This study aims to analyze the characteristics of student learning styles based on visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles as well as the characteristics of learning styles based on the surrounding environment. The research method uses descriptive qualitative. The research sample was using a random technique so that the total sample was 43 students. The instrument of this research is a questionnaire with 3 indicators of visual, auditory and kinesthetic as well as how the role of the surrounding environment in determining student learning styles. Supporting instruments using interview techniques. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics and qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the identification of student characteristics on learning styles is seen from visual learning styles (28%), auditory (31%) and kinesthetic (41%). Characteristics of learning styles in the form of environmental identification based on student interaction are learning alone (23%), studying with others in a calm state (28%) and learning with others by doing something (49%). Identification of the environment based on outdoor learning places is 77% and the percentage of indoor learning is (23%). Based on the identification results, the majority have the habit and desire to learn outside the classroom in developing their competencies, this is in line with the heutagogy learning strategy, namely independent learning, developing their own learning strategies, developing theoretical and practical materials together with people or groups who can work together.

This study aims to determine the influence of the guided inquiry model and problem-based learning on the conceptual understanding of class VII A and VII K students of State Tsanawiyah Madrasa (MTs N) 3 Sragen on environmental pollution material. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a non equivalent control group design. After being treated with the guided inquiry model, the average of students' learning outcomes was 89.5, while the problem-based learning model was 88.3. To prove that there is an effect of the two models on students' conceptual understanding, a paired sample t-test was conducted, in which the two classes showed a significance <0.05 so that H1 was accepted or H0 was rejected. Its means that the two models influence students' conceptual understanding of environmental pollution material. The guided inquiry model in this study has a higher impact than problem-based learning. These results are also supported by the N-Gain score on the guided inquiry model, which is higher than the problem-based learning model with scores of 0.67 and 0.53, respectively. Both N-Gain scores are in the “medium” improvement category.

One of the main problems in learning biology is the lack of student motivation in learning. This is partly due to the lack of learning media that can visualize learning more exciting and easily understood by students without multiple interpretations due to not seeing the real learning object. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the types or variants of e-learning media in biology learning and analyze the background problems based on previous studies of previous studies. The method used in this research is a literature study with a pure research style. The data collection technique is a library research technique with data sources in reference books and 37 articles relevant to research topics in the period 2013 to 2020. Data analysis is carried out using content analysis and exploration models, where the analysis results are used as a basis for interpretation. Based on the discussion that has been done, it can be concluded that this study found 15 types of e-learning media in biology learning that can increase student learning motivation, where the most influential media are android applications, interactive multimedia, animation, and original el-learning. In addition, it was also found that the background that caused the students' low motivation to learn was due to the lack of technology development in biology learning media, the lack of visualization of various objects of biology learning, and the lack of student interest in participating in biology learning.
