Abstrak / Ringkasan

Ideally, students who are ready to study in university should have high self-motivation so that in the end they
will reach their learning goal. In order for students to effectively reach their learning goal, there are some
requirements to fulfill. Those are motivation (which is reflected in positive attitude in learning), learning
readiness, learning tradition, and learning skill. Various efforts can be done by lecturers to make the students
become characterized learners who are high motivated, independent, creative, and critical. Making characterized
students can be done through a social problem and its assessment-based learning. This is necessary to build
because student is Homo Sapiens whose intelligence will be formed inside the individual and in the social and
cultural contexts. Curiosity as an intelligence process and a problem solving is a mode of reflective-critical
thinking. One of the learning models that can be done is a learning using performance assessment. This
performance assessment is used to measure the students' status based on the work of an assignment of solving
problems in real life which tends toward an application stage of a principle or a concept in a new situation, based
on a demand related to knowledge which has to be owned by students.
