The existence of these plants can be used as a media of learning so that learning activities become more contextual. The aims of this study are 1) to know the diversity of Nepenthes in Padat Karya forest, 2) to determine the feasibility of learning media in the form of poster developed from the results of the Nepenthes diversity research. This research consisted of two stages. The first was research stage which involved inventory, identification, and diversity index determination of Nepenthes. The second stage was development research i.e developing the results gained from the first stage into poster form. The research and development model employed in this study was the modified-Borg and Gall (2006) model. There were five steps conducted, namely (1) need analysis, (2) planning, (3) develop the preliminary form of product, (4) preliminary field testing, and (5) main product revision. The results showed that the diversity index value of Nepenthes was categorized as ‘medium’. In addition, based on the validation and response obtained, the poster developed was feasible to be utilized as a learning media in senior high school.

Mansur (2007) stated that Nepenthes is included in liana plant. Mardhiana, Parto, Hayati, and Priadi (2012) stated that the Nepenthes plant is very well adapted to grow in nutrient-poor soils in term of low nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, besides possessing high soil acidity, yet these are limiting factors for plant growth. The uniqueness of Nepenthes lies in the way of getting food. Not only do the roots absorb nutrients from the soil, but this plant also absorbs nutrients from insects trapped in its ‘pocket’. The insects are destroyed by a kind of gastric acid-like compound to suck its juice. That is why the plant is able to survive in barren areas. Some benefits were identified for growing Nepenthes. Generally, Nepenthes can grow well in poor nutrient and somewhat exposed to sunlight (Hernawati & Akhriadi, 2006). Nepenthes can be used as a traditional medicinal plant (a liquid from a closed pouch used as an eye remedy and cough medicine), and even it can be used as a clue as a climate indicator (Susanti, Natalia, & Aisyah, 2016). Nepenthes has a potential ability as an insect controller, conventional multipurpose plant, unique ornamental plant as its leaf tips can appear pouches, medicinal plants, and protein- producing plants (Eilenberg et al., 2010; Mardhiana et al., 2012). Nepenthes belongs to liana plants (propagating) which has two homes, means, male and female flowers are separated in different individuals (Mansur, 2006). It is commonly attached (epiphytes) on stems or branches or grows terrestrially. A single leaf is the common form of a lanceolate or a spatula, with tendrils on the tip of the leaf in which the petiole is not always present (Clarke, 2007). The grown plants grow up and the trunk forms an elongated segment and ultimately produces flowers and fruits (Clarke, Shen, Wong, Barkman, & Carow, 1997). In some types of Nepenthes, seedling or young plants form a rosette that usually produces leaves and ‘pockets’ on a short stalk. Although the shape of the bag varies on each type, it generally has https://doi.org/10.22219/jpbi.v4i1.5231 https://doi.org/10.22219/jpbi.v3i1.3905 mailto:ilmasilfia88@gmail.com Ilma et al / JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) / 4 (1) (2018) pp. 67-74 68 Developing poster based on diversity …. the same characteristics, consisting of lids, peristome (lips) and pockets (Clarke, 2007). Nepenthes is a typical tropical plant that is also widely known by the name of Nephentes. The status of Nepenthes is protected by law and government regulations. However, the current population of Nepenthes is threatened with extinction so it is important to conduct a study to maintain its sustainability. Forests on the island of Kalimantan have poor nutrient conditions and have a high degree of acidity. Therefore Nepenthes can be found in Kalimantan forest. Ilma (2014) stated that there were four species of Nepenthes have been found in Borneo Tarakan University, these species were: Nepenthes ampularia, Nepenthes rafflesiana, Nepenthes mirabilis and Nepenthes hirsuta. Based on the observations in the Padat Karya forest, has found a lot of Nepenthes. But the existence of this plant has not been integrated into biology learning activities. Based on the results of interviews with the student, they do not know about the existence and benefits of Nepenthes. After knowing the diversity of Nepenthes in Padat Karya Forests, an environmental evaluation can be conducted which leads to the conservation effort of Nepenthes plant in Padat Karya Forest area. In order to instill a caring and responsible of Nepenthes, the results of this study will be arranged in a poster which can be utilized as a media for biodiversity in high school. This study aims to find out the diversity of Nepenthes in the Padat Karya Forest. After knowing the description of the vegetation of Nepenthes in the Padat Karya Forest, it can be done an evaluation of the environment, which leads to the conservation efforts of the plant Nepenthes in the Padat Karya Forest. In order to instill a caring and responsible attitude towards students in the presence of Nepenthes, the results of this study will be constructed as learning materials in the form of the poster for biodiversity learning in high school. The purpose of preparing Nepenthes diversity poster media is to help students to understand the concept of biodiversity and to invite students to caring the local plants around. Jannah and Serevina (2016), stated that using poster in physical learning can ease student to understand and memorize the learning materials. Due to the poster contents are writings and drawings, it can increase the student interest in learning. METHOD Research Stage This research consisted of two stages. The first stage was research, consist of inventory, identification, and diversity index determination of Nepenthes. The second stage was developing the research results into Poster. Inventory and Identification Data collection on the existence of Nepenthes was done by using purposive sampling with the exploration method of combination plot (Muller-Dombosis & Ellenberg, 1974). Sampling area was divided into five tracks, based on the presence or absence of Nepenthes in Padat Karya Forest, at the North Kalimantan. Diversity index of Nepenthes The calculation of Nepenthes diversity index was used Shanon-Wienner index (Ludwig & Reynolds, 1988) as follows. (1) Description: H’ = Shannon – Wienner diversity index Pi = (ni / N) ln = natural logarithm n = the number of individuals of each type N = total number of individuals of all types The diversity index of species in an area depends on the type of ecosystem of the sample area. Generally, lowland forests have fewer species than wet tropical forests. The criteria of the Shannon-Wiener diversity index are: (a) H'>3: High diversity, the spread of the number of individuals per species high and high community stability, (b) 1
