Euphorbia Hirta as a Learning Resource

Abstract

This study aims to identify the potential of Euphorbia hirta as a biological learning resource that can be utilized in educational settings. Euphorbia hirta is a plant commonly found in our surroundings. This plant offers various information that can be used to study plant organ anatomy, morphology, as well as its functions and benefits. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis through a literature review. Data sources were obtained from various scientific articles and books that deeply discuss Euphorbia hirta. The data collection process was carried out in three main stages: first, gathering journal articles and books relevant to the topic of Euphorbia hirta; second, organizing the data according to the designed research framework; and third, analyzing the organized data using applicable scientific principles and theories to achieve the research objectives. The analysis results show that Euphorbia hirta has great potential to be used as a biological learning resource, particularly in basic biology courses, plant anatomy, plant morphology, and higher plant botany courses. Utilizing Euphorbia hirta as a learning resource not only enriches the teaching material but also connects students more closely with their surrounding environment
