This study aims to use a model and learning tools with the JAS (Natural Exploration) approach integrated in the plant taxonomy course on plant determination. The research method in this research is descriptive using a qualitative approach. The research was conducted in September - November 2019 in the odd semester of the 2019/2020 school year. Population and sample The population in this study were 43 students of the Biology Education study program, University of Flores. The sampling technique in this research is non probability sampling with purposive sampling technique. The sample used was 43 students in the study group (rombel) of the plant taxonomy course, odd semester 2019/2020. The research location is in the Kelimutu National Park. The result of this research is that the implementation of the taxonomic learning model based on natural exploration is considered quite interesting and can encourage meaningful teaching and learning activities. According to the results of interviews with biology students, this method has advantages, including (1) being able to improve understanding of taxonomy courses, which identify plants, (2) Being an attractive medium to trigger learning motivation because it is related to the real context around it, (3) it can guiding those who have been less concerned with the richness of their local culture by motivating them to be more proud of exploring the nature around their community, and (4) guiding to view taxonomy material as meaningful lessons, not just memorized concepts.
