Thus, students' learning motivation does not decrease. This research aimed to describe students' learning motivation in science subjects with Biotechnology material after the strategy of Student Activity-Based Learning was applied. This research is quantitative and The research subjects were 64 students of 9th grade SMP Muhammadiyah 9 Bojonegoro for 2020/2021. The research instrument used was a learning motivation questionnaire which contains 20 questions divided into six indicators, namely intrinsic orientation goals, extrinsic orientation goals, task values, trust control for learning, selfconfidence, and anxiety levels. Measurement of each question uses a Likert scale, namely . strongly disagree, . disagree, . undecided, . agree, and . strongly agree. The results of the research were calculated using the percentage and average score. Furthermore, it is described in the form of categories. The results showed that the average score of the first indicator to 6th in a row were 3. The average score of all indicators of student learning motivation was 3. 57, which has a good category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the student's learning motivation in the science subject with Biotechnology material is categorized as good after applying the strategy of Student Activity-Based Learning. Keywords: the strategy of Student Activity-Based Learning, students' learning motivation Corresponding Author Author's last name quality of education, ranging from curriculum changes, holding socialization and training, changing the national evaluation system, improving facilities and infrastructure, to improving school management. Introduction Education is an effort made by someone with full awareness and planning. Since 2020, citizens of the world, including Indonesia, have faced a big problem, namely the Covid-19 All aspects of life undergo changes that cause concern. In education, students and teachers must change the learning process that has initially been face-to-face to online learning. It is done to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Thus, students are required to study independently. One of the efforts to improve the quality of education is to improve the teaching and learning The learning process experienced by students is influenced by two factors, namely external and internal factors, where the two factors are interrelated (Rusnawati, 2. External factors, or what is often referred to as external factors, come from outside the students that affect the learning process. These factors come from parents, schools, and society. In contrast, internal factors are also called internal factors that affect the learning process, such as students' physical condition, curiosity, comfort, and a sense of wanting to correct failures. Learning is a change in the abilities possessed by learners that take place A person becomes aware of the knowledge that was not previously understood through learning activities. At this time, the education system demands student-centered teaching and learning activities to function as facilitators and motivators. Various new educational concepts and insights related to the learning process have developed rapidly along with the rapid development of science and technology. Online learning is a learning system that is carried out without direct meetings between teachers and students, but learning is carried out with the help of the internet network. In these conditions, teachers are more required to choose and design models, methods, strategies, and learning media so that learning objectives can still be achieved optimally. Accuracy in choosing learning strategies is one of teachers' efforts to prevent and anticipate student boredom in participating in the online learning process. During the Covid-19 pandemic, students experienced difficulties in the learning process. Several factors cause it, including . there are not all students have cellphones or laptops, . mastery of technology for teachers and students is not optimal, . internet network constraints are inadequate, and . assistance from parents of students who have not been maximized, . limited physical interaction between teachers and students, so the explanation from the teacher is minimal. Many students complained and experienced decreased learning motivation during the Covid-19 pandemic, so the achievement of educational goals is less than optimal. The learning process can be done in a network . , and face-to-face is limited. It is done to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19. Student participation in learning does not guarantee the seriousness of students wanting to So it is the teacher's responsibility to ensure students have motivation in learning, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Learning motivation plays a critical role in the learning Students have the will and strength to carry out teaching and learning activities through learning motivation. According to (Sari et al. , motivation is one of the factors that influence the actions taken by an individual. that the existence of high learning motivation makes students enthusiastic and not lazy to take part in learning activities even though learning is carried out at their respective homes. Learning motivation is related to the mental condition of students, which the teacher can direct. This learning motivation is what moves students to take any action, so the role of the teacher to provide motivational encouragement to students is needed so that learning objectives can be achieved The growth of learning motivation in students can arise naturally from the student's greetings and the encouragement from outside. Law of the Republic of Indonesia. Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System 2003, explains that " The education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process. The students actively develop their potential to have religiousspiritual self-control, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed by himself, society, nation, and state". The quality of human resources is inseparable from educational Education is organized to develop knowledge, experience, skills, and expertise (Susanti, 2. Through education, a nation can experience progress and quality. A quality generation is expected to run the economic sector, politics, and science. Education in Indonesia still has problems, namely the low quality of education. Various efforts have been made to improve the Article title Thus, the learning environment also affects students' learning motivation. In the implementation of learning, a teacher is not only required to convey the subject matter but also to be able to make students motivated in following the teaching and learning process. course, this is related to the characteristics of the subjects taught by the teacher. Science is a science that studies natural phenomena in facts, concepts, and laws (Fitriyati et al. , 2. The laws in science subjects have been tested for truth through a study. Assessment of science subjects can be done through the process and the results. The science learning process can be done by providing opportunities for students to construct their knowledge independently. It provides a more meaningful experience for students. By generating student learning motivation, the teacher can use learning strategies that actively involve students in the learning process. One of the learning strategies used is the Student Activity Oriented Learning (PBAS) strategy. In the PBAS strategy, students learn subjects, which is emphasized in student activities. Hence, students rely not only on the teacher to obtain information related to the material they are studying, but students can obtain information from various sources according to the activities carried out. Thus, students are more independent in the following lessons. Indirectly, student learning motivation will grow because of the need in It is very different from learning carried out using the lecture method, where the teacher is the source of all information. When the lecture method is carried out in online learning, students will feel bored and unmotivated and leave the learning process that should be followed. According to (Noviardila, 2. , the PBAS strategy aims to form intelligent students who have positive and skilled characteristics. The PBAS strategy is a form of innovation in improving the quality of the learning process. Through PBAS, students can learn independently and creatively, thus gaining knowledge, skills, and attitudes that support the formation of motivation to learn. The PBAS strategy requires balanced and integrated learning outcomes between cognitive, affective, and psychomotor (Lianasari, 2. This learning strategy does not require students who are cognitively capable but cannot apply their knowledge in solving the problems they face and have an attitude that is not commendable. implementing the PBAS strategy in learning, the teacher presents learning objectives, arranges learning assignments with students, provides information related to learning activities, provides services to students, provides motivation, and helps students form conclusions based on the learning experiences carried out (Lianasari, 2. The characteristics of the PBAS strategy can support an increase in student learning motivation, especially in learning carried out during the Covid-19 Research related to student activity-based learning strategies to increase students' motivation to learn morals has been carried out (Agustina. The results showed that prior to implementing the activity-based learning strategy, the learning motivation of grade Vi-A students at MTs Teladan Ujung Kubu. Tanjung Tiram subdistrict. Batu Bara district, was still low. After applying the activity-based learning strategy, students' learning motivation experienced a significant increase. The results of interviews conducted by researchers with students of SMP Muhammadiyah 9 Bojonegoro for the academic year 2020/2021, primarily related to science subjects, showed that students lacked the motivation to learn. Students stated that online learning makes the learning process tedious, so students feel pressured to follow the lesson. It is supported by the results of observations when implementing science learning. Students are reluctant to participate when learning science, so teachers dominate online learning. When the teacher asks students to give their opinion, students do not infrequently respond in the learning process carried out by video conference, and students fall asleep. Students feel that the science material they learn cannot be applied in everyday life. Thus, the benefits of students' abilities in the field of science cannot be felt by students. The authors conducted research by applying the PBAS strategy in science learning based on this This study aimed to analyze the learning motivation of class IX students of SMP Muhammadiyah 9 Bojonegoro during the pandemic after the PBAS strategy was applied to the science subject matter of Biotechnology. Research Methods This research is quantitative and descriptive. Researchers conduct research by collecting data according to the research objectives, then displaying research data in numbers. To obtain data related to students' learning motivation, the researchers distributed questionnaires to students after implementing the PBAS strategy. The questionnaire is given to students using Google Forms.

Giving assignments to students will encourage students to find meaning in work. If students do not find work meaningful and tend to make external attributions, job avoidance may develop (Seifert, 2. Students will develop their motivation to complete the given task until this It shows a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation that runs simultaneously in Based on Table 5, students' learning motivation on the indicators of students' perceptions of the value of the task obtained an average score of 3. 74 or had a good category. shows that the research subjects perceive that the value of the assignments obtained in the Science subject of Biotechnology material will be good after the PBAS strategy is applied. The average score indicating that students' statements can get a higher score on Biotechnology material than their friends is 3. The average score is the highest average score of the five statements on the indicators of students' perceptions of the value of Table 6.

