The Learning Strategy, Academic Capability, Problem Solving Skills, and Cognitive Achievement In Biology. This study investigates the effects of learning strategy, academic capability, and  their  interaction  on problem  solving  skills,  critical  thinking,  metacognitive  awareness,  and  cognitive achievement in biology.This  is  a quasi experimental  study  using pretest-posttest  non-equivalent  control group design. The sampleincludes 60 tenth grade students of Senior High School 4 Mataram. Instruments used are a test and a questionnaire. The data are analyzed using ANCOVA and follow up tests using LSD. Based on the data analysis, the following conclusions are drawn (1) there are effects of PBL strategy  and  integrated  PBL  and  STAD  on  problem  solving  skill,  critical  thinking,  and  cognitive achievement in biology, but not on metacognitive awareness, (2) there is an effect of academic competency on cognitive achievement in biology, but not on problem solving skill, critical thinking, and metacognitive awareness, and (3) there are no effects of learning strategy and academic competency interaction  on  problem  solving  skill,  critical thinking,  metacognitive  awareness  and  learning  cognitive achievement in biology.
