Learning About Landslide Disaster Mitigation Based on a Role-Playing Method Assisted by the Disaster Education Pocket Book

Abstract

The importance of understanding disaster issues affecting Indonesia encourages the integration of disaster mitigation into the education system. For instance, the inclusion of disaster mitigation occurs in the subject of geography. However, the implementation of disaster mitigation learning still faces several obstacles. This aim of this study is to describe the implementation of a role-playing learning method assisted by the disaster education pocket-book and to analyze its effectiveness. This research was conducted at SMAN 11 Semarang. The samples of this study were XI IPS 2 as the experimental class and XI IPS 3 as the control class. The variable of this research was the role-playing learning method assisted by the disaster education pocket-book. The sub-variables include teacher performance, learning outcomes, and students’ responses. The study found that implementation of the experimental class obtained teacher performance scores of 89 percent and control classes obtained teacher performance scores of 86 percent. Both scores were very good. The comparison of cognitive learning outcomes showed that disaster mitigation learning with a role-playing method and assisted by a pocket-book about disaster education was more effective than learning through lectures and discussion methods. Responses to a questionnaire showed an average score of 82.7 percent, stating that students were very interested in such learning. The results of this study indicate that disaster mitigation learning must be implemented with a method that involves active student participation and is also complemented by interesting learning materials such as the role-playing method assisted by use of a disaster education pocket book.
