Abstract

The dominant learning method applied so far in the Pre-Professional Family Planning Course has been the discussion and question and answer one. However, this method is deemed not able to hone students’ analytical skills, sensitivity to problems, problem-solving skills, and the ability to evaluate problems. This is a problem since the course requires high analysis and critical thinking. Case-based learning is one of the case-based student-centered learning methods designed to improve higher-order thinking in solving a case. By using this method, students are expected to be able to hone critical thinking to solve problems holistically. This study uses a quasi-experimental method or Quasi-Experimental Design with the experimental design called One Group Pre-test - Post-test Design. Respondents in this study were students of the seventh semester of the Midwifery Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University, totaling 46 people. Paired T-Test test results show the value of sig. <0.05, which means that there is a significant difference between students’ critical thinking skills before and after the Case-Based Learning (CBL) intervention. In conclusion, the critical thinking ability of students of the Midwifery Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas, increased after the learning strategy change to case-based learning.
