Penelitian ini didasari karena banyak siswa yang memiliki self efficacy yang rendah dalam pembelajaran biologi dikarenakan siswa masih kurang peduli terhadap tujuan dalam mengikuti pembelajaran biologi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi antara self efficacy dengan hasil pembelajaran biologi pada kelas XI SMA 1 Rambatan. Metode yang digunakan ialah metode deskriptif  kuantitatif dengan pendekatan korelasional. Subjek pada penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas XI. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan mengunakan  instrument angket dan nilai hasil belajar siswa. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah uji korelasi product moment dan uji signikafikansi dengan uji t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara self efficay dengan hasil pembelajaran biologi, pada kriteria sedang. Namun demikian hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan self efficacy siswa bukanlah satu-satunya faktor untuk meningkatkan hasil pembelajaran biologi siswa, tetapi masih banyak lagi faktor yang mampu mempengaruhinya.

AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pembelajaran kooperatif Small Group Discussion (SGD) dengan talking stick berbantuan handout terhadap hasil belajar Biologi siswa kelas VIII di SMPN 5 Padang Panjang. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen semu dengan rancangan penelitian randomized control group posttest-only design. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik random sampling, dan sampel yang terpilih adalah kelas VIII 1 sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas VIII 2 sebagai kelas kontrol. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data kuantitatif didapatkan hasil belajar Biologi siswa kelas VIII SMPN 5 Padang Panjang dengan menerapkan pembelajaran kooperatif Small Group Discussion (SGD) dengan talking stick berbantuan handout terhadap hasil belajar Biologi siswa Kelas VIII di SMPN 5 Padang Panjang lebih baik dari hasil belajar Biologi siswa yang menggunakan diskusi face to face relationship berbantuan handout. Pembelajaran kooperatif Small Group Discussion (SGD) dengan talking stick berbantuan handout terhadap hasil belajar biologi siswa Kelas VIII di SMPN 5 Padang Panjang dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar biologi siswa. AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cooperative learning Small Group Discussion (SGD) with the talking stick assisted by handouts, on Biology learning outcomes of class VIII students at Padang Panjang Middle School 5. This type of research is quantitative research using quasiexperimental methods and as a study design using a randomized control group posttest-only design. Sampling is done by random sampling technique, and the selected sample is class VIII 1 as the experimental class, and class VIII 2 as the control class. Based on the results of quantitative data analysis, Biology student learning outcomes were obtained by applying cooperative learning Small Group Discussion (SGD) with talking sticks assisted by handouts to Biology learning outcomes of Class VIII students, at Padang Panjang Middle School 5, better than Biology learning outcomes of students 'using face to the discussion face relationship assisted by handouts'. Cooperative learning Small Group Discussion (SGD) with a talking stick assisted by handouts can improve the biology learning outcomes of Class VIII students, at Padang Panjang Middle School 5. PENDAHULUANPembelajaran Biologi adalah salah satu komponen pembelajaran di sekolah yang sangat berperan penting dalam mengembangkan potensi siswa, mengembangkan keterampilan dan menyadarkan siswa akan pentingnya kelestarian alam dan tetap menjaga

Chemistry and biology are interrelated branches of science, but students majoring in Chemistry Education are often considered as less ability to understand several biological concepts. The aim of this study was to obtain the information about the response of Chemistry Education students on General Biology course. The research was a descriptive study conducted in August to December 2017 in which the subjects were twenty-four first-semester students of Chemistry Education who take General Biology course at Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teaching Sciences, State Islamic Institute Batusangkar, West Sumatera. The instrument used was the questionnaire of student responses on General Biology course. The analysis used was descriptive statistical analysis by using percentage.  The best response of students on General Biology course is on assessment transparency aspect, while the lowest response is on lecture attractiveness aspect. The conclusion, the response of Chemistry Education student who has taken General Biology course in State Islamic Institute Batusangkar on the criteria good. Although from Chemistry Education Program, most students give positive responses to General Biology course. Information obtained from this study can be used as a basis for improving the quality of General Biology course, especially in Chemistry Education Program.

Existing Human Physiology Anatomy teaching materials tend to have a gap between the content of teaching materials and students, and there is no link to the verses of the Qur'an and the values of Asma al Husna. This study aims to develop didactic and contemplative-based teaching materials for human anatomy and physiology. Research development (R & D) used the ADDIE model. The participants in this study were three experts and 58 sixth semester biology students, majoring in biology department, Tarbiyah and Teachers Training Faculty, IAIN Batusangkar. The research instruments were observation sheets, interview sheets and validation questionnaires. The mean and standard deviation were calculated to determine the validity. Didactic and contemplative teaching materials in the Human Physiology Anatomy course were developed to fulfill all aspects of a development research, according to the characteristics of a teaching material, having didactic and contemplative characteristics. The didactic and contemplative teaching materials developed contain didactic aspects in the form of various activities, according to student learning styles, there is contemplation practice, contains Asma al Husna and contains verses of the Qur'an. The didactic and contemplative teaching materials developed have validity with very valid criteria (3.45±0.43). Thus, these teaching materials are suitable for use in classroom learning, fill the gap between the content of teaching materials and students, stop the separation between "knowledge" and "student-self" and deserve to be used as a reference in developing teaching materials that integrate science and religion
