also develop a love for culture and the surrounding environment (Suratno et al, 2020). By integrating life-based learning with local wisdom, innovative biotechnology learning models can be developed and applied in schools, universities, and communities (Buntting & Jones, 2020).…”
