Abstract
Central Rote Regency is an area that has mangrove forest areas, the majority of which are still natural. Mangrove forest is an area in the estuary area has an important role in supporting the surrounding ecosystem. With the many benefits and functions of mangrove forests in estuarine areas, it is very needed to provide knowledge and understanding to students, especially in utilizing the natural potential around them to increase awareness of maintaining this protected area so that it is maintained and sustainable.
The purpose of writing this study is to take advantage of the natural conditions of the mangrove forest as the main learning resource to provide knowledge and concern for students. This is because there are still weaknesses in the presentation of material which is only in the form of theory without linking learning in the field. The development of teaching materials for mangrove forests in the estuary area in class X IPS can be taught to students using the Contextual Learning model. This model and method aims to increase the power of strong conceptual understanding and accommodate the involvement of students in understanding the material based on what is encountered around them through the Contextual Learning model. With the model and development of teaching materials, it is hoped that the learning process will be achieved in accordance with the basic competency standards and core competencies that have been stated in the geography learning syllabus for class X IPS which can cover aspects of knowledge and aspects of student attitudes.Keywords
