BIOMIMICRY DESIGN SPIRAL INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD FOR SCIENCE TEACHER
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article introduces a new instructional method for learning management that incorporates the concept of biomimicry design spiral or designs inspired by nature. The method aims to motivate students to apply their scientific knowledge related to living things and ecosystems to tackle human problems. The article provides valuable information for science teachers who wish to use this learning management method in their teaching and learning practices. It covers the history of design inspired by nature, the biomimicry design spiral concept, examples of learning management activities based on the biomimicry design spiral concept instructional method, evaluation of learning outcomes, and suggestions for implementation in a classroom.
