DEVELOPMENT OF TISSUE CULTURE TEXTBOOK BASED ON SCIENTIFIC LITERACY AS A STUDENT LEARNING SOURCE

This study aims to develop and determine the feasibility of a tissue culture
textbook based on scientific literacy, conducted from November 2020 to May
2021. This study used the Dick & Carrey development model, modified to the
formative evaluation stage. The instrument used is a questionnaire filled out
by validators (material experts, learning design experts, layout design
experts), lecturers of the Network Culture course, and students majoring in
biology. The results showed that 77% of students had difficulty learning about
somaclonal diversity and needed additional cultural application material.
From the initial survey, there were no scientific literacy-based tissue culture
textbooks in the UNIMED library. Based on the survey, 76.9% of students said
they liked somaclonal diversity material, 86.6% said it was challenging to
study, 53.8% of the material described the interaction of science,
environment, technology, and society, and 30.8% did not explain the material
application of culture. As the results of textbook development,
validator analysis shows 86% (very feasible) from material experts, 91% (very
feasible) from learning design experts and 91% (very feasible) from layout
design experts. The percentage of responses showed: 93% (very feasible)
from lecturers, 86% (very feasible) from individuals, 90% (very feasible) from
small groups and 89% (very feasible) from limited groups. Overall the
textbook is very feasible to use.
