Abstract

The diversity of plants in the surrounding environment needs to be studied by students through observation and practice of plant classification. However, learning process in school haven’t optimal. The objectives of this study are (1) identifying the factors that cause plant classification practices to compile a cladogram not being trained in the learning process by high school teachers; (2) analyzing the opinions of teachers and students about the importance of developing a diversity module and classification of plants in Mount Muria. This research is a qualitative descriptive. Gollecting data through a survey using questionnaires and interviews with 31 teachers and 173 students of Senior High School in Kudus Regency Data were analyze descriptive qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that plant classification material is difficult to understand because of: 1) complex matter and scientific name (77,4 %), 2) the need for more scrutiny when observing plant features (69,4 %), and 3) least the literature and material classification of plants covered only in outline (38,7 %). Students also depend on method and model used by teacher. Teachers and students agree that the study’s results on using various plants on Mount Muria by the surrounding community (ethnobotany) are used as material for developing plant diversity and classification modules. The main reasons are 1) knowledge is contextual and is local wisdom; 2) the material will be more interesting to students, and 3) improve students’ understanding of plant diversity and classification.
