ANALYSIS OF ACTIVE LEARNING IN SCHOOL (ALIS) ON BIOLOGY SUBJECT AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN SALATIGA

Abstract, Active learning in school (ALIS) is one of the learning models that can be applied by teachers to improve students’ achievement. This study aims to determine the implementation of ALIS indicator on biology subject at senior high school in Salatiga and to know the factors that influence it. This is a descriptive qualitative research and the data was collected using questionnaires, observation, interview, and documentation technique. The objects of study were 156 students and 5 biology teachers at five senior high schools in Salatiga. The results showed the percentage of ALIS indicators from low level to high were: learning to encourage students to interact multidirectional (60.42%); using the environment as a medium and learning resources (64.94%); maintaining the learning environment (65.81%); learning encourages student to think at high level (66.11%); student-centered learning (66.91%); there are feedback on student work (70.47%); monitoring the learning process by teacher (71.04 %); contextual learning (73.63%); learning model accommodate different learning style (75.71%).
