Abstract
This study aims at improving students critical thinking skills and student learning activities in biochemical courses. The efforts in improving critical thinking skills are carried out by applying the problem-based learning model using “blended learning” method. Blended learning method is implemented by integrating the face-to-face learning with online learning into the syntax of problem base learning. Face-to-face learning is done in the classroom, while the form of online learning is done by utilizing internet facilities and online discussion forums. This type of research is categorized as a classroom action research with quantitative descriptive research methods. The instrument used to collect data was a critical thinking test sheet and an observation sheet. The data of test results is done by calculating the percentage of critical thinking and determining the criteria. Data from observations of learning activities are also calculated using a range of values that appear and determine the criteria. The results showed that the percentage of students critical thinking skills in the first cycle was 52.29% (quite critical), while in the second cycle it increased to 64.43% (critical). The teaching activities of lecturers in the first cycle and the second cycle were 36 (good category). Student learning activities in the first cycle is 35 (good category) and in the second cycle is 34 (good category). The conclusion of this study is the application of problem-based learning (PBM) using the blended learning method can improve critical thinking skills and student learning activities in biochemical courses.

Abstract
It has been noted that a positive human–nature relationship is important to prevent and counter environmental problems. Ecology and Environmental Sciences is one of the courses provided by science education program in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The course focused on knowledge and attitudinal outcomes to promote students connectedness with nature. The objective of this study to investigate whether environmental education provided by this course can help promote and sustain students connectedness with nature. With a pre- and post-test design, we assessed a comprehensive in two-day modules in a field trip framework, which included hands-on indoor (classroom) and outdoor (mangrove and marine ecosystem) using -Inclusion of Nature in Self- scale (INS) to monitor shifts in reported connectedness with nature. Twenty-three students (prospective teacher students) participated in this study. We found that participating in the course resulted in a robust short-term increase in connectedness with nature scale. Therefore, strengthening connectedness to nature is an essential factor to sustain an environmental education in the schools by providing science teachers who have a strong connectedness to nature.

Abstract
Abstract. One of the biggest calls for educators to take part in the 21st century learning is to make sure students equipped with creative thinking. To empower these skills, a variety of effective learning models can be implemented. The current study aimed to develop a learning model that has the potential to improve students- creative thinking by integrating Problem-Oriented Project-Based Learning (POPBL) and Student Team Achievement Division (STAD), hence called POPBLSTAD. Plomp design was used as the procedures for developing this product. It consisted of a preliminary investigation, design, realization/construction, test, evaluation, and revision. The model was examined through a quasi-experiment. The participants- creative thinking was evaluated based on five indicators: fluency, originality, elaboration, flexibility, and metaphorical thinking, using an essay test. The POPBLSTAD learning model was confirmed valid with a score of 3.47. The results of the ANACOVA analysis showed that the implementation of POPBLSTAD improved student creative thinking significantly. This finding suggests that POPBLSTAD can be used as an alternative learning model that is effective to refine student creative thinking.

