Abstract
Along with the rapid development of technology in the 21st century, students are not only required to understand the cognitive aspects, but also skills such as critical thinking and collaboration that are important to be trained so that they have an ability to adapt quickly. Critical thinking and collaborative skills can be trained on students with learning that is integrated with computer multimedia. This study was aimed at identifying the improvement of critical thinking skills and the profile of students' collaborative skills using multimedia-based integrated instruction (MBI2). The research method used was Pre-Experimental with One Group Pretest Posttest Design. The participants of this study involved 33 students (consisting of 13 boys and 20 girls) in grade VIII in one state junior high school in Bandung. The results showed that the increase in students' critical thinking skills was in the medium category with an N-gain value = 0.42 and the collaborative skills profile of the students was in the good category. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of MBI2 learning can develop critical thinking and collaborative skills of secondary school students on light refraction material.

Summary
Learning process is a pivotal part of human life. Humans always learn either as a need to adapt or to survive, to satisfy a sense of curiosity in solving complex problems in the society at large. The shift of the learning paradigm from teacher center towards student center learning is expected to improve the quality of education today. This paradigm emphasizes how students can learn well with the teacher as a facilitator in learning. The scientific learning approach can make students more productive, creative, innovative, and affective through strengthening the integrated realm of attitudes, skills and knowledge [2]. The learning process based on the 2013 curriculum requires students to be more active and motivated in learning activities. In this curriculum students are expected to be more critical and independent in the learning process. Independence, and confidence are the affective score that are expected to emerge [3]
