Abstract
ABSTRACT Winda Sari Gultom. Developing the Guidebook of Insect Diversity at PTPN IV Sidamanik Tea Plantation. Thesis. Postgraduate Program in Universitas Negeri Medan. 2019 The aims of this study were to: (1) create a guidebook of insect diversity; (2) find out the results of the validation from learning material and design experts towards the guidebook of insect diversity in the tea plantation; and (3) find out the types of insects in the tea plantation. This study was conducted at PTPN IV Sidamanik Tea Plantation. The method of collecting data through direct measurements in the field was by collecting insects with fly nets, a guidebook developed based on the theory of 4-D Thiagarajan (Four-D Models). The instruments were in the form of learning material assessment sheets, guidebook design assessment sheets as well as the student perceptual assessment sheets of the guidebook of insect diversity. The results have obtained the 8 orders (Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera) and 956 species. And on coffee plantations get 5 ordo (Hymenoptera, coleopteran, Diptera, orthoptera, hemiptera) and 339 spesies The trial of this guidebook product was assessed by a learning material expert, a learning media expert and five students who have taken courses in animal ecology. The results of the overall assessment of the guidebook showed the assessment from learning media experts produced a value of 81.0 with the criteria "very feasible" while the assessment from learning material experts produced a value of 82.6 with the criteria "very feasible" and the value from student responses produced 93.3 with criteria "very feasible " It was concluded that the guidebook of insect diversity at PTPN IV Sidamanik Tea Plantation was feasible to be used as a learning resource to help students recognize the types of insects that exist in tea plantations.
