Abstract

In Indonesia, online learning will still be carried out by teachers even during the post-COVID19 pandemic. It will even become a trend for future learning, including in biology learning. The implementation of biology learning must be in accordance with the principles and nature of science learning, namely relying on hands-on activities. However, in the post-pandemic period this needs to be considered to be accommodated in future learning trends. This research approach is a qualitative approach. Data collection is secondary data. The data comes from the results of previous studies that are still relevant to the contents of this study. After the research data is collected, the researcher will then process the data, so that the research results can be found. The results of the study show that virtual reality and augmented reality are becoming increasingly urgent to use in biology lessons, especially for complements and/or substitutes for objects that are difficult to present in class. Merging real and virtual learning has a positive impact. Materials that were difficult to understand at first, due to space and time limitations and difficult to present in class, will become easier to understand. Therefore, the use of virtual reality and augmented reality media is very appropriate for use in biology learning in Indonesia after the COVID-19 pandemic.
