Abstract This paper highlights the voices and experiences of individuals who objected to animal dissection in their high school science and biology classes. The data were collected via online surveys (n = 311), and 8 of these participants took part in more in-depth telephone interviews. Participants were former students from Ontario, Canada, who discussed their experiences with animal dissection in general, and objection to dissection in particular, if applicable. The findings reveal that students who expressed objection to dissection experienced a range of teacher responses, including pressure to participate, the request to join another group of students and watch, the choice to use a dissection alternative, warnings of compromised grades, and other responses. The study points to the importance of choice policies to ensure that dissection alternatives are available in classrooms. In this way, students can select among different options of how they would like to learn, and teachers can be prepared to accommodate those who choose not to dissect.

Motivation Model

<p><em>Motivation is the mean or a process that can be used to affect someone in a positive way so that it can motivate a person to achieve learning outcomes. Learning hours is the time needed to do learning activities well in school.<strong> </strong>In this study, researcher was interested to know the effect of motivation on learning outcomes moderated by students’ effective hours in the school.<strong> </strong>Without motivation, the learning process will be difficult to be succesfully achieved. This quantitative research was conducted as a case study in high school science students. The study aimed to show an effective model for achieving better student learning outcomes. There were 32 high school science students who became sampled in this study. The data were collected through questionnaire and students’ test results. The result was processed and looking for the average by using SPSS.  From the SPSS analysis, it was found that the learning motivation was valid and reliable with the value 0.775 and 0.795. Then, it is concludede that motivation model using students’ effective hours as a moderator can improve students’ learning outcomes in schools. </em></p>
