EVALUASI PROGRAM KEGIATAN FIELD TRIP TK MELATI PUTIH KE MUSEUM RAHMAT INTERNATIONAL WILDLIFE MUSEUM & GALLERY

Abstrak

Studi ini mengevaluasi efektivitas program field trip TK Melati Putih ke Museum Rahmat International Wildlife Museum & Gallery sebagai metode pembelajaran keanekaragaman hayati dan konservasi lingkungan.  Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi langsung dan wawancara dengan kepala sekolah dan lima guru, serta instrumen evaluasi berbasis skala Likert yang menilai delapan aspek program. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan skor keseluruhan 46 (dari skala 1-4, "Sangat Setuju"), mengindikasikan kepuasan tinggi peserta dan keberhasilan program dalam mencapai tujuan pembelajaran.  Aspek tujuan program, sumber daya, interaksi dengan pemandu, dan pemahaman materi menunjukkan skor yang sangat baik. Meskipun demikian, terdapat rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan jumlah pemandu dan melibatkan orang tua lebih aktif.  Secara keseluruhan, program field trip terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman anak tentang keanekaragaman hayati dan konservasi, serta memberikan pengalaman belajar yang positif dan berkesan.  Studi ini menyarankan agar program serupa terus dikembangkan dan dievaluasi secara berkala untuk optimalisasi pembelajaran di luar kelas.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Melati Putih Kindergarten field trip program to the Rahmat International Wildlife Museum & Gallery as a method of learning about biodiversity and environmental conservation. This research uses direct observation methods and interviews with the school principal and five teachers, as well as a Likert scale-based evaluation instrument that assesses eight aspects of the program. The evaluation results showed an overall score of 46 (on a scale of 1-4, "Strongly Agree"), indicating high participant satisfaction and the program's success in achieving learning objectives. Aspects of program objectives, resources, interaction with guides, and understanding of the material show excellent scores. However, there are recommendations to increase the number of guides and involve parents more actively. Overall, the field trip program has proven to be effective in increasing children's understanding of biodiversity and conservation, as well as providing a positive and memorable learning experience. This study suggests that similar programs continue to be developed and evaluated regularly to optimize learning outside the classroom.
