Abstract

Biology learning is often considered as a difficult material to understand by students, especially because of the many Latin terms and complex concepts. One of the challenging materials is Biodiversity, especially in determining the classification of living things using the determination key. This study aims to identify difficulties experienced by grade X students at SMAN 1 Rantau Selatan in using the determination key to classify living things. Based on the results of observations and interviews with teachers and students, it was found that students had difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of biodiversity, scientific terms, and how to use the determination key. Learning methods that are more theoretical and less involved in practical activities are the main factors causing this difficulty. Students want more field activities or direct observations that can help them understand the material more contextually. For this reason, this study suggests that biology learning involves more practical activities and direct observations of real objects and deepens students' understanding of scientific terms and Latin. With a more practical approach, it is hoped that students can more easily understand the material on biodiversity.

Abstract

Low student interest in learning is a common problem that occurs in schools. The problem of low student interest in learning also occurs in SMP Negeri 3 Merbau in Biology Science learning,especially in Cell material. The main cause oflowstudent interest in learning is because students cannot see the shape of the cell structure directly so that they find it difficult to understand the abstract conceptsof cell material. This study uses a descriptive method, describing the state of a research object with facts that appear to be true. The data collection techniqueused in this study was direct interviews with research instruments in the form of interview sheets. Other factors that cause low student interest in learning Biology Science learning are the difficulty of students to focus during learning, low student memory skills, and lack of tools for the learning process. The use of video as a learning medium is a solution to solve the problems that occur. This is because videolearningmediaprovidesmanybenefitstobothstudentsandteachers, namely video teaching media increases student interest in learning, students are enthusiastic in listening to the material presented. With learning using videos, students can remember the material longer and their curiosity also increases.

Abstract

Laboratorium merupakan fasilitas penting dalam mendukung proses pembelajaran Biologi, terutama dalam kegiatan praktikum. Namun, masih banyak sekolah yang menghadapi keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana laboratorium. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kondisi sarana dan prasarana laboratorium serta dampaknya terhadap proses pembelajaran Biologi di SMAN 2 Rantau Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan subjek penelitian guru Biologi. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketersediaan alat laboratorium hanya sekitar 40%, sedangkan sebagian besar bahan praktikum tidak tersedia. Kondisi ini berdampak pada terbatasnya pelaksanaan praktikum, rendahnya motivasi belajar siswa, serta kurang optimalnya pemahaman konsep Biologi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan sarana dan prasarana laboratorium serta pengelolaan yang lebih baik guna mendukung kualitas pembelajaran.
