Preliminary Analysis of Biology Learning on Class X Students of SMAN 10 Kerinci

Abstract

Abstract - The low level of biology learning outcomes based on observations made and biology learning in the class still apply conventional learning, so innovative learning strategies are needed to improve students' competency knowledge. The purpose of this study was to find out the initial analysis of problems in biology learning in class X at SMAN 10 Kerinci. The study was conducted in April 2019. This type of research is quasi-experimental research. The population in this study was the tenth grade students of SMAN 10 Kerinci who were registered academically in 2018/2019. While the sample of this study was taken by random purposive sampling, then obtained the X class MIPA_A as the control class and class X MIPA_B as the experimental class. The instrument used is a test question. Data analysis was performed using the t test. The findings show that there are significant differences between biology learning competencies of students in the experimental class and the control class. Biology learning competencies of students in the experimental class were higher than in the control class. The average score of students' biological competence in the experimental class is 75.09 and in the control class is 68.90. If seen from the significant level of hypothesis testing of high initial abilities and low initial ability of students, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted with a significant level of <0.05. So, it can be concluded by applying quastion students have (QSH) active learning in biology learning with the help of picture media can improve learners' competency in the knowledge aspect.
