THINKING SKILLS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PERSPECTIVE OF NEW STUDENTS OF BIOLOGY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT THROUGH BLENDED PROJECT BASED LEARNING MODEL
ABSTRACT: This study aims to
analyze the difference of thinking skills between treatment (using Blended
Project Based Learning Model) and control (non treatment) classes. This is
quasi-experimental study of new students of Biology Education as research
subject. The thinking skills difference between treatment and control was found
out through statistical test of SPSS. The result shows that there is difference
of thinking skills (self-regulated, critical, and creative thinking) between
treatment and control classes. The mean of self-regulated thinking of treatment
class (16.0) is higher than control group (13.4). Meanwhile the mean of
critical thinking of treatment class (19.7) is higher than control class
(16.7). Therefore the mean of creative thinking of treatment class (14.3) is
higher than control class (11.8). Therefore, it can be concluded that the model
of Blended Project Based Learning is effective to develop thinking skills of
new students of Biology Departement.
