Sociobiology is a science that studies the biological basis of social behavior of animals and humans. The field of sociobiology is closely related to moral education which is important and crucial in the learning process at all levels of education. This research is aimed: (1) to implement the sociobiology approach in educational sociology and animal ecology courses; and (2) to describe the social behavior values that acquired by the students after participating in learning with a sociobiology approach. This research is a descriptive qualitative research.
