Critical thinking skills are one of the four main competencies that must be empowered in the 21 st -Century Learning. This study aimed to describe students' critical thinking skills through the application of blended-problem-based learning (PBL) in the Cell Biology course. The data sources of this research were 28 students who were taking Cell Biology Course in Department of Biology Education, Universitas PGRI Madiun. The research instruments used were 1) observation sheet, 2) interview guidelines, and 3) critical thinking skills test. The study was designed by applying blended-PBL on 12 topics. The data analysis was performed in descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the application of blended-PBL was able to train students to improve their critical thinking skills in term of how to answer the test given. However, further studies need to be done with a wider number of samples and material scope to get more comprehensive information.

One of some problems in sengon plantation is pests infestation. Eurema spp. is one of important pests which attact sengon plants in nursery and field. There are some techniques to control Eurema spp. A contro using biopesticides is one of some techniques to control some pests. This research aimed to study effect of bintaro's extract to control Eurema spp. in laboratory. The results showed that bintaro extracts have significantly effect to pest mortality and insect development. Insecticidal effects of Bintaro seeds extract is more strong than fruits and leaves extract. Bintaro seeds extract affected Eurema spp. mortality procentage is 90%, and successful making of pupa and imago are 16,67% and need 1,7 long days than control treatment. Chemical compound in bintaro extract is the most likely cause insectisidal effect to Eurema spp Paraserianthes

The application of innovative learning and lesson study (LS) have a potency to improve student thinking skills and activeness differently and mostly implemented separately. This study aimed to explore and compare the student critical and creative thinking skills as well as student activeness in the inquiry and cooperative models combined with lesson study-based learning practice.

The essay test delivered to measure students' critical and creative thinking skills and an observation sheet to measure student activeness. The data were analyzed by t-test to compare the student critical and creative thinking skills as well as the student activeness between the LS-inquiry and LS-cooperative classes. The result showed that LS-based inquiry learning improved the student critical and creative thinking skills that significantly higher than LS-based cooperative learning. The student activeness improved gradually as LS cycles during learning processes in either inquiry or cooperative learning, but no significant difference between these two learning models. It showed that inquiry learning plays a dominant influence in critical and creative thinking skills improvement, whereas LS in student activeness improvement otherwise.
