| Sumario: | This research explores the differences in test results and the use of some generic skills in the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model and the Lecture-Based Learning (LBL) model. This research was conducted with a mixed research method, namely quantitative method and qualitative method. The researcher implemented the two models in two different classes, the control class (N = 28) and the experimental class (N = 72). Both learning method successfully activate the use of self-directed learning skills, teamwork skills, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skills. However, PBL is better in motivating and increasing awareness about lectures so there is a better use of these skills in lectures. Students are very challenged to solve clinical problems relevant to the nursing profession with their group of friends. This in turn has an impact on the higher test results obtained by the experimental class than the control class. Therefore, researchers suggest applying it widely in all nursing majors.
