Abstract

This study aims to describe the effect of the IBSC model with the blended learning system podcast media on (1) students' critical thinking skills; (2) student communication skills; (3) describes the implementation of the IBSC learning model with the blended learning system podcast media; and (4) describes student responses to the IBSC learning model with blended learning system podcast media. This type of research is a quasi-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. The research targets were students of class X MIA 1, 2 and 3 of 69 students. The data were obtained through tests, observations and questionnaires. The data were analyzed descriptively and statistically through a T-test with = 0.05, as well as the N-Gain test to see the effectiveness of the increase.
