Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of the thesis guidance based lesson study (LS) to: 1) the acceleration of the student's accomplishment in Science Graduate Education Program UNS; and 2) the applicability of the implementation of problem based learning model. The method used in tne research was qualitative-descriptive. The population is all students of Semester 3^rd in the Academic Year  2012/2013 at  Postgraduate Science Education Program UNS. Samples were selected by purposive sampling as researchers’ guidance student (M) which included 4 students with the different background and occupation, namely: 1) M.1: undergraduate student  of biology education and working as a teacher at SMP Negeri Surakarta with 10 years of teaching experience; 2) M.2: undergraduate student of  biology education and working as a private high school teacher in Surakarta with 13 years of teaching experience; 3) M.3: undergraduate student of biology education is a fresh graduate and have not been taught; 4) M.4: undergraduate student of natural biology and working as a lecturer at the Academy of Private Nursing in Surakarta.
