<p><em>The demands of the 2013 curriculum ideally are that learning is able to develop 4C skills, one of which is critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Critical-Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills), namely being able to think critically, laterally, and systematically, especially in the context of problem solving. In fact, students' critical thinking skills have not been maximally developed, especially in elementary schools. The learning process in elementary schools currently requires problem-based learning that requires students to actively carry out investigations in solving problems and the teacher acting as a facilitator or learning guide will be able to shape the ability of students to think critically. The purpose of this research is to describe the concept of Problem Based Learning (PBL), the concept of critical thinking ability, and the relationship between Problem Based Learning (PBL) and critical thinking ability. The results of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model improve critical thinking ability.</em></p>

Based on research conducted by PISA, the ability to solve problems and think critically of Indonesian students is still below the average score set by PISA. Problem based learning is one of the learning models recommended by the Ministry of Education and Culture to be applied in improving these abilities. However, the lack of problem-based learning that has been applied so far is the lack of use of media that can be used as support in learning activities, resulting in inconsistencies in the impact of problem-based learning in improving student skills. The importance of these skills for students to have in this era of the industrial revolution 4.0, makes educators have to be more creative and innovative in implementing learning. Therefore, this study aims at seeing efforts to improve problem solving skills and critical thinking skills through problem based integrated computer assisted instruction (CAI). This study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design. The population in this study were undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering Education, Padang State University. The instrument used in this research is a questionnaire which is used to see students' problem solving and critical thinking skills. The data analysis technique in this study is in accordance with the research hypothesis, where research hypotheses 1 and 2 use independent sample t-test and research hypothesis 3 uses MANCOVA. The research covered by his study is in line with higher education's continuing search for effective SCL approaches

Pendidikan keperawatan dituntut untuk menghasilkan sumber daya manusia perawat yang kompeten, baik secara akademik maupun dalam tataran praktik. Berbagai penelitian merekomendasikan pendekatan student centered learning dengan metode Problem-Based Learning (PBL) sebagai metode yang efektif memfasilitasi pencapaian kompetensi perawat. Metode ini akan memberikan pengalaman bagi mahasiswa untuk menghadapi real-world problem solving. Meski demikian, bagi mahasiswa program sarjana (undergraduate), pembelajaran PBL merupakan pengalaman baru. Selain itu, literatur juga menunjukkan mahasiswa yang justru frustasi saat menjalankan metode ini. Dengan demikian mengidentifikasi persepsi mahasiswa terhadap metode pembelajaran ini merupakan hal penting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi perspektif mahasiswa tingkat akhir mengenai pembelajaran dengan menggunakan metode PBL. Penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif ini menggunakan total sampling dengan melibatkan 159 mahasiswa tingkat akhir di salah satu institusi pendidikan tinggi keperawatan di Bandung. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan Course Experience Quesionnaire yang dikembangkan oleh David Caroll (2013). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian secara umum menunjukkan 46,94% responden mempunyai perspektif netral; 42,86% responden mempunyai perspektif positif; dan 6,20% responden memiliki perspektif negatif. Dilihat berdasarkan dimensinya, 50% mahasiswa memiliki persepsi netral terhadap kualitas pembelajaran (good teaching scale); 83,3% persepsi positif dalam keterampilan umum (good skills scale); 100% persepsi netral dalam kepuasan mahasiswa (overal satisfaction); 80% persepsi netral terhadap kejelasan tujuan dan standar pembelajaran (clear goals and standars); 75% persepsi netral terhadap tingkat penugasan (appropriate workload scale); dan 33,3% persepsi positif terhadap evaluasi pembelajaran (appropriate assessment scale). Hal ini menunjukan mahasiswa tidak secara tegas menilai pelaksanaan PBL baik atau tidak baik. Hal tersebut dikarenakan di satu sisi mereka merasakan ada hal yang positif dari pelaksanaan PBL tetapi disisi lain ada hal yang negatif yang mereka alami.Kata kunci: Evaluasi, mahasiswa, metode, persepsi, problem-based learning. AbstractNursing education was demanded to form human resources that fulfill qualification such as academic potential and practice that are good in order to form a professional and competent nurse. Various studies recommend student centered learning approach with problem-based learning method as an effective method for the achievement of nurse competence, because it provides experience for students to face real-world problem solving. However, for undergraduate students, PBL learning is a new experience that is different from that obtained during high school, in addition some studies also show students who are frustrated in class, so the evaluation of how students’ perceptions of this learning method is important. The research aimed to identify final grade student’s perspective on learning using problem-based learning method. The research method was using descriptive qualitative, and instruments used Course Experience Quesionnaire developed by David Caroll (2013). The sample in this research is the final grade students at nursing higher education institution in Bandung with total 159 people and taken data by using total sampling technique. Data analyzed by frequency distribution. Results of research showed 46.96% of a neutral perspective respondent, 42.86% of a positive perspective respondent, and 6.20% of negative perspective respondent. Judging by its dimensions, 50% of students have neutral perceptions of the quality of learning (good teaching scale); 83.3% positive perceptions in general skills (good skills scale); 100% neutral perception in student satisfaction (overal satisfaction); 80% neutral perceptions of clarity of objectives and learning standards (clear goals and standars); 75% neutral perception of the workload (appropriate workload scale); and 33.3% positive perceptions of the learning assessment (appropriate assessment scale). The result shows that students do not explicitly assess the implementation of PBL as good or bad, due to they experienced positive and negative thing from the implementation of PBL.Keywords: Evaluation, method, problem based learning, student.

