Blended Learning is combinations of face-to-face (F2F) and online learning (media technology and internet-based learning), which is a flexible approach to meet the needs of individual students for that more effectively facilitate student learning. (Osguthorpe & Graham, 2003; Thorn, 2003; Bersin, J., 2004; Olapiriyakul & Scher, 2006 ; Garrison and Vaughan, 2008)
Young (2002) concludes that it is the single greatest unrecognized trend in higher education today”.

RBL
• Research-Based Learning is a variety of learning and teaching strategies that link with the research, teaching and learning. It includes of the using as follows: .• research outcomes
• research-process • research tools. • research context
The researches are created to develop the teaching and learning. (Blackmore & Fraser, 2007, Healey,2005a,)

The Scientific Mind : SM
The Scientific Mind (SM) as a dimension of human capacity that promote and facilitate the continual learning development and to understand the extent of complexity of problems.
Visser state that “The Scientific Mind ” is an integral concern in the development of human learning for the 21st Century.” (Visser, 2000, 2005, 2008)
The essential features for a scientific mind are : 1) inquiring 2) creativity, 3) collaboration, 4) rationality, 5) open-minded, 6) scrupulosity, 7) responsibility, 8) persistence, 9) honesty.

Garrison and Vaughan state that ,“there is no one formula for designing blended courses;
in fact, blended learning designs vary widely depending on the nature of the course content, the audience or students, the goals of the course, the instructor, and the technology available ” (2008).
The results of this research can be seen that the BL model which is the result of the RBL and the scientific mind. It is clearly enhance the students’ education. And It is better clearly understand how this research can be balance and harmonize the development of teaching and learning.
From the idea of Garrison and Vaughan, then we need to develop a better BL model using RBL to encourage the students’ scientific mind.

The development of a BL model
An Implementation of a developed model toward the students’ scientific mind
- to compare the score of the scientific mind before learning through the developed model and after learning. (t-test independent, effect size, effectiveness index (E.I.) )
- to study students’ opinion towards the developed model
Consists of 2 part as follow;
NU.
Part I : RESULT of the developed model was called “RBBL-SM model” The experts agreed to the quality of the RBBL-SM model in excellent level. ( =4.63, S.D.=0.55)
ObjectivesTo encourage a scientific mind : 1) inquiring, 2) creativity, 3) collaboration, 4) rationality, 5) open-minded, 6) scrupulosity, 7) responsibility 8) persistence, 9) honesty.
Concepts &Theory• Constructivism Theory, • Research-Based
Learning• The Learning Strategies
for develop the Scientific mind
• Blended LearningPrinciples 1. Focus on problem and activities learning to encourage the Scientific Mind such as metacognitive strategy, active learning , collaborative learning, project learning etc.2. Collaboration of teacher and learner by using 1) research process, 2) research tools , research outcomes and research context for promoting teaching ,learning and Scientific mind. 3. Mix F2F and Online Learning environment.
Nurturing Effects
The ability of learner in analysis thinking, system thinking, Communication Skills , (Demonstrate written and verbal skills) ICT skills for learning.
I: Orientation IV: Learning outcomes
• Teacher should create plan for BL course level consists of 4 phases : 1) Orientation for RBBL-SM : 1 weeks2) Practical-Strategies (pre-project) : 6 weeks 3) Project Construction : 7 weeks 4) Evaluation and Report : 2 weeks
• Learners should participate in orientation and all activities.• Institute / Faculty should supports the provision of integrated curriculum, service
learning resources and promote fund for research.

And when considered in each components, it was found that the 9 components on the efficiency of index values higher than 0.5, which is indicating that the students developed their scientific mind. as shown in Figure 3.

4. Students’ opinion about the RBBL-SM processes :
Undergraduate students had opinion about the RBBL-SM process that would appropriate in the high level.
It would help them to greatly develop their scientific mind, especially in terms of self-reflection and self-evaluation.
It would help them to understand themselves, and making them aware of their learning strength and weakness for self-learning development.
It would help them to develop not only their knowledge in higher levels but also they could gain problem solving, analysis thinking, communication skills and information communication and technology (ICT) using skills. Also, they are able to exchange their learning with their classmates as well.
The students also said that teachers and friends who both play an important role in developing their scientific mind, they receive encouragement and support from teachers and friends. All are the key for the development of their scientific mind.

CONCLUSION
It would be better to do more research and development on BL in order to find a better way to develop the students’ scientific mind. The research aims to point out that the development of a new BL model, it could improve the students’ scientific mind capability in over all; the results of this qualitative data would be collected for future comparisons.
Recommendations for further research.
It should have the development of scientific mind in depth. That is by learning the basic skills of the students or the learning style and so on.
