PENGEMBANGAN MODUL PEMBELAJARAN GENETIKA BERBASIS FENOMENA LOKAL

Abstract

Abstract
This study aimed to find out the gene inheritance pattern of the gembel hair in a
family in Solomerto Village, Solomerto District, Wonosobo Regency, to design a
local phenomenon based module for genetics learning, and to investigate the
readability of the learning module. This study was based on the data of the family
tree map of a family with the gembel hair inheritance that could be traced to three
generations so that this fulfilled the requirements to trace the gene inheritance. The
data on the gembel hair inheritance were collected through observations and
interviews. The data were then analyzed to find out the characteristic inheritance
by making a map of the family tree and determining the genotype possibility of
each family member. To investigate the readability of the module, 20 students of
SMA Negeri 8 Yogyakarta were selected as the sample. The data were analyzed
using the qualitative descriptive technique. The results of the study on the basis of
the family tree map showed that the gembel hair gene inheritance was determined
by the recessive autosomal gene. The students gave positive responses to the local
phenomenon based learning module in terms of the material coverage, the material
explanation, the number of test items, the item difficulty level, the instruction, and
the key answers.
