This research employs developmental research for one year from two years as planned. Research methods and its study in the first year is started by theoretical studies conducted mainly in literature and rational considerations, and empirical studies when the trials of character-based interactive media is designed to explore critical and creative thinking skills of students. Result of this study can be drawn that the designed teaching materials are already able to direct students to discover concepts related to materials of Algebra, Quadratic Equations and Functions, and Systems of Linear Equations, and the given problems can explore critical and creative thinking skills of students. Teaching materials designed to be interactive media is ready to use to facilitate self-learning of the students. The further research is implementing capita selecta Mathematics as lecture using character-based interactive learning media to students who attend the lecture in order to determine the influence of media in developing interactive learning critical and creative thinking skills of the students. Keywords: Character-Based Interactive Media Learning, Critical Thinking Skills, Creative Thinking Skills 1. INTRODUCTION In an effort to improve the quality of education in Indonesia, in particular the quality of mathematics education should be a new breakthrough, both in curriculum development, human resources, learning innovations, as well as in the fulfillment of the educational facilities. Related to human resource development, the learning process plays an important role in enhancing the ability to think critically and creatively mathematical students. This is consistent with the purpose of the Faculty of Education (Guidance and Counseling) Tasikmalaya Siliwangi University to prepare teachers field of study in middle and high school, according to the necessaries of both quantity and quality. While one of the missions of Mathematics Education courses FKIP Siliwangi University si to conduct a quality of education in preparing the qualified educators of mathematics. Based on this, the students in the study program Mathematics Education as a candidates of mathematics teacher need to prepare themselves optimally to be able to fulfill the mission of Mathematics Education courses. To carry out this mission, one of the subjects being provision student teachers in middle and high school subjects are Capita Selecta of Mathematics. The Capita Selecta of Math discusses some selected topics in mathematics in middle and high school in depth include the way to present it in appropriate method as wells as the aplicabel of mathematics curriculum. Scopes of the course include: topics and middle school mathematics that are essential and frequent misconception, or a topics are felt difficult by students. To facilitate students’ self-learning, the use of instructional media is one of the alternatives in the development process of learning to become better. Munadi, Y (2008)
