@article{Alwen Bentri_2017, title={A MODEL OF LOCAL CONTENT DISASTER-BASED CURRICULUM AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS}, volume={13}, url={https://geomatejournal.com/geomate/article/view/1382}, abstractNote={<p>West Sumatera geographical conditions are prone to natural disasters and earthquakes, resulting in <br>people vulnerable to becoming victims. This is especially true for students, because they do not have the capacity <br>to face earthquake disasters. Therefore, it is important to equip learners systematically and massively on a wide <br>range of knowledge, attitudes/values, and basic skills required by the curriculum in schools in order to minimize <br>the risk of earthquakes. Related to this, the present study was conducted in order to produce a model of local <br>content disaster-based curriculum, especially about earthquakes, for elementary school students. This research <br>was developed by using a conceptual model comprised of several stages: a literature review, a needs analysis, <br>development of the draft, validation/expert tests, revisions, activities of focus group discussions, and finalization <br>of models. The data was obtained from various elements of information that were relevant to earthquakes<br>through questionnaires, the assessment format, and recording of the activities of focus group discussions; these <br>methods were analyzed by using a descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of this development were the <br>formulation of course objectives, competency standards, basic competencies, subject matter, approaches to <br>learning, teaching methods, and types of assessment. These components are interrelated to one another and have <br>clear ideas, are comprehensive, and are positioned to equip students to be functional in the face of an earthquake.</p>}, number={40}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Alwen Bentri}, year={2017}, month={Oct.}, pages={140–147} }
