Abstract

Critical thinking and creativity are the essential qualities must-have to face industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0, particularly for students. Higher education institutions play a vital role in developing critical thinkers. This study aimed to assess the impact of the authors’ teaching technique of Legal Case-based Reading (LCbR) on students’ critical thinking abilities. This study used a quantitative approach by collecting data through observations, doing a pre-test, treatment post-test, and following a questionnaire to see how the students felt about the program. The data was then analyzed by using SPSS 26 program. The participants in this study are first-semester students at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Hukum Pengayoman Watampone, Indonesia, in the 2020/2021 academic year. Subjects were chosen using a purposive sampling strategy, with 43 samples. The research lasts for approximately two months, from September–November 2020. This research showed that 1) Applying Legal case-based Reading has a considerable effect and changes students’ critical thinking skills; 2) Students’ critical thinking level increased from low order thinking skills to high order thinking skills. And 3) Students thought the response options were good, with an average value in “the high” category.
