Abstract—Development of teaching material is very necessary
because it will make valid, practical, and effective teaching
material. The purpose of this research was to develop the
teaching material in the form of valid field research based
handout on palm tree population structure in Rampah
Manjangan waterfall, Loksado region, as a supplementary
material on ecological plants population concepts. The type of
this research was Research and Development (R & D). The
measures used in this study refer to Sugiyono (2013) which have
been modified into the steps of: 1) Doing the needs analysis 2)
Developing the initial product 3) Validating to the experts and
legibility 4) Revising Product and 5) Analyzing the data. The
results showed that the validation score of teaching materials in
the form of handouts feasibility aspects of the content was
88.23% (highly valid), the presentation of the feasibility aspects
was 91.66% (highly valid), feasibility aspects of language was
93.26% (highly valid) and students test legibility was 87.50%
(excellent). From the assessment of expert validation and test of
legibility students the teaching materials, the handout on palm
tree population structure (Arenga pinnata Merr.) in Rampah
Manjangan waterfall Loksado was highly valid and very well
used as a supplementary material on ecological plants
population concepts in Biology Education Department,
Universitas Lambung Mangkurat, Banjarmasin.