Abstract Background The quality of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) personnel is one of the key factors that contributes to the success of CBR programs. Integrating knowledge and practical skills in various stages of the learning process is essential in community-based rehabilitation. Problem-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical strategy that uses real-world situations as the basis for developing knowledge and problem-solving skills. Through PBL, learners are guided and facilitated in assuming active problem-solving roles in real-world situations. This study developed and tested a framework and a PBL protocol for use in teaching community-based rehabilitation (CBR) in higher education. Methods Part I of this study focused on the development of a framework and a protocol for PBL. An initial framework for the development of this protocol was formed based on a review of relevant literature. Concrete guidelines were delineated to describe the application, process, and delivery of teaching and learning. PBL was implemented in three CBR related courses. Students were facilitated to learn CBR in passing various stages of PBL through a self-directed learning process. The cumulative efforts of each group were compiled, recorded, and displayed using e-portfolios. In Part II, the processes and outcomes of using this new learning mode were evaluated using a case study approach to examine the protocol’s efficacy. Focus group interviews, a questionnaire, and a detailed examination of the e-portfolios were administered for evaluation. Results One hundred thirty-three students from three CBR related courses were recruited. PBL was regarded as an effective, realistic and practical method that enables critical thinking in CBR. Practicality was addressed by covering context-related materials with the use of real cases or examples. Participants were actively engaged in the learning process and their CBR competence was enhanced. Conclusions Through the new protocol, the students were equipped with active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that should facilitate success in CBR.

Remote Learning

COVID-19 pandemic spreading all around the world, the higher learning institutions were forced to shut or limit the person in contact to control the spread of diseases. Under this circumstance, remote learning that emphasized learning via online setting embraced in higher education to replace the physical classroom during the pandemic time. This study designed a single Problem-Based Learning (PBL) module using remote learning to examine the students experience in PBL, and to what extent the PBL module helps students to improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The remote learning PBL module conducted using reflection method to assess the students' experiences in PBL learning. On the other hand, a set of survey questionnaires was distributed to 34 undergraduate students to gather the responses for the assessment of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This study employed both quantitative and qualitative analysis to investigate the students’ critical thinking, problem-solving skills and their experience in remote learning PBL. Using paired sample t-test to test the difference between pre- and post- remote learning PBL class, results indicated that there was a significant improvement of students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills after remote learning PBL class. On the other hand, thematic analysis on students’ feedback on remote learning PBL class- first, second, and third meeting, indicated that students gradually improved their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Although students implied positive feedback on the class, however, some of them were facing difficulties in understanding the module or physical disruptions that distract their learning. The findings gave insights for the lecturers to design a suitable learning course during the pandemic time. Moreover, the findings highlighted challenges that gave insights for the lecturers to look at the students’ feedback from time to time to improve the learning mechanisms and to create a better learning environment.
