This research aims to determine students’ perception about The Nature
Exploration Approach, student’s learning outcome and the relations between
students’ perception about The Nature Exploration approach with learning
outcome of Biology Education student grade 2014 on Plant Ecology and Higer
Plant Taxonomy subject study in State University of Medan. The population in
this study were all students of department Biology Education Grade 2014 total
207 students. Samples were taken by Cluster Sampling technique. The total
number of samples is 60 students. The research method used in this research is
descriptive correlative, using questionnaires, documentation value and interview
as data collection tools. For data analysis technique that from the regression
equation Y = 1,39 + 0,014 X, using the formula product moment correlation
coefficient values obtained correlation (r) = 0,35 and index of determination (I) =
12,25%. This means that there is a positive and significant correlation between
students' perception of Nature Exploration approach with learning outcome of
Biology Education student on Plant Ecology and Higer Plant Taxonomy, where
the students' perception of Nature Exploration approach contributed 12,25% of
the studen’s learning outcome. The average grade of students’ perceptions of
Nature Exploration approach is 133,75 on a hig category. The average grade of
students’ learning outcome is 3,28 which is in the fairly category . Testing the
hypothesis using a statistical test t obtained t count > t table or 2,85 > 2,03. Thus H0
is rejected and Ha accepted. It can be concluded that there is a significant
relationship between students' perception of Nature Exploration approach with
student’s learning outcome of Biology Education Grade 2014 on Plant Ecology
and Higer Plant Taxonomy in State University of Medan.
