- Abstract
Problem-solving is an individual's cognitive process to achieve the goals and solutions to the problem at hand. Problem-solving is a serious concern of the government of the Republic of Indonesia to prepare graduates who have high competitiveness. This study aims to describe undergraduate students' thinking skills in the material of solubility and titration results through the implementation of problem-solving based learning materials. The design used is One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. This research was conducted in the chemistry department Universitas Negeri Surabaya with the subjects of 31 undergraduate students. This study obtained the following results: (1) Each indicator of thinking skills of the trained undergraduate students got percentage, namely identifying known knowledge 66.67%, setting learning objectives 81.72%, compiling problem solving strategies 84.95%, implementing problem solving strategies 82.80%, making conclusions 86.02%, and checking answers 64.52%; and (2) N-gain scores for each indicator of thinking skills obtained have medium and high criteria. Based on the results of the study, problem-solving based learning materials have a role in improving undergraduate students' thinking skills
