%T STUDI ANATOMI SKELETON IKAN NILA (Oreochromis niloticus) DAN PEMBUATAN ATLASNYA SEBAGAI SUMBER BELAJAR SISWA
%X This research was motivated by the limited availability
of learning resources based on skeletal anatomy studies of
vertebrate animals, particularly fish, at the senior high school
(SMA/MA) level. The skeletal system of vertebrates is an
essential topic in biology education that requires concrete and
detailed visual representations. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis
niloticus) was selected as the research subject due to its wide
availability, affordability, and relevance as a representative
teleost fish with a complete and complex skeletal structure.
This study aimed to: (1) describe the skeletal anatomy of Nile
tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) systematically and in detail;
(2) develop an anatomical atlas of the Nile tilapia skeleton as
a student learning resource; and (3) assess the feasibility of the
atlas as a biology learning resource at the senior high school
level. This research integrated two methodological
approaches: a descriptive qualitative approach for the skeletal
anatomy study and a research and development (R&D)
approach for atlas production. The research subject was Nile
tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) obtained from the local
environment. Skeleton preparation was performed using the
maceration method to produce clean and intact bone

specimens. The feasibility assessment of the atlas was
conducted in stages by a media expert, a subject matter expert,
a high school biology teacher, and peer reviewers, followed by
a limited trial involving 15 Grade XI students at SMA IT Abu
Bakar Yogyakarta using Likert-scale assessment instruments.
The results revealed that: (1) The skeleton of Nile
tilapia is composed of two major divisions: the axial skeleton,
encompassing the neurocranium, splanchnocranium (upper
and lower jaws, hyoid apparatus, gill arches, and opercular
series), and the vertebral column (atlas vertebra, trunk
vertebrae, and caudal vertebrae); and the appendicular
skeleton, comprising the dorsal, anal, caudal, pectoral, and
pelvic fins along with all their supporting bones and radials;
(2) The anatomical atlas of the Nile tilapia skeleton was
successfully developed as a printed medium containing direct
documentation photographs from skeletal preparations, Latin
nomenclature for each skeletal component, and systematic
descriptive annotations; (3) The atlas was declared highly
feasible as a biology learning resource, with feasibility scores
of 81% (Feasible) from the media expert, 97% (Very Feasible)
from the subject matter expert, 97% (Very Feasible) from the
biology teacher, 94% (Very Feasible) from peer reviewers, and
89% (Very Feasible) from student practicality.
