In conducting this research, the researcher used the Descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The researcher selected 15 Biology students as the sample for this study. The instrument used for the practicum was interviews, where aspects inquired about the importance of modules in practicum and the conditions of practicum without modules. Meanwhile, the data analysis used in this research was qualitative data analysis, which involved summarizing the results of the interviews that had been described.
