1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Problem
Development and change of condition in this time is very fast with the communication and information technology progress.

However the creativity of human resource will never disappeared, even will be growth with the amazing inovations, if the university students are given guidance from an early age by scientific activity as Human Investment until the next future they can control and exploit science of technology in recontruction of the Nation continuity.

Maizatul, (2005) Scientific attitude is curiosity, honest, humble, tolerance, care about environment, critical to scientific statement, objective to fact, conflict management, and aware the regularity of nature its mean creation of Allah SWT.
The problem that appear in academic culture character and academic scientific attitude of university student is less the involved and independent of the student in study process. The university student who inclined passive, not brave to said their argument, ashame to asked, until less good interaction between lecturer and student also student and student. Another reason they haven’t feel challenge in follow and master the course given lecturer. Afterwards the university student still lazy to fine reference of the lesson subject from another source and wifi facility not useful as maximal by the university student. Also can known if the university student divided to some group to finished the task in problem solve, only a few of university student can do and capable to finished the matter given by lecturer, the while another choose tell with their friends outside the lecture subject matter. Its mean the teamwork attitude and responsible of the student in group still lower. In general many constraints faced by students in gather the task not at the time, discussion of reports tend to watch. University student have college module only as the read resource without find another reference as increasing of insight, its mean the student get less in carefulness and discipline.
