The objectives of this research were 1) to examine the factors to enhance problem solving ability for undergraduate students in Guangxi Province 2) to develop Problem-based learning instructional model to enhance problem solving ability for ndergraduate students in Guangxi Minzu University and 3) to study the results of implementing problem-based learning instructional model to enhance problem solving ability for undergraduate students in Guangxi Minzu University. The population in Phase
1 were 200 former students of Legal Logic Course first semester of 2022 from 3 universities in Guangxi Province. There were 3 experts in phase 2 to confirm problembased learning instructional model in Guangxi Minzu University, and there were 50 students who enrolled in Legal Logic Course from Class A were obtained by cluster
random sampling in Guangxi Minzu University in Phase 3. The research instruments were 1) a set of questionnaires for students and interview for lecturers 2) a set of
questionnaires for confirming instructional model 3) Lesson plan and 4) Scoring rubric. Data were statistically analyzed by percentage, mean, standard deviation, data
analytics statistics for confirmation of instructional model and data analytics for scoring rubric.
The results were found that:
1. The impact of external and internal factors on students' problem-solving ability comes from both students and lectures. Internal factors were physical, physical,
psychological, motivation, knowledge, attitude and external factors were social environment, materials, teaching methods, class size, and evaluation.
2. Problem-based learning instructional model to enhance problem solving ability for undergraduate students was 100% confirmed to utility standards, feasibility
standards, propriety standards and accuracy standards as assessed by 3 specialists. It includes 5 components: 1) Principle and Rationale, 2) Objectives, 3) Contents, 4)
Method of teaching & materials and 5) Evaluation.
3. The results of implementing problem problem-based learning instructional model enhance problem solving ability for undergraduate students. It was found that
96% of 50 students whose problem solving ability is at good level while another 4% of them are assessed to be at medium level. The result is consistent with the research
hypothesis that 80% upwards of the participants will have problem solving ability at good level after learning through problem-based learning instructional model.
