The data collection method used is a questionnaire on social attitudes and an achievement test on critical thinking ability. The post-test data are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis covers the mean score, standard deviation and variance while the inferential statistical analysis utilizes the MANOVA test. The results of the analysis show that the multicultural problem-based learning model is effective in improving students’ social attitudes and critical thinking skills. Therefore, this learning model is recommended as an innovative learning model.
