After launching an online Computer Science post-baccalaureate degree program, this study was undertaken to inform the redesign of an introductory Computer Science course using a student-centered, problem-based learning approach. The research team proposed a weekly/unit learning trajectory as they were engaged in student-centered, problem-based learning. Over a timeframe of three university terms, the research team used a design-based, iterative examination to refine the implementation of various instructional actions in the learning trajectory. Multiple small groups of students discussed their learning experiences each term, providing directions for improvements. The analysis directed successive iterations, refining the content, problem solving, and collaborations in the class. This research method assured authentic student voice in an iterative redesign of the course.

 Problems in learning introductory computer science which need urgent resolution is the problem related to the creativity of the student learning. Along with the existence of the use of software geogebra to ease the learning of mathematics, as well as the existence of a problem posing approach, the above problem resolution efforts got the right momentum. The learning approach that is used in this research is the h problem posing approach with combined use of software geogebra. As for the purposes of this learning approach is to improve creativity of students learning.This research activity involves two lecturers and 21 students in class introduction of computer science at semester 4 academic year 2015-2016. Student creativity data collected by using a sheet of observation which further analyzed in qualitative descriptive.Based on the results of data analysis it is known that the use of the problem posing approach can raise average student learning where creativity before the cycle 1 is being implemented (score 1.06). While once held a series of activities cycle 2 is known to the average student learning categories include creativity high (score 2.09). This indicates the occurrence of increased creativity learning of students.

Problems in learning introductory computer science which need urgent solution is the problem related with the students learning actinevess. Along with the approach of problem posing, problem solving efforts above got the right momentum. Learning approach used in this research is problem posing approach. The purpose of the research is to increase students’ learning activeness. This research activity involves two lecturers and 21 students in course of introduction of computer science at semester 4 academic year of 2015/2016. The data collected using the students activity sheet and analyzed in qualitative descriptive. Based on the results of data analysis it is known that the use of the problem posing approach can raise average students learning on the activeness of cycle 1 that included in the category of low and at cycle 2 is included in the category of middle. It means an increase in students’ learning activeness after organized research activities. Keywords: learning activeness, students creativity, problem posing approach

The purpose of mathematics learning is the student will have high order thinking. This will be needed by student to solve their problems. Learning approach like teacher centered study can not develop their high order thinking. High order thinking is a thinking-level involve bloom's taxonomics. One of the student-centered learning is problem based learning. It can develop a high order thinking in mathematics. This article will show up to you about the problem-based mathematics learning.

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.

The learning improvement of physical education can be done through implementing learning approach which is suitable for 21st Century era. This research is a descriptive quantitative research which aims to describe the effectiveness of the hang style long jump learning using problem-based learning approach based on students’ learning outcomes and attitude in vocational high school context. The subject of the research were students of  X ATR 1 and X TKRO 1 students of SMKN 1 Cangkringan. The data were obtained from the result of observation sheets, learning outcome tests, and questionnaire of students’ attitudes towards learning. The result showed that hang style long jump learning using problem-based learning approach was effective based on students’ learning outcomes and learning attitudes. The passing students reached 100% for X ATR 1 students and 80,65% for X TKRO 1 students.  The students’ learning attitudes towards physical education subject in the category of minimum more than 80% high were 100% for X ATR 1 students and 90.32% for X TKRO 1 students.
