Potensi pada Tanaman Budaya Robo-Robo dan Pernikahan Suku Melayu Mempawah sebagai Sumber Belajar Biologi Berbasis Budaya

Abstract

The cultural rituals of Robo-Robo and weddings in the Mempawah Malay community involve the use of plants that can serve as a source of biology education. This study aims to analyze the local potential of plants used in the Robo-Robo and wedding cultures as biology learning materials in high schools. The study identified 26 plant species used in Robo-Robo and wedding traditions, including buluh bamboo, fragrant pandan, champaka, tuberose, rice, coconut, citrus, lemongrass, turmeric, rose, betel, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and banana. These plants were deemed highly feasible as learning resources, with high scores in accessibility (100%), safety (100%), time efficiency (95%), cost (100%), and curriculum relevance (96.66%). Relevant subject matter spans high school grades X–XII, including Biodiversity, Classification of Living Things, Plant Tissues, Plantae, and Biotechnology. In conclusion, the plants used in the Robo-Robo and wedding cultures of the Mempawah Malay community have a feasibility percentage of 98.33%, making them highly suitable as a culture-based biology learning resource for high schools.
