<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was ti increas student’s interest in learning biology for class VII A of SMPN 1 Beringin through the application of the CIRC type cooperative learning model with biological comic media on enviromental pollution material. This reasearch is a classroom action reasearch which takes place in 3 cycles. Each cycle consists of 4 basictages, namely planning, action, observation, and reflection. Collecting reasearch data using guestionnaires, observation sheets, and interviews. The validity of the data was measured by using a triangulation techniq, namely the triangulaton method.The data analysis tehnique used descriptive analysis technique.

The results of student interviews can be concluded that students are happier and find it easier to learn biology lessons. Students are also interested in learning, students also feel that learning during action is an interesting activity. This research is the application of the CIRC learning model accompanied by biological comics media on Environmental Pollution material can increase student interest in learning in class VII A SMP Negeri 1 Banyan 1 school year 2022 / 2023.
