Abstract

The results of observations at SMA N 10 Semarang, teachers have tried to increase student motivation and learning outcomes by providing assignments and digital-based learning media but the there are still not optimal. The implementation of teacher learning still uses a lot of the conventional learning model. Students consider biology lessons to be just a collection of concepts that must be memorized. Students still do not associate much learning material with phenomena that exist in the surrounding environment. The effect is students are less motivated in learning the material.
