Abstract

A weakness of the lecture-based learning method in universities is that students lack the ability to critically solve problems when learning materials that require problem-solving. Students are not given the opportunity to develop their critical thinking. The purpose of this research is to train university students to think critically when coping with the challenges of their daily lives. Students therefore need to be exposed to problem-based learning activities with a view to build their Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The research applies a classroom action research method that involves 44 university students in total as participants. Data is collected through observation, tests, discussions and evaluation, each of which is conducted for Cycles 1 and 2. In Cycle 1, a mean score of 59, while in Cycle 2 an average score of 83. It can be concluded from this research that the problem-based learning approach can indeed improve the higher-order thinking skills of university students.
