A Survey was done at 12 areas where includes 23 districts/cities reveals low achievement of standard and basic competences in Biology subject, namely: Area I includes South East district and Gayo Lues district; Area 2 includes Bireun district and Lhoksumawe city; Area 3 includes Pidie district and Pidie Jaya district; Area 4 includes Simeulue district; Area 2 includes Langsa city and Aceh Tamiang district; Area 6 includes Bener Meriah district and Center of Aceh district; Area 8 includes West Aceh district and Nagan Raya district; Area 9 includes Banda Aceh city and Sabang city; Area 10 includes East Aceh district and North Aceh district; Area 11 includes South West Aceh district and South Aceh district; and Area 12 includes Singkil district an Subulussalam district. Regarding to the problem,experts in related fields developed problem solving model through research and service. This service activity aims to examine the effectivity of the model implementation in order to improve the SK and KD competences towards students in Aceh province. The model is conducted through series of activities: 1) First stage, conducting MGMP workshop to identify problems found based on result of PMPMP research in 2011, then is getting same perception among service activity members, 2) Second stage,developinglesson plan, getting same understanding in developing RPP refers to Taxonomy (Affective, cognitiive, Psychomotoric), and 3) Third stage, Open Lesson Implementation, gathering all development documents as agreed valid format to be used all over Aceh province. The effectivity of the model implementation is measured by achievement level of determined indicators and improvement of teacher and student competences towards problematic SK and KD in Biology. The implementation shows that generally model and activity stages can be applied, teachers, principals and school supervisors are improved in planning and implementing learning through modelling activity. Key words: Quality Improvement,Competence Standard,Basic Competence, model implementation INTRODUCTION PM-PMP Service in 2012 was targeted for High School level (SMA) in Aceh province where the targeted schools are the location of PP-PMP research done in 2011. Each District has 3 samples of high schools. This service is supported and alligned with education quality improvement program ofrelated institution such as Provincial Office of Education, District/City Office of Education. PM- PMP research conducted in 2011 revealed problems and relevant with the condition and quality of learning implementation at the sample schools in every district. According to National Exam found that UN score for high school in Aceh Province is low compared to other provinces, indicated by the average score and analysis of student comprehension level at various competences in Biology. According to National Exam report, informed that Aceh education quality for at every levels is low compare to other provinces in Indonesia. Student comprehension level at every competence in Biology is not distributed equally or variative. Futhermore, for certain competences, 5-7 competences at every subject has students comprehension level under 40%, even there are 3-5 competence where This paper has been presented at Sriwijaya University Learning and Education-International Conference 2014. Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sriwijaya University, Palembang, May 16—18, 2014. C2-509 PROCEEDINGS ISBN: 978-602-70378-0-9 the level of student’s comprehension is under 10%. The significant difference of level comprehension in between competences cause the average final score of Biology is not maximum. The following are factors cause national standard can not be achieved: 1) limited comprehension about content curriculum; 2) limited comprehension about subject matter, especially Biology subject; 3) lacking of biology teacher’s pedagogical knowledge ; 4) lacking of facilities and infrastructures; 4) unconducive learning culture; and 5) low level capability in managing school. The mentioned factors affect negatively students’ comprehension on learning material and National Examination. METHOD Lesson Study is considered as suitable solution to solve the identified problems that had been mentioned previously, it is indicated by PPMP in 2011
