Abstract

Molluscs are a very diverse group, with at least 85,000 named species and it is estimated that up to 200,000 species occur worldwide. They also inhabit almost all ecosystems. The most well-known mollusc classes are Gastropods (snails), Bivalves (clams, oysters, mussels, and clams) and Cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and nautilus). Among the mollusks the most interesting are the snails. A number of land snails are often found in residential areas. Most snails are either beneficial or harmless. However, some snails have been found to eat economically important plants and become pests, including pests for ornamental plants. This research aim was (1) to determine the species of gastropods as pests on ornamental plants, (2) to determine the increase in student understanding in learning to the use of direct observation of gastropods. Gastropod sampling locations were determined at five points from Puuk Village; by selecting one point each in one resident’s house yard located on the east, west, north, south and center of the village.The data on the types of gastropods that have been collected is proven to exist at the research location by photographing the types, then Identification Samples that have been obtained at the location are then identified and described. To measure and determine the increase in student understanding in learning, this method was carried out after all series of observations in the field were completed by filling in electronic forms. There are two species of gastropods found as pests on ornamental plants in Puuk village; Achatina fulica and Bradybaena similaris. The learning process becomes better, because students are enthusiastic about directly observing species of invertebrate animals.