Abstract
Enhancing Students- Activeness and Concept Comprehension and Teachers- Perception on Teacher Quality Improvement through Lesson Study Rusdi Hasan, Nasral Tanjung and Yani Ernawati Dept. Biology Education, University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu, Indonesia Corresponding author: rusdihasan@gmail.com Abstract Lesson study (LS) originally developed in Japan with over a century is a form of teacher inquiry in which teachers in small groups undertake collectively a cycle of “plan-do-review/see” activities to improve pedagogy and so pupil learning and progress. LS has been practiced in many countries worldwide as well as developing countries in South East Asia region. This paper reported the implementation of LS on enhancement students- activeness in classroom and concept comprehension in biological class as well as teacher-s perception on improving their quality as LS applied. The study was employed in Senior High School Muhammadiyah 4 in Bengkulu located in Southern Sumatra of Indonesia. We used cooperative learning model in three cycles of LS practice of this study. Each cycle consisted of three steps i.e. Plan, Do and See. The results showed that students- activeness during LS in cycle I were 1.9% of excellent, 46.3% of good, 50.6% of fair and 1.2% of poor. The students- activeness were better in cycle II become 7.4% of excellent, 56.2% of good, 36,4% of fair and 0% of poor. In cycle III students- activeness rise to 11.7% of excellent, 71.6% of good, 16.7% of fair and 0% of poor. Students who had excellent and good categories collectively increases from 48% to 64% and 83 % in cycle I, II and III, respectively. In contrast, students who had poor activity decrease from 1% to nil in cycle I to the next cycle. LS made lesson process better and better and enjoyable by students. It was mirrored by student-s comprehension on biological concept in term of Reproduction in human in this study was increased from 64.2 to 75.8 and 82.7 in cycle I, II and III of LS, respectively. Those results reflected that LS implementation improved students- activeness on biology lesson and concept comprehension in biology. On the other hand, all teachers evolved in this study perceived that LS implementation can improve teachers- professional quality and promote teachers professional development. They strongly agreed that LS to be beneficial for them to become a better quality biological teacher.

Abstract
Argumentation plays an important role in the development of science which is not just finding and presenting facts, but building arguments and considering them, and debating various explanations about phenomena. The research aimed to capture the consistency of argument by students on socioscientific issues of cloning. Students have chosen purposively with the subject of 170 high school students from three high schools in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia. This research uses a case study approach with a descriptive analysis to analyze student test results of argumentation. The consistency of argument consists of claims and reasons itself. The result shows the pattern of agreeing and disagree about cloning in 3 topics; 1) human, 2) animal for Qurban purposes, 3) extinct animals. The higher consistency showed disagree in topics 1&2 about 56,47% and consistency of reason for each topic are 1)religion 40%, 2) religion 57,6% and 3) science 83,5%. Then, the consistency of agreeing for all topics is 2,35% and disagree is 14,71%. This provides that, consistency in argumentation between topics of cloning is based on the context of phenomena, which is greatly influenced by science, religion, and social norms. It needs to be implemented to improved students argumentation in schools.

The research aims to reveal: (1) Differences in student level of thinking before and after the implementation of inquiry-based science learning; (2) Differences in student level of thinking before and after the application of conventional learning; and (3) differences in student level of thinking between students taught by inquiry science learning and conventional learning. Samples were 60 students in class X IPA SMA Negeri 2 Fakfak, West Papua. A total of 30 students in the experimental group, and 30 students in the control group. Data were collected using 9 items of students thinking ability test. To measure the thinking level of students, rubric 5 levels of SOLO Taxonomy are used. Data analysis were used Wilcoxon test and Mann Whitney Test. The results of the analysis show that 29 students experienced an increase and 1 student remained at the level of thinking in inquiry-based science learning class (p <0.05), 13 students experienced an increase and 17 students remained at the level of thinking in the conventional learning class (p <0.05), and students who taught inquiry science learning has a better level of thinking compared to students in conventional learning (p, 0.05). We conclude that inquiry science learning has a better effect on the level of thinking of students than conventional learning. going forward, to improve students thinking skills, teachers can use inquiry science learning

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of the implementation of local primacy-based comic media on students conservation attitudes. This research was a quasi-experimental that adopted and modified the design of separate sample pretest-postest designs. Two experimental schools, namely SDN 1 Gili Indah and SDN Teratak, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia were taken purposively with a total of 52 students. Data on student conservation attitudes was collected through questionnaires. The data were converted into percentages then analyzed using the paired and independent sample t-test. The results of this research showed that there was an effect of the implementation of local primacy-based comic media to students-conservation attitudes. However, the geographical location of the school did not have an impact on students- conservation attitudes.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Altas media based on constructivist approach towards improving student learning outcomes in Plant Anatomy. This study used a pretest and posttest pre-experimental design. Data were analyzed descriptively and statistically, namely analyzing observations of the ability of lecturers to manage learning, student activities during learning using atlas media based on constructivist approach abilities before and after using atlas media. The results showed that the atlas media was effectively used in learning with the ability of lecturers to manage 80.5 learning included in the excellent category and during collage activities 80.3 students studied included in the very active category. These results indicate that learning using atlas media is more effective in improving learning outcomes in plant anatomy.

