Development of Disaster Geography Teaching Materials Due to Microorganisms for Geography Education Undergraduate Students

Abstract

From the perspective of geography, the concept of biological disaster, especially concerning human health, can be viewed from the distribution and environmental conditions. Distribution is caused by the dynamics of the mobility of humans or certain animals. While the environment plays a role in conditions that allow viruses or bacteria to survive longer. The purpose of the study was to compile the contents of disaster materials caused by microorganisms with the perspective of geographical studies and to determine the feasibility of material for disasters caused by viruses in the perspective of geographical studies to be prepared as teaching materials in the form of handouts. The research method uses a modified R&D from Borg and Gall. The research flow that will be carried out includes needs analysis, initial product development, expert validation, limited trials, and product revisions. The instruments measured include the perspective of geography, case examples, language, pictures, layout, instructional, task, and motivation. Descriptive analysis by describing the data that has been processed using tables and graphs as well as explanations of the data in collaboration with concepts and previous research. The results show that the content and structure of the material, the handout teaching materials are from the perspective of geographical studies.
