<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Biology laboratory activities provide a learning experience that allows students to interact directly with objects, procedures, and empirical evidence, yet such experiences are not necessarily interpreted in the same way by every learner. Differences in how students perceive laboratory implementation provide a basis for examining its relationship with learning outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between students’ perceptions of biology laboratory activities and the learning outcomes of students at SMA Negeri 16 Bone. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed involving 27 students from class XI.F4 selected through purposive sampling. Students’ perceptions were collected using a questionnaire, while learning outcomes were assessed through a biology content test. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including normality testing, linearity testing, Pearson Product Moment correlation, simple linear regression, and the coefficient of determination. Both students’ perceptions and learning outcomes were categorized as good. The relationship between the two variables was positive, with a correlation coefficient of 0.53 and a significance value of 0.004. The coefficient of determination of 0.29 indicates that students’ perceptions explained 29% of the variation in learning outcomes, while the remaining 71% was associated with factors outside the model. These findings position students’ perceived laboratory experience as one aspect associated with biology learning outcomes and provide a basis for evaluating laboratory-based learning with greater attention to students’ actual learning experiences. ABSTRAK Praktikum biologi menghadirkan pengalaman belajar yang memungkinkan siswa berinteraksi langsung dengan objek, prosedur, dan bukti empiris, tetapi pengalaman tersebut tidak selalu dimaknai dengan cara yang sama oleh setiap peserta didik. Perbedaan cara siswa menilai pelaksanaan praktikum menjadi dasar untuk melihat keterkaitannya dengan capaian belajar. Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan antara persepsi siswa terhadap pelaksanaan praktikum biologi dan hasil belajar siswa SMA Negeri 16 Bone. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional digunakan pada 27 siswa kelas XI.F4 yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Persepsi dikumpulkan melalui angket, sedangkan capaian belajar diperoleh melalui tes materi biologi. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial yang mencakup uji normalitas, uji linearitas, korelasi Pearson Product Moment, regresi linear sederhana, dan koefisien determinasi. Persepsi siswa maupun hasil belajar berada pada kategori baik. Keterkaitan kedua variabel bersifat positif dengan koefisien korelasi 0,53 dan signifikansi 0,004. Koefisien determinasi sebesar 0,29 menunjukkan bahwa persepsi siswa menjelaskan 29% variasi hasil belajar, sedangkan 71% lainnya berkaitan dengan faktor di luar model. Temuan ini menempatkan pengalaman praktikum yang dipersepsikan siswa sebagai salah satu aspek yang berkaitan dengan capaian belajar biologi, sekaligus membuka ruang evaluasi pembelajaran laboratorium yang lebih berorientasi pada pengalaman peserta didik.]]>
