Paddy Periscope Monitor: An Ethno-STEM-Based Optical Learning Medium in the Context of Rice-Field Irrigation in East OKU

Effendi Effendi, Agustina wulandari


Abstract


Pemahaman peserta didik terhadap konsep optik, khususnya pemantulan cahaya pada cermin datar, cenderung bersifat teoretis dan kurang terhubung dengan konteks kehidupan sehari-hari, sehingga diperlukan media pembelajaran yang kontekstual dan berbasis kearifan lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan dan mendeskripsikan Paddy Periscope Monitor (PPM), media pembelajaran optik berbentuk miniatur sistem irigasi sawah yang mengintegrasikan prinsip kerja periskop sederhana dengan kearifan lokal pengelolaan air sawah di Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Timur. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan Research and Development (R&D) yang dipadukan dengan model Project Based Learning (PjBL) berpendekatan Ethno-STEM, meliputi tahap identifikasi masalah, perancangan, pembuatan produk, dan uji fungsional. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa periskop sederhana, yang memanfaatkan dua cermin datar bersudut 45°, mampu menampilkan skala ketinggian air pada empat variasi tinggi air secara jelas tanpa pengamatan langsung ke dalam petak sawah. Produk ini dinilai layak digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran optik yang murah, sederhana, dan kontekstual.
