The results of the Biology teacher's interview at SMA Negeri 1 Petarukan shows that learning material for environmental change is carried out using varied lectures. The learning makes students less active in learning, so that student learning outcomes are low. This is indicated by the completeness of student learning outcomes in the two classes that are taught using varied lectures are 45% and 50% respectively. Learning about environmental change material that has been carried out has not linked the material to environmental care. One learning model that can be applied to improve learning outcomes and environmental care attitudes is problem based learning (PBL). This study aims to determine the effect of the application of PBL learning material on environmental changes to learning outcomes and environmental care attitudes. This research is a Quasi-Experimental Design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample in this study is class X MIPA 1 (experiment) and X MIPA 2 (control) which is taken using objective sampling technique. The results of the t-test show that t-count = 3.28 > t-table (df = 68) = 1.99 means that the learning outcomes of the experimental class on environmental change material are higher than the control class. The N-gain test results show that the experimental class obtains the N-gain category with high criteria, while the control class obtained the N-gain category with moderate criteria. The classical completeness of learning outcomes in the experimental class is 91.1% while the control class is 75%. PBL learning can also foster an attitude of caring for the students as indicated by the results of the environmental care questionnaire obtaining very good criteria. Based on the results of the study it is concluded that learning material changes in the environment of the PBL model had a significant effect on student learning outcomes in SMAN 1 Petarukan.

This study aims to map the Prior Knowledge that is owned by prospective students of Natural Sciences TeacherTraining Faculty Unsri. The sample in this study were prospective science teachers who are students from theChemistry Education Study Program Unsri FKIP (n = 71). The instrument used in this study was a multiple choicequestion in the form of a three-tier test. Questions are developed based on learning objectives and the results of previousresearch studies on similar topics. The results of this study indicate that there is a tendency for FKIP Unsri IPAprospective students to still have misconceptions and high lack of knowledge. Questions that show a high misconceptionare found in the topic of menstruation and pregnancy. A high percentage of lack of knowledge is shown in the topic ofgametogenesis. While the highest understanding of concept can be seen in the topic of the reproductive organs. Thefindings of this study can be used as an illustration to determine the steps for planning learning activities so that theycan help minimize misconceptions that occur after the learning process takes place.

Problem based learning (PBL) with video can be the concept of student knowledge on immune system material. The PBL 2013 model is widely used in learning or curriculum, but implementation is rarely used in learning. Based on preliminary observation at SMA N 1, it is known that the absorption capacity of immune system is 21.91% at national exam is the lowest. This research on the effectiveness of problem-based learning models with videos on student learning results in cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. The research sample consists of three experimental classes. Data sources include students' cognitive learning outcomes (pretest-posttest), affective learning outcomes, psychomotor learning outcomes, teacher qualitative descriptive analysis (interview) and student responses with descriptive percentage analysis. Data were analyzed by using the cognitive learning outcomes (pretest-posttest) in experimental classes. The questionnaire of learning implementation shows that the PBL with video on the immune learning system has been done well. The calculation of the N-gain value, the experimental classes has been increased by 0.77 with the high category. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that the PBL model for students is effective in applying material to cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning outcomes of students in SMA N 1 Semarang.

The learning process has been carried out in the conventional way, this is caused by the teacher's understanding of using multimedia is still not optimal, so the learning method used is still limited. This phenomenon makes the researchers interested in doing this research. The purpose of the study to determine the effectiveness of multimedia use in improving mastery of cell concepts. this study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the use of interactive multimedia provides a good value of effectiveness in mastering the concept of students cells, compared with learning using conventional media. This is evidenced by the t test on spss obtained value t = 0.00. Based on these results the average value of the gain experimental class is greater, which is 41, compared to the average value of the gain control class, which is 32. The results of this study is indicate there are differences in learning by using interactive multimedia and learning with conventional media. The success of this research can be used by educators in supporting the learning process, especially in biology.

High-level thinking skills are incredibly required to face the challenges in the 21st-century era. One of it skill is to think analytically or people commonly call it analytical thinking. Analytical thinking skills can be trained to the students with an effective learning model. This study aims to describe the enhancement of the analytical thinking skills of high school students on the learning of excretory system materials with quantum learning model. The subject in this study students grade XI in SMA Negeri 1 Boja, and MA Al-Asror which each of 2 classes of treatment. This research design is a quasi-experimental, with non-equivalent design pretest-posttest. Documentation, tests, questionnaires, and interviews are used as data collection techniques. The enhancement of students' analytical thinking skills on learning of excretory system materials with quantum learning model as primary data was analyzed with N-gain. The result of data analysis showed an increase of average analytical thinking skills of N-gain in both treatment class of MA Al-Asror of 0,53 with the medium category and in both treatment class of SMA Negeri 1 Boja equal to 0,79 with the high category. The secondary data result the average percentage of student activity in MA Al-Asror 79% and SMA Negeri 1 Boja 81,1%, both percentages are classified into a nice category. The analysis students questionnaire assessment in MA Al-Asror is 81% with effective category and SMA Negeri 1 Boja is 82% with the very effective category. The result of the analysis of teacher questionnaire assessment in MA Al-Asror is 75% with effective category and SMA Negeri 1 Boja is 97,5% with the very effective category. Interviews with students and teachers being presented by descriptive.

The study was aim to find out the effectiveness of the multimedia interactive for human reproduction system learning. The research was done at Junior High School 5 Pemalang with the design of research is Research and Development (R&D). The small scale trial of the product was done in 23 students with proportionate stratified random sampling method. The larger scale trial of the product was done in IX A class with Purposive Sampling Method and One Group Pre-test Post-test Experimental Design. The assessment from the experts to the multimedia interactive for system human reproduction learning obtains a high score as much as 89.58% for course assessment and 97.22% for media assessment. The results from the teacher and students response questionnaire in small scale trial obtain the average percentage as much as 100 % and 81.55 % respectively, which was high qualified. The effectiveness of Multimedia Interactive in learning could be seen in pretest and post test results with calculating N-gain and obtain N-gain 0.54, which was categorized as middle. Beside N-gain, the completeness of understanding the concepts become another effectiveness of multimedia interactive obtain 88% in classical completeness. The results of the study shows that the multimedia interactive was qualified and effective to enhance the students? learning outcome in the course of system human reproduction.
