Students’ Creativity in Producing Biology Learning Media

Abstract

As prospective teachers of Biology, students have to acquire appropriate competencies of being good teachers. The competencies must be supported by their creativity, which can be developed by doing some projects in their learning process through producing Biology learning media. The students in this article are pre-service teachers of Biology Education who are studying in the university. This article presents some descriptions of Biology learning media, which were created by the students in the form of spinning fauna in Indonesia, biosumpit cells, plantae quick responses, digestive system scrapbook, biology ladder snakes, virus question boards, female reproductive system, bio minilab, and human skin display. Through experimental study by one-shot case study, this article describes the level of students’ creativity in creating the media as their final scores for Biology learning media project, which is in a good category with an average of 88.44; 17% (very good category) and 83% (good category). The students’ creativity in producing Biology learning media is also in a high category with an average of 2.66; 28% (fair categories) and 72% (high categories). Therefore, the students’ creativity which was supported by students and teachers in this study obtains the excellent final projects for Biology learning media.
