– This study was aimed to know: (1) The influence of the use of Inquiring Minds Want To Know learning strategy in Biology learning towards learning achievement of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat. (2) The influence of the level of students learning activity towards learning achievement of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat. (3) Whether or not there is an interaction between the Inquiring Minds Want To Know learning strategy and the students learning activity towards learning achievement in Biology of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat in the academic year of 2011/2012. The population of this study was all of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat in the second semester of the academic year of 2011/2012. The sample of the study were XI IPA 2 students as the experiment class and XI IPA 3 students as the control class, taken by Cluster Random Sampling.

The data was collected using documentation technique, test, questionnaire, and observation sheet. The technique used to analyze the data was two-way Analysis of Variance (Anava). This study was a Quasi Experimental Research with Randomized Control Only Design. The results of the study can be concluded as follows: (1) There is a significant influence of applying Inquiring Minds Want To Know learning strategy towards affective and psycomotoric learning achievement in Biology of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat, yet there is no significant influence on cognitive ones. (2) There is an influence of students learning activity towards cognitive, affective and psycomotoric learning achievement in Biology of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat. (3) There is no interaction between Inquiring Minds Want To Know learning strategy and students learning activity towards cognitive, affective and psycomotoric learning achievement in Biology of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat
