Nature of models in biology learning

Abstract


A model is a key element in the daily practice of biologists, students, and teachers in learning biology. The existence of models, both physical and non-physical models, is crucial in learning implementation. Therefore, this article aims to explain the importance of the nature of model (NoM) in learning biology. This study used the literature review method. The literature review contains reviews, summaries, and the author's thoughts on several library sources. Thus, this study provides a description, summary, and information about the nature of models, especially in biology learning. Based on the literature study results, the study of the nature of models in the biology class is on the implementation of learning, teaching materials, and assessments. Models can be divided into types and characteristics that become alternative solutions to represent an object since biology studies a lot about living objects.

Abstrak

Model merupakan elemen kunci dalam praktik sehari-hari bagi para ahli biologi, siswa guru dalam pembelajaran biologi. Keberadaan model baik itu model fisik maupun nonfisik sangat penting dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penyusunan artikel ini adalah untuk menjelaskan pentingnya hakikat model dalam pembelajaran biologi. Kajian ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan (literature review). Studi kepustakaan berisi ulasan, rangkuman dan pemikiran penulis tentang beberapa sumber pustaka. Dengan demikian, kajian ini memberikan deskripsi, ringkasan dan informasi mengenai Nature of Models khususnya dalam pembelajaran biologi. Berdasarkan hasil studi literatur, kajian Nature of Models dalam kelas biologi terdapat pada pelaksanaan pembelajaran, bahan ajar, dan asesmen. Model dapat dibagi ke dalam tipe dan karakteristik yang menjadi solusi alternatif untuk merepresentasikan suatu objek, karena ilmu biologi banyak mempelajari tentang objek-objek kehidupan.
