Learning model design of inquiry integrated ethno-STEM for bioactivity of secondary metabolites from Sarang Semut (ant nest) extracts.

This research aimed to analyze and design an ethno-STEM integrated inquiry learning on the bioactivity test of secondary metabolites of "Sarang Semut" or ant nest plants in Merauke. This research was application research and development, ethno-STEM integrated inquiry learning model with Sudarmin syntax. At the initial stage, an ethno-STEM integrated inquiry learning was designed with the Sudarmin syntax to be applied to the study of ant nest secondary metabolites' antibacterial, anticancer, and anticancer bioactivity tests Bajakah, Akar Kuning, and Taxus extracts as comparisons. The bioactivity test of antibacterial, anticancer, and antioxidant secondary metabolites from extracts of ant nests and other tropical forest plants was carried out in the next stage. The data obtained from this study were analyzed descriptively to obtain an overview of the developed Sudarmin syntax. This study has found an Ethno-STEM integrated inquiry learning syntax with the Sudarmin stage. Sudarmin's syntactic stages consist of presenting problems, discussing, proposing hypotheses, designing and designing learning and inquiry experiments, establishing experimental procedures and schedules, implementing, and summarizing. The results of the secondary metabolite bioactivity test of the Ant Nest extract showed that the secondary metabolite could test the antibacterial bioactivity. Anticancer and antioxidant, so that it can explain scientifically why the plant is used as medicine and immunity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
