The Impact of Farm Field Trip on Student Practices to Manage Waste of Coffee Industry

Erdawati, Edith Alanas, Rahmat Darmawan

Abstract

Chemistry learning requires an appropriate and varied learning method to facilitate the delivery of material and create a pleasant learning atmosphere. The delivery of material that is easy to understand and a pleasant atmosphere will impact maximum learning outcomes. The field trip method is a learning method outside the classroom, where students are invited to a location. By visiting the location directly related to the subject matter, it is hoped that students will better understand and get a real picture of the material being studied. This study aims to improve student competence to solve problems in waste of coffee farm in Cibuleo, Puncak, Indonesia. The coffee industry is one of the agro-industry which produces waste in the production process. Students learn about problems related to solid and liquid waste from the visit to the coffee farm. The problem of waste problems found in coffee farms has resulted in various science projects that will be carried out in the laboratory. Students' project science is evaluated based on the suitability of the title with the problem, problem-solving, experimental design, results, presentation, and answer to questions. The evaluation results indicate that the highest scores were derived from presentation (4.5) and problem-solving (4.40) components. The lowest scores were derived from problem and answer to question (4.25) components.

 

Keywords: field trip, waste of coffee industry, project science, evaluation.
