THE STUDY OF BASIL FLOWER ATTRACTANT (OCIMUM BASILICUM) TOWARDS FRUIT FLIES AS BIOLOGY LEARNING RESOURCE IN VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

Biotechnology is one of the Biology subject at the vocational school (SMK) in the field of
Agribusiness and Agrotechnology program. In contrast, the fact indicates that these topics are taught
by lecturing method and the teachers only used student’s handbook as the learning resources.
Moreover, teachers are seldom using current research as learning resources. One of them is the Basil
flower (Ocimum basilicum). This qualitative descriptive study is aimed to analyze the potential of
the attractant compound Basil flower as a learning resource for Biotechnology subject in SMK. The
curriculum analysis is done by adjusting the process and research product with the core curriculum
standards in 2013. Based on the analysis of processes and products (facts, concepts, principles and
procedures) study, the results of the research on attractant compound Basil flower (Ocimum
basilicum) toward fruit flies can be used as a Biology learning resource of 11th grade at KD. 3.6
Curriculum 2013 SMK.
