Abstrak.

Mahasiswa sering disebut sebagai kaum intelektual karena keistimewaannya dalam mengenyam pendidikan tinggi. Sebagai kaum intelektual, tentunya mahasiswa dituntut untuk memiliki kualitas intelektual yang memadai. Salah satu bentuk perilaku yang menunjukkan kualitas intelektual adalah kemampuan dalam memecahkan masalah (problem solving). Namun demikian, tampaknya kemampuan mahasiswa dalam problem solving masih belum memadai sehingga akan menyulitkan mahasiswa dalam mengoptimalkan potensi yang dimilikinya, baik pada saat proses pendidikan maupun pada saat aplikasi ilmu di dalam dunia kerja. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sebuah upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan problem solving pada mahasiswa. Upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mahasiswa memecahkan masalah ini dilakukan dengan meningkatkan kemampuan mahasiswa yang terkait dengan kemampuan kognitifnya, maupun meningkatkan kualitas pengajaran dengan memperbaiki metode maupun karakteristik pengajarnya

Kata kunci: masalah, menyelesaikan masalah, mahasiswa
