Student’s Ability to Write Practicum Reports in Plant Morphology and Invertebrate Zoology Practicum

Abstract

This study aims to describe the writing ability of students. The type of research is descriptive quantitative. The research subjects were Tadris Biology Semester II students who attended the Practicum of Plant Morphology and Invertebrate Zoology Practicum courses totalling 26 people. The object of research is the report on the results of Practicum of Plant Morphology and Practicum of Invertebrate Zoology. The data collection technique in this study is documentation. Documents collected in the form of practicum reports for Plant Morphology Practicum and Invertebrate Zoology Practicum courses prepared by each individual student in each practicum. The data in this study were analysed descriptively quantitatively. The results showed that the percentage of students' ability to write reports on Plant Morphology practicum was 50% in the good category, 50% in the good enough category, 0% in the poor category, and 0% in the very poor category. In the practicum of Invertebrate Zoology, 0% were in the good category, 84.62% were in the good enough category, 15.38% were in the poor category, and 0% were very poor. Based on these data, it can be concluded that the average ability to write reports in the practicum courses of Plant Morphology Practicum and Invertebrate Zoology Practicum is in the good enough category.
