The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify student’s research skills and affective character through mini research-based learning. Research skills and character data were analyzed using percentage techniques. The results of research skills showed that the indicators of students’ information-seeking skills were able to use media sources 54.5%. Students are able to find references based on the title given 45.5%. Student information processing skills build time in finding information 36.4%. 90.1% of students are able to compile the concept and are able to compile the ideas obtained to support the topic. The results of research design skills, students are able to plan research 72.8%, develop instruments 63.6%, and collect data 54.5%. Things that need to be improved are the ability to compose problems 18.2% and literature review 9.1%. Mini research-based learning has a positive impact on the affective character of students. The domain of active student attitude in doing assignments was 72.7%, but 54.5% weak in aspects that were lecturers. The interest of students who always work on assignments is 72.7% and weak in the aspect of asking questions in class 54.5%. Self-concept is known that students enjoy studying microbiology 63.3%, however, 72.7% weak communication. The student score aspect states that the lecturer’s performance has reached a maximum of 72.7% and students believe that learning microbiology can change their life behavior for the better 63.6%. Affective skills are needed as consideration for developing students who will become prospective biology educators in the future.
