The diagram results show high walls from 78% of laboratories, 76% of the curriculum, 70% of methods, media, and evaluation, and 67% of teacher competence. Overall, the data collection results show that with high barriers, obstacles to implementing the biology learning process cover an average of 72%. The results of this study can be used as a reference for teachers in schools, especially biology to design learning activities that further stimulate students' creative processes.
