| Summary: | Abstract, changes in the perspective of students as objects to students as subjects in the learning process become a point of departure in the discovery of various innovative learning approaches. However, it is often overlooked that the essence of learning is students’ learning and not teachers’ teaching. Teachers are required to choose a learning approach that can drive the spirit of every student to be actively involved in their learning experience. One learning alternative that enables the development of students’ thinking skills (reasoning, communication, and connection) in problem solving is Problem Based Learning (PBL). Problem Based Learning is an innovation in learning because it allows the optimization of students’ thinking skills through systematic process of group work, so that students can empower, hone, test, and develop their learning capacity on an ongoing basis. Therefore, it is essential that there is an in-depth study on what and how Problem Based Learning is applied in the learning process, so that the learning is oriented towards students’ activities, value- laden, and more meaningful.

Abstrak, Perubahan cara pandang terhadap siswa sebagai objek menjadi subjek dalam proses pembelajaran menjadi titik tolak banyak ditemukannya berbagai pendekatan pembelajaran yang inovatif. Salah satu kecenderungan yang sering dilupakan adalah melupakan bahwa hakikat pembelajaran adalah belajarnya siswa dan bukan mengajarnya guru. Guru dituntut dapat memilih pendekatan pembelajaran yang dapat memacu semangat setiap siswa untuk secara aktif ikut terlibat dalam pengalaman belajarnya. Salah satu alternatif pembelajaran yang memungkinkan dikembangkannya keterampilan berfikir siswa (penalaran, komunikasi, dan koneksi) dalam memecahkan masalah adalah Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah. Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah merupakan inovasi dalam pembelajaran karena dalam proses pembelajaran kemampuan berpikir siswa betul-betul dioptimalisasikan melalui proses kerja kelompok atau tim yang sistematis, sehingga siswa dapat memberdayakan, mengasah, menguji, dan mengembangkan kemampuan berpikirnya secara berkesinambungan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka perlu kiranya ada sebuah bahan kajian yang mendalam tentang apa dan bagaimana pembelajaran berbasis masalah diterapkan dalam proses pembelajaran, sehingga pembelajaran berorientasi pada aktivitas siswa, sarat nilai dan lebih bermakna.
