Abstract

The 21 st-century geography learning requires the use of contextual learning resources that are based on local potential to support deep learning. However, the availability of learning media that integrates geoparks and community knowledge is still limited. Therefore, this research and development aims to produce a community-based encyclopedia using the case-based method. It aims to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the encyclopedia as a source of geography learning. The learning media was developed by using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, and implementation. The encyclopedia was developed using a community-based approach to ensure the accuracy of information related to the Maros-Pangkep Geopark area,  particularly at the Biraeng Village. Product validation was carried out by both subject matter and media experts. The validation results showed a feasibility presentation of 72% (feasible) in terms of content, 83.3% (feasible) in terms of presentation, 87.5% (very feasible) in terms of language, and 88% (very feasible) in terms of graphics. The effectiveness test was conducted through a small group trial that involved 20 geography students using pre-tests and post-tests. The test results showed an average N-gain value of 0.664 in the moderate category, indicating an increase in students’ understanding of geography learning materials. Thus, the community-based geopark encyclopedia is declared feasible and effective as a contextual geography learning medium that supports deep learning and the optimization of the local potential.
