PENGENALAN MAMALIA LOKAL WONDIBOI MELALUI MEDIA LUDO EDUKATIF DI SMAN 1 WONDAMA

Abstract

This community service activity was motivated by the limited utilization of local biodiversity as a biology learning resource at SMAN 1 Wondama, particularly local mammals in the Wondiboi area. This condition highlights the need for learning media that can introduce local biodiversity in an engaging and contextual manner while fostering students’ awareness of wildlife conservation in their surrounding environment. This activity aimed to introduce local Wondiboi mammals to students through an educational Ludo game while providing an interactive and contextual learning experience. The activity was conducted on January 19, 2026, at SMAN 1 Wondama, Teluk Wondama Regency, Southwest Papua, involving 58 twelfth-grade students. The activity employed a participatory approach consisting of preparation, outreach, material presentation through an educational Ludo game, and reflection and feedback. The materials covered the names, morphological characteristics, habitats, ecological roles, and conservation efforts of local Wondiboi mammals. Evaluation was conducted through observations of student engagement, a student response questionnaire, question-and-answer sessions, reflection, and feedback from the accompanying teacher. The results showed that the educational Ludo game created an interactive learning environment and encouraged students’ attention, active engagement, participation, curiosity, and enthusiasm throughout the activity. Students also responded positively to the local mammal materials and gained information about the diversity of Wondiboi mammals and the importance of their conservation. The activity demonstrates that educational Ludo games can serve as an alternative local-potential-based biology learning medium that supports contextual learning and conservation education in schools.

ABSTRAK

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilatarbelakangi oleh belum optimalnya pemanfaatan potensi keanekaragaman hayati lokal sebagai sumber belajar biologi di SMAN 1 Wondama, khususnya mamalia lokal Wondiboi. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan pentingnya menghadirkan media pembelajaran yang mampu memperkenalkan biodiversitas lokal secara menarik, kontekstual, dan mendorong kepedulian peserta didik terhadap konservasi satwa di lingkungan sekitarnya. Kegiatan ini bertujuan memperkenalkan mamalia lokal Wondiboi kepada peserta didik melalui media ludo edukatif sekaligus memberikan pengalaman belajar yang interaktif dan kontekstual. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 19 Januari 2026 di SMAN 1 Wondama, Kabupaten Teluk Wondama, Papua Barat, dengan melibatkan 58 peserta didik kelas XII. Pelaksanaan kegiatan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif yang terdiri atas tahap persiapan, sosialisasi, pemaparan materi melalui permainan ludo edukatif, serta refleksi dan umpan balik. Materi yang disajikan mencakup nama, ciri morfologi, habitat, peranan ekologis, dan upaya konservasi mamalia lokal Wondiboi. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui observasi keterlibatan peserta didik, angket respons, tanya jawab, refleksi, dan tanggapan guru pendamping. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa media ludo edukatif menciptakan suasana pembelajaran yang interaktif dan mendorong perhatian, keaktifan, partisipasi, rasa ingin tahu, serta semangat peserta didik dalam mengikuti kegiatan. Peserta didik juga menunjukkan respons positif terhadap materi mamalia lokal dan memperoleh informasi mengenai keberagaman serta pentingnya menjaga kelestarian fauna Wondiboi. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa ludo edukatif dapat menjadi alternatif media pembelajaran biologi berbasis potensi lokal yang mendukung pembelajaran kontekstual dan pendidikan konservasi di sekolah.