Abstract
This study aims to test the effectiveness of the modified free inquiry strategy in Molecular Biology. The quasi-experimental method used involves one experiment and one control group. Topics covered are DNA Isolation, Electrophoresis, and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Multiple choice objective tests have been used as data collection instruments. Statistical differences test shows that no significant difference in mean scores between the two groups on all topics, so it was concluded that modified free inquiry strategy was not effective in Molecular Biology especially on the topic of DNA Isolation, Electrophoresis, and PCR. The implication of this research is that the use of the modified free inquiry strategies can be supplemented with computer-based technologies such as virtual laboratories, and portfolio instruments can be used as alternative assessments to assess students mastery of concepts.

Abstract
The current study is a part of a three-year research aiming at developing student worksheets which are based on scientific project approach, which consists of inquiry, problem-based learning, and project-based learning models. This study is at dissemination phase, in which it attempts to investigate the effectiveness of the scientific project-based worksheets that were developed in the second year of the research. This study employed educational research and development (R & D). The instrument used to collect the data were scientific project-based worksheet, assessment sheets to assess the participants- cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects, questionnaires for teachers, practitioners and students. The dissemination involves 29 students taking internship program from 2013 to 2014, at several schools in Bandung. The results show that scientific project-based worksheets, with N-gain average of between 0.55-0.82 is categorized as medium and high, and significantly different at significance level α = 0.05. It means the use of the worksheets significantly improves learners- concept understanding as a whole. Feedbacks gained also suggest that the developed worksheet models have positive effects on the students attitude towards science, with the average score from 81.33 to 88.37. The rate for psychomotor aspect, with its mean value 80.73-91.67 has proven to be effective to encourage students to be more active during lab activities.

Abstract
This study aims to get an overview of the implementation of lectures in General Biology in the Chemistry Education FKIP Unsri. The sample of this study was Chemistry Education students in the 2018/2019 academic year (n = 43). The instruments used were documentation studies to find out the achievements of students in general Biology courses and survey questionnaires to find out the concepts that were considered the most difficult, the causes of difficulties understanding the concepts, and the interest of students in the quiz held before learning. The data shows that the achievement of student learning results shows 57.45% of students are still in the "C" and "D" assessment categories. Meanwhile, the concept of human physiology (41.86%) and cells (structure, metabolism, and reproduction) (39.53%) is the most difficult concept for students to understand. The difficulty of understanding this concept is due to the large number of uses of terminology (72.1%) and the weakness of students initial knowledge from previous levels of education (51.2%). These findings indicate the importance of diagnostic tests before the lecture is done so that the lecturer knows more about the weaknesses and strengths possessed by students so that the lectures that take place become more directed.

Abstract
Abstrak. Studying complex and abstract plant anatomy, the use of isomorphism diagram is one way to help students to understand the concepts. When studying diagram, students surely involve complex cognitive activities. One of The students- successes in understanding the various concepts contained in the diagram, can be determined by cognitive activities that occur in working memory. This research is a descriptive study which includes 10 senior high school students in Bandung. The research aims to analyze the relation between cognitive activities and students- comprehension towards spatial isomorphism diagrams of plant anatomy. The students are asked to analyze the spatial isomorphism diagrams of plant anatomical structures. Then, the students will be given questions to measure the level of comprehension after learning spatial isomorphism diagrams. The result shows that there are five kinds of cognitive activities when students study spatial isomorphism diagram. Those are activating prior knowledge, identifying images, comparing images, interpreting symbols, and drawing conclusion. Hence, there are several students who have low abilities, they only have two kinds of cognitive activities. This is in accordance with the level of students- understanding of plant anatomy in the medium to low categories. The result shows that the type of cognitive activities that students have contributes the students- conprehension of plant anatomy.
