This study was a quasi-experiment the non-equivalent comparison group design. The population was 54 students. The data analysis used t-test and Univariate Analysis of Variance at the significant level of 5%. The results are as follows: (1) PBL Improved positively and significantly on the critical thinking skills; (2) PjBL improved positively and significantly on the critical thinking skills; and (3) there is a significant difference on the critical thinking skills between the group taught using PBL and that taught using PjBL.
