DIVERSITY OF MEDICINAL PLANTS IN NATIONAL PARK OF RINJANI MOUNTAIN IN ORDER TO ARRANGE PRACTICAL HANDOUT OF PHANEROGAMAE SYSTEMATICS

Abstract

ABSTRACT: National Park is an area of natural resource conservation and ecosystem which is utilized for research, science, education, culture, tourism, and recreation. National Park of Mount Rinjani is located on Lombok island that estimated very high flora diversity. Medicinal plants or herbal are a source of bioactive compounds that efficacious cure various diseases. The purposed of this study was to examine and identify the types of medicinal plants that  found in Mount Rinjani National Park area for developing practical handout of Phanerogamae Systematic.  This research were descriptive exploratory with qualitative and quantitative approach. Data collection techniques consisted of interviews, observation, validation, test readability by the students, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively and techniques percentage. The outcome of this research were form of Practical Handout of Phanerogamae  Systematic that developed using 4-D model of modified until step 3, validated by two validators of teaching materials and contents. Practical instructions legibility test by 20 students of Biology Education Program Studies in 6^th semester of IKIP Mataram, which has been doing practical to determine the feasibility of practical instructions.
