Abstract

Biology learning is a subject that is considered important in shaping students to be qualified. There are allegations of the low quality and low motivation of students, because: 1) There is no experience of students in learning to find and find their own concepts or material to be taught: 2) Students are not directly involved in assessment; 3) Teachers are less creative; 4). Saturation occurs with students. This study aims to improve the quality of learning and student motivation in mastering the concept of Plant Classification System in class X of SMA Negeri 7 Ambon. This study used a Classroom Action Research Design completed in three cycles. The results achieved illustrate that the better the learning managed by the teacher in the classroom, the better the quality of learning. Structured assignments, interesting material delivery, harmonious attitudes between teachers and students, between students themselves, and support by teachers increases student learning motivation. The teacher's attitude in dividing attention, concentrating group attention, reprimanding students, and providing reinforcement increases student learning motivation. The processing of classes, including: setting up learning facilities, arrangement of seating, lighting, and aeration space, is a supporting factor for the learning process and a conducive learning climate.
