Abstract

This study was conducted to figure out the influence of Resource-based Learning (RBL) learning method using internet toward learning achievement in Biology subject.

Data were analyzed by using t-test. Based on the data analysis, it was found that the value of t-calculated was 3.87 under the degree of freedom 95% (α=0.05) and the value of t-table was 2.00 under the degree of freedom of 69. Therefore, t-calculated was higher that t-table. This means that the alternate hypothesis was accepted.
