Abstract

Reflective thinking skill is needed by prospective and in-service teachers. This study aims to develop problem based learning program with Gibbs reflective cycle and e-portfolio to enhance reflective thinking skills of biology education students who participated in Plant Development online tutorial. Development research is used in this study is conducted through preliminary study, program development, trial of the program, program revision, and program implementation. This paper will discuss about the results of the program development and the trial of the program that were conducted in 2017. The Program development is conducted through program design development, instrument development, validation of program design and instrument by experts, and program development based on the revised program design. The trial of the program is conducted three times with different strategies to see which strategy is most effective to be implemented. Based on the results of experts validation, the results obtained that the design of programs and instruments can be used as references in the development of the program with some improvements. Based on the trial of the program, the results obtained that the program is needed to be improved in terms of setting access between sub-initiation and between initiation.
