Abstract

This case study explores factors influencing students' interest in Science Subject at Al-Muayyad Surakarta Middle School. Recordings of lessons with 1 teacher and 25 students were analyzed qualitatively, focusing on classroom interactions. Results reveal challenges like low interactivity, monotonous delivery, material difficulty, and lack of relevance hindering student interest. External factors, such as low confidence and busy schedules, impact learning concentration. Teachers play a vital role, and interactive teaching practices, incorporating discussions, experiments, and relatable content, enhance student engagement. Strategies involving stimulating questions and reducing formula use boost participation. This research contributes valuable insights for developing effective teaching practices to enhance student interest in junior high school science subjects
