Background: PBL appears to answer many concerns regarding educational methods, encourages students to look for new solutions to relevant problems using available knowledge and resources. The process expands students' critical thinking and problem solving skills while enhancing their creative capabilities Objective: To develop a PBL modules for teaching of organic chemistry. Methods: This module was developed for implementation in the curriculum of Chemistry Departments in Colleges of Sciences and Education. This is an innovations to be developed for increasing the wide-ranging abilities of students. A series of strategies which are involved in PBL, concept mapping and online communications, are suggested and discussed in terms of encouraging student-centered learning.

This writing aims to help teachers to increase motivation, activity, creativity, and critical thinking of students in solving problems in class. The way to increase student motivation in learning in class is to choose the right learning model with ongoing learning material. One learning model that increases students' creativity and critical thinking in problem solving is a Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. To improve students' insights in order to easily solve problems there is a need to do tasks, if students do not do the task then they must accept the agreed upon consequences when making learning contracts, thus modifying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with task strategies and forced. The results of the modification of learning with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model through forced and forced strategies are expected to improve the learning process so that students become more disciplined and do not waste time doing assignments. The advantages of modifying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with task and forced learning strategies are increasing student learning motivation, improving the quality of learning, training students' understanding by giving assignments continuously, teaching discipline to students in order to be accountable for tasks assigned, and reducing laziness in students.

The purpose of this reaserch are (1) find differences influence model of Group Investigation (GI) and Problem Based Learning (PBL). (2) find differences influence learning motivation of students to critical thinking abilities of learners. (3) find the interaction effect between learning models and learning motivation of the critical thinking skills of learners. This study will be conducted in SMA Martapura, Banjar regency, South Kalimantan. Subjects of the study were students of class XI SMA Martapura academic year 2015/2016. This type of research to be carried out in this study is a quantitative study using experimental methods. Design of this research is 2 X 2 factorial design to data collection technique motivation questionnaire and tests critical thinking skills. The result, 1) There is a difference between the positive influence of the Model Group Investigation (GI) and Problem Based Learning (PBL). 2) There are differences positively influence the motivation of students to critical thinking ability of students in learning the history. 3) There are nointeractions influence student learning model and motivation for students' critical thinking skill There is no interaction effect Learning Model and the Motivation of students' critical thinking skills of students in Learning Historys. Keywords: PBL Models, GI Models, Learning Motivation

Salah satu target dari Kurikulum 2013 adalah menciptakan peserta didik yang berguna, imajinatif, artistik dan amotif serta mempunyai andil dalam aktivitas masyarakat. Sejalan pada kurikulum 2013, kecakapan abad 21 juga menuntut peserta didik untuk memiliki kemampuan 4C yaitu critical thinking, creativity, communication and colaboration.  Hal tersebut dapat diwujudkan dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berbasis penyelesaian masalah (PBL) dengan pendekatan STEM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan LKPD terintegrasi STEM-PBL pada materi Hidrolisis Garam dan menentukan validitas dan kepraktisan LKPD yang dikembangkan. Jenis penelitian berupa Research and Development (RD) dengan menerapkan model 4D, yang meliputi empat tahap yaitu: tahap define, tahap design, tahap develop dan tahap disseminate. Penelitian ini dibatasi hingga tahap develop, tahap disseminate tidak dilaksanakan karena keterbatasan waktu. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar validasi dan angket praktikalitas. Validitas dan juga kepraktisan data dianalisis menggunakan Formula Cappa Cohen. Berdasarkan hasil analisis angket validitas yang dilakukan oleh 5 orang validator didapatkan moment kappa (k) sejumlah 0,89 pada kategori kevalidan sangat tinggi. Hasil analisis uji praktikalitas terhadap 2 orang guru kimia diperoleh moment kappa (k) sejumlah 0,73 dengan kategori kepraktisan tinggi dan praktikalitas terhadap 9 orang peserta didik kelas XII sejumlah 0,92 pada kategori kepraktisan sangat tinggi. Hasil data mengungkapkan LKPD terintegrasi STEM-PBL valid dan praktis untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran Kimia, terutama materi Hidrolisis Garam.

This research aims to describe and analyze result of applying Problem-Based Learning and Cognitive Conflict Strategy (PBLCCS) in increasing students’ Mathematical Critical Thinking (MCT) ability and Mathematical Curiosity Attitude (MCA). Adopting a quasi-experimental method with pretest-posttest control group design and using mixed method with sequential explanatory strategy, the study involves undergraduate students of Mathematics Education Program at a private university in Riau, Indonesia, academic year 2015/2016 enrolled in Number Theory course. Quantitative data were obtained from essay test and questionnaire whereas qualitative data were from interview and observation. The findings show that; (1) there is a difference between MCT ability taught by PBLCCS and Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI), (2) there is no significant difference between MCA taught by PBLCCS and EDI, (3) students still face obstacles in developing their critical thinking skills when solving matematical problems.
