Abstract:
This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the pictorial biology teaching material on
Kingdom plantae to improve students' learning achievements at SMA Negeri 3 Bolo. The research
method used was experimental research with two classes as the sample, an experimental class and a
control class. The effectiveness was measured by the results of the N- Gain Score test which were
analyzed with the independent sample t-test. The calculation results of the N-Gain Score test show
that the average N-Gain score for the experimental class (pictorial biology teaching material) is
72.5% of the quite effective category with a minimum N-Gain score of 57.45% and a maximum of
90.6%. Meanwhile the average N-Gain score of the control class (ordinary textbook) is 47.6% of the
very ineffective category with a minimum N-Gain score of 20.45% and a maximum of 70.00%. The
results of the t-test analysis shows that there is a significant difference between the class using
pictorial biology teaching materials and the other not using with a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05
or t of 9.003 compared to the ttable of 1.729 (significance level of 5%). Thus, t > ttable or 9.003 > 1729.
It implies that the pictorial biology teaching materials in the kingdom plantae material are effective
enough to improve the students' learning achievements at SMAN 3 Bolo.
