Abstract

This study aims to analyze the knowledge, attitude, and skills of students in flowering plant propagation. The cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitude), and psychomotor (skill) aspects studied in this study are important components of the learning process. A descriptive survey design was used with data collection methods through knowledge tests, attitude questionnaires, and observations of practical skills in flowering plant propagation. Samples were taken using purposive sampling techniques from students of the Biology Education study program who had experience in flowering plant propagation. The results showed that most students had a good understanding of the concept of flowering plant propagation, where 85% of students were able to correctly answer questions about generative propagation, and students also had good abilities in answering questions related to vegetative propagation. However, understanding of tissue culture techniques has not been mastered because this material has not been taught practically in the course. Most students (83%) showed a positive attitude towards the importance of flowering plant propagation in the context of environmental conservation and agriculture, although 17% still needed to strengthen their understanding of the benefits of commercial plant propagation technology. In terms of skills, although students can perform generative and vegetative propagation, some students have difficulty in advanced techniques such as grafting and tissue culture, which may be due to limited laboratory facilities. These findings indicate that learning flowering plant propagation in theory and practice has been effective, but reinforcement of tissue culture techniques is needed through intensive training and adequate laboratory facilities. Students’ positive attitudes towards flowering plant propagation support the importance of developing more innovative learning strategies to improve student competence in this field by the demands of the workplace.
