This research aimed to examine the effect of problem-based learning with character emphasis (PBL-CE), and naturalist intelligence on the students’ problem-solving skills and care. The treatment by level 3 x 2 design were given to three groups; PBL-CE (A1), PBL (A2), and regular learning (RL) (A3) on the students with high naturalist intelligence (B1) and the students with low naturalist intelligence (B2). The data on the students’ naturalist intelligence and problem-solving skills were collected through tests and the data on the students’ care were collected through self-assessment and observation sheets. The data were analysed using manova at 5% significance level. The results of the reserach showed that the PBL-CE affected the students’ problem-solving skills and care, naturalist intelligence did not affect the students’ problem-solving skills and care, and the interaction between the PBL-CE and naturalist intelligence did not affect the students’ problem-solving skills and care. Keywords: problem-based learning with character emphasis (PBL-CE), problem-based learning (PBL), regular learning (RL), naturalist intelligence, problem-solving skills
