Ethnopharmacological Study Of Zigzag Plant (Euphorbia tithymaloides) Of Dayak Kenyah Tribe And Its Development As A Learning Material In The Form Of A Biology Learning Booklet For High School
The use of plants by the Dayak people, in this case for treatment, is an interesting thing to study, so the use of medicinal plants needs to be disseminated. This study aims to: 1). Study the utilization and processing methods of the E. tithymaloydes plant by the Dayak Kenyah people. 2). Analyze the validity of the E. tithymaloydes medicinal plant booklet of the Dayak Kenyah people as a supplement to high school biology learning. The type of research is Research and Development (R&D) adapted from the Borg & Gall (1983) development model which was only carried out up to the fifth stage. The sampling technique used in June to August 2024 in this study was Snowball sampling. The results of the study showed that the Zigzag plant can cure poisonous animal bites such as centipede, snake, scorpion, insect bites, and sprained feet. The community processes the plant by cleaning the stem and breaking it so that it releases sap or coarsely ground, for a healing period of around 2-7 days. The validation results from material experts with a percentage of 90% (very valid), media experts 91.5% (very valid) and language experts 84% (very valid), and student response tests of 97.4% (very interesting). So it can be concluded that the Booklet on the Utilization of Zigzag Plants (Euphorbia tithymaloides) is very suitable for use as a learning resource for high school students. The researcher's suggestion is for further research.
