Abstract

Abstrak:   Biology Education is part of science education and as one of the subjects in schools that are expected to achieve the existing national education goals. One of the learning models used in the biology learning process is the problem-based learning (PBL) learning model. The application of problem-based learning models can improve the character of students. The procedure for implementing PBL is to identify problems, formulate problems, make hypotheses, collect relevant data, test hypotheses, and determine settlement options. This research approach is a literature study that examines the application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in the learning process in class. The expected outcome is an increase in the character of students, including responsibility, religious, discipline, tolerance, hard work, democratic, independent, social care, religion, and longkungan, nationality, and love for the motherland. The application of problembased learning models can improve students' critical thinking skills. PBL can improve the ability to answer open questions with many alternative correct answers and ultimately be able to improve the ability to think critically in the form of improvement from understanding to application, synthesis, and analysis Kata kunci: biology, problem-based learning (pbl), character, critical thinkin
