The research data has been gathered using documentation, observation and testing. For data analysis, quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods are used. The researchers have carried out two cycles with each cycle con-sisting of two lecture meetings. In the first cycle, researchers used Google classroom, mind mapping, online quizzes, and Instagram social media to improve interaction and the quality of lectures by applying blended prob-lem-based learning. Researchers focused on improving students' critical and creative thinking skills in the first cycle. The results showed that the stu-dents have good critical and creative thinking skills. In the second cycle, re-searchers still continued to use Google classroom and combined it with face-to-face lectures using "make a note" assignments and group discus-sions. Researchers took quantitative measurements to see the success of the treatment. The results showed that students were able to obtain better grades than before being given the treatment.
