Abstract

Conventional learning methods (Teacher Learning Center /TCL) are unable students to exercise analytical skills, practice problem solving, and evaluate problems, especially in Auditing courses that require high analysis and critical thinking. Due to the many shortcomings of the TCL, the government recommends using the Student Center Learning (SCL) approach for the learning process in University. Finally, the Case-Based Method (CBM), an SCL, is designed to increase students’ critical thinking ability in solving a case. Students are expected to exercise critical thinking to solve problems holistically in the Auditing course.

This study uses an action research approach for Classroom Action Research (CAR) in applying the Case-Based Method in improving students’ critical thinking skills. The data used are primary data obtained from observations, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires to explore all the facts in the field. Respondents in this study are fifth-semester students majoring in accounting and two auditing lecturers. The analysis used is qualitative data analysis. This CAR shows that CBM can improve students’ critical thinking ability. These results can be used as input for institutions in making academic policies. For lecturers, it can be a reference for improving the learning process in class and materials for making lesson plans. For students, it can increase the ability of analysis and critical thinking. It will help them to face situations and conditions after graduation.
