INTRODUCTION Technological disruption, such as a shift in activity using technology, has colored theindustrial revolution 4. 0, thus encouraging the formation of newness and community development, including in the field of education. The implementation of the Revised 2013 Curriculum is to respond to the Industrial Revolution 4. Readiness to learn is required to follow the development of a new curriculum that emphasizes mastery of 21st century skills to meet the era of the industrial revolution 4. 0, because the goal of Indonesian national education must be directed at efforts to shape 21st century individual skills and attitudes. Readiness is the willingness to respond or react (Gusmaweti, 2. Formal education in Indonesia is currently disrupted by the Coronavirus Disease .

The Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia issued Circular Letter Number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Educational Policies in the Emergency Period for the Spread of Corona Virus Disease. In this second point it is said that the learning process is carried out remotely, namely to provide meaningful learning experiences to students through online learning (Gultom, 2. One of the subjects taught in online learning is biology (Suryani and Lufri, 2. Education is a learning process in the form of teaching and learning activities, where there is interaction between students and teachers. In the field of education, teachers act as educators who guide students to be able to develop knowledge and can change the condition of students from not knowing to knowing (Sari, 2. The basic principle of learning is to develop the potential of students . ognitive, affective, psychomotor or in the new paradigm known as intellectual, emotional, spiritual and skill intelligenc. Biology learning means to develop the potential of students in the class both their cognitive, affective and psychomotor potential optimally in biology learning (Deswati, 2. Rumini, . stated that learning difficulties are an obstacle experienced by students in participating in learning and achieving optimal learning outcomes. So, it can be concluded that learning difficulties are obstacles that can have an impact on the learning process and less than optimal achievement results. There are several indicators of learning difficulties in students, namely . Students are not able to master the subject matter in the allotted time. Students do not achieve learning achievements according to their . students get a low level of achievement in learning outcomes compared to other students. Students do not show good personalities, for example stubborn, impolite, and do not adapt to the environment (Anggari, 2. Based on the above background, the writer conducted a research to determine the students' learning difficulties in biology and its relationship with the students' biology learning outcomes during online learning. In general, online learning at home . tudy at hom. is a good application so that it can refer to the ability of teachers and student participation to be more conducive. However, when online learning is too complicated, students may not be able to learn biology optimally, as well as when there is a lot of data that must be conveyed but internet or network access and also students' motivation and interest in learning are slow, of course this will interfere with student activities. THEORETICAL SUPPORT The existence of government policies to conduct online learning processes requires educators and students to master the use of technology. Educators have an important role in the online learning process to make students understand all the material being taught. This requires students and also educators to study and conduct online or online or distance learning but with the achievement and goals of education that are still of high quality and quality (Gusmaweti, 2. Learning is essentially a process, namely the process of regulating, organizing the environment around students so that it can grow and encourage students to carry out the (IJETZ)| International Journal of Education and Teaching Zone. Volume 1 (Issue . : 08-10 . Page 180 Students' Learning Difficulties A | Chairunnisa Sinaga. Gusmaweti. Azrita. Lisa Deswati learning process. Learning is also said to be a process of providing guidance or assistance to students in the learning process. The role of the teacher as a mentor starts from the number of students who have problems. In learning, of course, there are many differences, such as there are students who are able to digest the subject matter, there are also students who are weak in capturing the subject matter (Pane, 2. Science learning is an activity that contains meaning in the form of asking questions and investigating the universe both about natural phenomena and natural characteristics systematically. The scope of science study materials is living things and life processes, objects/matter, energy and its changes, as well as the earth and the universe (Yuliantri, 2. Biology is part of the Natural Sciences (IPA) which studies living things and their environment where there is a reciprocal relationship between living things and their In line with that. Nurlatifah . states that biology is a part of natural science that examines life, the surrounding environment, the interaction between life and the surrounding environment and phenomena related to it. In biology learning so far, the material tends to be presented in the form of Latin terms, classifications, anatomy, and morphology that students must memorize (Sari, 2. Factors that affect learning difficulties can be grouped into two categories, namely internal factors and external factors. internal factors of learning difficulties, namely learning motivation and interest in learning, social interaction factors. External factors of learning difficulties are the cost factor and internet access, the technical skill factor in learning, and the environmental and parental difficulties. Based on the description above, the researchers analyzed what factors could affect student learning so that they could be taken into consideration for Biology teachers to design learning strategies in the classroom, and as material for attention for parents to always give attention and support to children's learning needs (Zikra , 2. According to Sudjana, . said that learning outcomes are abilities possessed by students after students experience the learning process. In the teaching and learning process, a teacher and students carry out their duties not only in delivering and absorbing material but evaluating learning outcomes by one way of doing an exam called the midterm Learning outcomes are the success achieved by students after following several processes, one of which is studying and testing efforts to achieve the learning objectives that have been set. Learning outcomes show learning achievement with indicators of behavioral changes in humans, namely from not knowing to knowing, the emergence of changes in habits, the ability to appreciate, the development of social and METHOD The research method used is descriptive quantitative research method. The descriptive research method looks for the relationship between that variable and other variables (Sugiyono, 2. The purpose of descriptive research is to explain, summarize various conditions. Researchers conducted a study to see .

Volume 1 (Issue . : 08-10 . | (IJETZ) Page 181 Students' Learning Difficulties A | Chairunnisa Sinaga. Gusmaweti. Azrita. Lisa Deswati . How are students' learning difficulties in biology lessons during online The study involved high school/MA students with data and information collection techniques through a student response questionnaire instrument using Google forms and the research subjects amounted to 33 students. where this application is useful for distributing questionnaires quickly and widely through links distributed to research subjects, as well as researchers looking for relevant theoretical references according to the problems found by researchers. The student's response contains 30 statement items which are the elaboration ofthe indicators. Indicators to measure student responses regarding student learning difficulties in biology lessons during online learning. So that the data analysis was carried out descriptively and this study tried to describe students' learning difficulties in learning biology during online learning. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Based on research conducted on class XI students at SMAN 8 Padang, two data were obtained, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data in the form of the results of filling out a questionnaire on learning difficulties in biology through online learning given to 33 participants and secondary data in the form of student learning outcomes in the Odd Semester Final Examinations for the 2020/2021 Academic Year. At the trial stage of the research instrument, information was obtained that the instrument used was reliable. This is evidenced by the obtaining of Cronbach's Alpha value If the value of Cronbach's Alpha > 0. 6 then the research instrument is said to be Data from the research results of learning difficulties in biology through online learning of students are described in the form of tables and calculating the percentage value of each indicator of difficulties in learning biology through online learning can be seen in Table 1. Table 1. Analysis of Learning Difficulties Indicators Average score Motivation and Interest 2,81 Social Interactions 2,44 Cost and Access 2,53 Skills 2,57 Environment 2,57 Based on the results of the descriptive analysis of the questionnaire on learning difficulties in biology through online learning, the students showed the highest score 81 and the lowest score was 2. 44, from a total sample of 33 students. Overall, the difficulty of learning biology through online learning is high. Normality test was performed using the Kolmogrov-Simirnov test. Based on the normality test, the results showed that the data were normally distributed. it is known that the variable data on learning difficulties while online (X) is normally distributed where Lcount significant level 0. 806 > 0. and its relationship with learning outcomes (Y) is normally distributed where Lcount significant level 0. 962 > 0, .