On this indicator, most of the students agreed that the Science subject of Biotechnology which he had done with the PBAS strategy, gave him new ideas and much experience. In addition, students are also motivated to get the maximum value on Biotechnology material. However, most of the students feel doubtful that they can make a real contribution to their daily life after implementing the PBAS strategy in the science subjects of Biotechnology. Based on Table 8, students' learning motivation on the indicators of students' perceptions of the level of anxiety obtained an average score of 3. 56 or has a good category. The lowest average score, 2. 8, was obtained in the third statement, namely that Biotechnology material is not tricky for research subjects. Based on the results of the motivation questionnaire, it is known that most of the research subjects stated that biotechnology material was still considered The highest average score of 3. 98 is obtained in the second statement. if the research subject has complete attention to biotechnology material, the subject can get a better score. The second statement was given a maximum score by almost half of the research subjects, namely 21 The indicator of the extrinsic orientation objective shows that students consider the science subject matter of Biotechnology to be something challenging, but students have the will to learn it. Most of the students agreed that implementing the PBAS strategy would make them curious about all the subjects studied in the science subjects of Biotechnology. However, the percentage of students who expressed doubt about their interest in all Biotechnology subjects was higher than the percentage of students who said they agreed or were interested, although the percentage difference All indicators of learning motivation obtained a good category after the PBAS strategy was applied. The study results showed that students had the enthusiasm to learn the science of biotechnology material so that maximum learning outcomes could be obtained. The intrinsic Author's last name was relatively small, namely 3. Thus, 50% of students expressed doubt that they would get an excellent score in the science subject matter of Biotechnology. from others, so his score should be higher on Biotechnology material when compared to his Students agreed that they should have full attention to Biotechnology materials applied with PBAS strategies to get these results. However, most of the students still expressed their doubts that Biotechnology material is not complex. The assignment score indicator shows that most students have a great desire to understand the subject matter in Biotechnology. Students have ambitions to get the best grades in Science subjects in Biotechnology, and students also realize that they do not study better in Science subjects. Biotechnology material, then it is entirely his fault. However, students also stated that they were still unsure if the Biotechnology material studied with the PBAS strategy had high usability. The student expressed doubt that he could understand the complex parts of the Biotechnology material in their way. It is supported by the number of students who ask the researchers when implementing the PBAS strategy, especially when fulfilling student Overall, the average student motivation shown by the six indicators has good criteria. The emergence of student learning motivation categorized as good is caused by the implementation of science learning material on Biotechnology using the PBAS strategy. The PBAS strategy requires students to be active to learn quality and meaningful. In this learning strategy, students not only master the knowledge but can apply the knowledge they have so that a balance is obtained between achievements in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, which in turn has a positive effect on the learning motivation of students. The self-confidence control indicator shows that students can control their self-confidence to understand the science subjects of Biotechnology to the maximum. Most of the students expressed doubts that he wanted to get a higher score because they wanted to show his Biotechnology skills to his However, many students also agreed and strongly agreed that he wanted to get the highest score because he wanted to show his Biotechnology abilities. Most of the students liked the subject matter in Biotechnology, so he agreed to study harder to understand the Biotechnology The highest percentage of students stated they felt nervous and worried when taking the Biotechnology material exam after the PBAS strategy was in doubtful answers. The results of this study follow research conducted by (Hamza, 2. , namely, there is a positive relationship between PBAS and learning The research suggests that the application of PBAS pays attention to the characteristics of the subject matter to be studied so that the expected results are achieved, namely an increase in learning motivation after the application of PBAS. In addition. Agustina . shows that students' motivation to learn morals after activity-based learning strategies has increased each cycle. A significant improvement was obtained in the second cycle, where the researchers made improvements to the learning process based on the findings obtained in the first Motivation refers to internal forces/impulses that guide individual behavior for a particular purpose (Ferreira et al. , 2. Therefore, it builds motivation internally in students and supports students' mentality externally to actualize themselves through attribution activities provided by the teacher. The self-confidence indicator shows that students have high self-confidence when the Biotechnology science subject is carried out using the PBAS strategy. The results obtained are supported by the courage of students to express their opinions and ask the teacher or friends. In this indicator, students agreed that their hearts beat faster when following the daily test on Biotechnology material. Students who learn are driven by their desires, then independently can find goals that they can achieve and activities that they must do to achieve learning goals (Wardani et al. However, students still have doubts about teaching Biotechnology material to their friends. Conclusion Based on the research data and data analysis, it can be concluded that the six indicators of learning motivation have the same category, which is good after the PBAS strategy is applied. The six indicators of learning motivation used are students' perceptions of intrinsic orientation goals, students' perceptions of extrinsic orientation goals, students' perceptions of task scores, students' perceptions of confidence control for learning, students' perceptions of self-confidence, and students' perceptions of anxiety levels. The average scores The last indicator, namely the level of anxiety, shows that students can control their anxiety and fear to get the maximum score in the science subject matter of Biostatistics. Most of the students agreed that he wanted to get recognition Article title obtained on the six indicators are respectively 3. 29, 3. Although the average scores achieved by each indicator are not the same, the difference between them is not too high. All implementing the PBAS strategy have not reached the maximum average score or are categorized as very good, so they still need to be improved. The researcher suggests that further research can combine the PBAS strategy with IT-based media in the hope that the learning motivation of the research subjects can reach the excellent category. 87202-451409010-abstraksi09082014045525.
