An Identification of Students’ Responses Towards the Implementation of Biological Learning to Answer the Challenges of Educators in The Industrial Revolution 4.0 Era

Abstract

Changes in the world are now entering the era of industrial revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) where information technology has become the basis in human life. Based on the initial evaluation, Indonesia is estimated as a country with high potential in facing IR 4.0. Nevertheless, education 4.0 is a response to the needs of IR 4.0. One of the challenges of educators in the IR 4.0 era was being able to innovate creatively in the implementation of learning. This study aims at identifying students' responses to the implementation of Bilogical learning. The subjects of this study consisted of 30 students of XI MIPA 7 Class of SMAN 1 Pariaman. Based on the results of the study, there were 73.33% of the students who were happy if the teacher did not come; 69.16% of the students had difficulty understanding the material taught by the teachers; only 27.50% of the students agreed if the teacher only used the lecturing method in teaching. The low innovation and creativity of the teachers in designing learning resulted in low interest in learning that would have an impact on student learning outcomes. Therefore, the identification of the students' responses to the implementation of biological learning was done to answer the challenges of educators in the industrial revolution 4.0 era.
