Advances in Research

The objectives of this study were: 1) To develop an open data-based village potential mapping model design in the Tomini Bay Region in the KKN course and 2) Test the validity of the open data-based village potential mapping model in the Tomini Bay Region in the KKN course, 3) Testing the effectiveness of the open data-based village potential mapping model in the Tomini Bay Region in KKN courses. The research method used in this study is the Research and Development research method of the Borg & Gall model of model development stages, which include (1) drafting the model, (2) expert and practitioner validation, (3) limited model trial, (4) more comprehensive model trial; and (5) model revision. The subjects of this study were 42 students participating in KKN in the Tomini Bay Region in 5 villages. The quality of the developed product was analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that (1) The design of the open data-based village potential mapping model developed has a very high level of validity with an average value of 0.87 and is feasible to use; (2) The open data-based village potential mapping model developed is practical to use, based on the value of model implementation which reaches an average value of 83.59% with perfect implementation criteria, and gets an excellent response from KKN student participants with an average value of 85.15%, (3) There was an increase in the average score between the pre-test and post-test in the control group, where the average score of the pre-test in the control group was 53.13 while the average score of the post-test in the control group was 73.84. There was a significant increase between the pre-test and post-test in the experimental group, where the average score of the pre-test in the experimental group was 56.65 and the average score of the post-test in the experimental group was 86.06.
