The Analysis Of The Causes Of Low Achievement Of Biology Lesson In The National Examination High School Students Of Muhammadiyah Jakarta And Tangerang

Abstract

The results of the Biology national examinations for Muhammadiyah Jakarta and Tangerang students are ranked second from the national rankings with an average score of 50.61. Nationally, middle school level student competencies in the field of Biology data show an uneven distribution. Based on this data, an in-depth analysis is needed to understand what is causing the underachievement of students in Biology in national examinations at all Muhammadiyah High Schools in Jakarta and surrounding areas. Through this analysis, we researchers will be able to accurately understand the problem of decreasing student achievement specifically in the field of biology so that researchers can map the competencies of Muhammadiyah high school students in DKI Jakarta and Tangerang on biological material in computer-based examinations. For data collection, this study uses a quantitative and qualitative mixed method. Finally we can convey the following: 1) The average value of the 2019 National Biology Examination at Muhammadiyah High Schools in Jakarta and Tangerang is included in the national bad category; 2) Biology materials most mastered by students are biodiversity and ecology; and 3) while the most difficult materials are biomolecular and biotechnology. In addition, we also note several factors that cause the low achievement of national exam scores in biology: limited exam time compared to the difficulty of evaluation materials, inadequate learning facilities and infrastructure, development that has less impact on the quality of the learning process, achievement high targets but not the mastery of all material, student factors, teacher factors and family conditions students come against the background of the low achievement of student learning outcomes.
