“…The study by Ainley & Ainley (2011) showed that relevance and personal meaning are important factors in students' appreciation, interest, and engagement with science content. Furthermore, when students are convinced of the potential benefits of the subject for their future careers, this translates into a positive attitude toward the subject (Kubiatko & al., 2017). Thus, it is important to note that teachers have a crucial role to play in developing students' affective connections and positive attitudes toward LES.…”

This study examines the status that students attribute to the school subject of Life and Earth Sciences (LES) in terms of importance and preference compared to other school subjects. The study questionnaire was administered to a sample of 970 students (15±1,04 years) in the third year of middle school in the Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of Education in Taza (Morocco). The data collected are analyzed quantitatively. The results show that the LES school subject occupies an intermediate position in terms of importance and a late place in terms of preference compared to other school subjects. Furthermore, the gender difference in the importance of this school subject is not significant, whereas in terms of preference, the difference is significant in favor of females (p?0,05, negligible effect size). According to the grades obtained in LES, the differences are significant in terms of importance (p?0,05, small effect size) and preference (p?0,001, medium effect size) favoring the students with the highest grades in this school subject. To improve the status of LES, the study suggests showing students the importance of this school subject in their daily lives and their academic and career paths, reinforcing experiences that bring them more emotional gain, and adopting innovative and engaging approaches that facilitate their learning.

“…Beberapa siswa menganggap bahwa beberapa cabang biologi sebagai ilmu yang "tidak berguna" (Kubiatko et al, 2017) dan cenderung membosankan bagi siswa. Akibatnya, mereka tidak tertarik untuk belajar (Husamah et al, 2018).…”

Interest in learning is important in supporting student academic achievement. This often happens in biology subjects in the classroom. Many students expressed boredom in the lesson. Therefore, researchers will dig deeper related to aspects of student's interest in biology learning. The method used is literature study, which analyzes previous research. The results obtained are factors that influence student learning interest in biology subjects depends on student interest in teachers when teaching, interest in biology subjects, feeling happy with the way teachers teach and delivering material, attention to biology subjects, and being involved in the learning process and student tenacity when learning. In addition, internal factors (physical health, drive, arousal, and grasping ability) and external influences (environment, parents, teachers, learning styles, etc.) can affect students' interest in learning, the most important in interest in learning biology in the classroom is the initial and strong intention that students have when learning biology begins in class

“…Biology is a broad field of knowledge that requires the acquisition of knowledge within and outside of classroom environments. On the other hand, it is a subject that is least preferred by high school students (Kubiatko et al, 2017). Furthermore, some topics in biology were found to be boring for students, such as systems, tissues, and power transformation (Derman, 2017).…”

This test development study aims to develop and validate an achievement test in Biology designed for junior high school completers. Test items were pooled from selected lessons in Biology. The researchers prepared a table of specification (TOS) and subjected the102- item multiple choice type of examination to validation by experts. After the initial validation, the test had 88 items that were pilot tested among 172 grade 11 students at a private university. The researcher did item analysis which classified 67 items as "average," 21 as "hard," none as" easy," 10 as "very good", 12 as "good," 19 as “fair” and 47 as "poor." Consistency and reliability were obtained using Kuder-Richardson (KR) 20. A total of 22 items were retained of the 88 based on validation and item analysis. Three items that were initially classified as "fair" and with "marginal" difficulty index were revised to produce a 25-item final version of the Biology Achievement Test.
