| Abstract: | Computer-Based Problem Solving is a combination of problem-based learning and computer-assisted learning. The method facilitates students to use computer programs as cognitive tools to solve problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Computer Based Problem Solving on High Level Thinking Skills (HOTS) of prospective teachers. The study was conducted in the 5th semester of the 2018/2019 academic year. This is a quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test control group design consist. In the process of learning, the experimental group used computer-based problem solving as treatment whereas the control gorup used traditional methods. HOTS data was collected by conducting essay tests and the data was analyzed by using t-test and ANOVA. The findings of this study revealed that using computer-based problem solving approach improved HOTS of the prospective teachers as well as enhance their collaboration and motivation. It was found out that there was a moderate improvement on HOTS aspects in communication. The study also showed very slight improvement on the prospective teacher's problem solving abilities.
