Abstract

The success or failure of the learning process in schools is greatly influenced by teachers in their choices. Teaching materials are materials or information used by teachers for their learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception, analyze the availability, and analyze the difficulties of teachers and students in relation to PJBL, PBL, and learning resources and materials that support deep learning. This study is based on qualitative research methods. This method directly distributes questionnaires to 20 students of class X MIA and four biology teachers, at SMA Negeri 2 Lubuk Pakam. Data were collected using observation, interview and document techniques. The results obtained are explained by explaining the observations in the discussion. Teachers try to provide various learning resources, including textbooks, science magazines, and laboratory videos. Students believe that the three methods of learning materials are relevant to daily activities and can help them understand the material. However, there are some problems that have not been resolved. For example, it is difficult to find access to digital learning resources, and there is no variation in teaching.

Abstract

Language is a crucial tool in scientific communication, particularly in biology, where precise terminology is essential. While Latin scientific names provide standardization, integrating local languages can enhance students' comprehension and engagement. This study examines the impact of using local languages in biological scientific terms among Biology Department students at Medan State University. A qualitative research approach was applied, using online questionnaires and the Guttman scale for data analysis. The results show that 69.93% of students have a positive perception of local language use in biology learning. Most students believe it improves understanding, preserves cultural heritage, and increases motivation. However, challenges arise when local terms do not align with standardized scientific names, leading to misunderstandings. Some students also find it difficult to translate scientific terms into their local language. Despite these challenges, integrating local language fosters cultural appreciation and active learning. A balanced approach combining local and scientific terms is necessary to ensure clarity and accuracy in biology education.
