Abstract

National development in the educational sector is an effort to develop national interests and improve the quality of Indonesian people. Through education, the younger generation can develop self-potential, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills. The method developed in this study was carried out by applying the Case Study Method at the Pre-Professional Pregnancy course. In this way, students are expected to attain better learning outcomes. The study involved the seventh-semester students of the Midwifery Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University. Research activities were carried out by observing (observation) students’ critical thinking skills and enthusiasm after being asked to find examples of cases in printed and electronic media. These examples, representing phenomena that occur in society, are relevant to the learning materials. The students were asked to discuss these phenomena in groups and present between groups, allowing them to learn the subject matter through three cycles of activities. The data were obtained directly from the running course as primary data and collected through a data collection format containing assessment items on students’ abilities and results of observation during the learning process. The data were analyzed descriptively to get an overview of the research subject. The research was conducted in line with the academic calendar set by the academic office of Andalas University. The Case Study Method was put into practice at several meetings for further observations. Our observations of the method application led to the finding that there was an increase in student critical thinking and enthusiasm during the learning process at the Pre-Professional Pregnancy course.
