Evaluasi Aplikasi Identifikasi Tumbuhan Sebagai Rekomendasi Media Pembelajaran Siswa SMP

Abstract

The subject of plants in science education poses significant challenges. Students must have the ability to describe the differences in plant characteristics based on taxonomic levels, classify plants in various taxon levels, and conduct experiments related to physiological processes in plants. A method to identify plants easily is to use Android applications, such as PlantNet, Google Lens, Blossom, Picture This, and others. This study aimed to determine the effect of Android applications on the results of plant identification, understand the advantages between Android applications, and establish Android application recommendations for junior high school student learning. Data were collected by observation or survey method, taking pictures or photos, and Android application assessment. The results showed that the type of application affects the results of plant identification, Android applications have advantages in identifying plants, and PictureThis application is a plant identification application that is highly recommended as a learning medium for junior high school students.
