Abstract

The background of this study is the demand of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 for Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), particularly critical thinking and logical argumentation among university students. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is recognized as effective in developing these skills; however, valid and comprehensive assessment instruments, especially in essay form, remain limited. This study aims to develop and examine the quality of an essay test instrument to measure students' critical thinking and logical argumentation skills within PBL in the Logic and Critical Thinking Methods course. The method employed was Research and Development (R&D), adapting a simplified Borg and Gall model, which included needs analysis, test blueprint design, item development, expert validation, empirical try-outs, and item quality analysis. The research subjects were 55 students in Surabaya. Expert validation using Aiken's V showed an average coefficient of 0.81, categorized as very high. Construct validity testing using item-total correlation confirmed that all items were valid, and reliability testing using Cronbach's Alpha yielded a coefficient of 0.768, indicating high reliability. Item quality analysis revealed that most items possessed moderate difficulty and high discrimination power. In conclusion, the developed instrument is valid, reliable, and suitable for use as a measurement tool for assessing students' critical thinking and logical argumentation abilities in a PBL context.

Abstract

Project-based learning (PBL) has gained traction in Indonesian higher education for its potential to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. However, its implementation remains limited in non-practical courses, where adaptation poses specific challenges. This study examines students’ perceptions of PBL implementation in a non-practical instructional system design course, focusing on four key elements: the collaborative process, student voice, technological aspects, and public presentation. The study involved 98 third-year students and two facilitators. Data were collected through a self-developed questionnaire and follow-up focus group discussions. Quantitative findings indicated generally positive perceptions, particularly regarding technological readiness and instructor support. Qualitative insights revealed ongoing challenges in group collaboration, role clarity, and the effectiveness of peer feedback, especially in blended learning settings. Students valued the structure and support provided by the instructor and expressed motivation when given creative space within defined parameters. The study emphasizes the importance of consistent scaffolding, structured interactions, and a supportive learning environment to facilitate the successful implementation of PBL in non-practical settings. Recommendations are offered to inform future course design and improve student engagement in similar contexts.
