The purpose of this research was to compare scientific problem-solving thinking skills before and after teaching about tropical organisms in the environment through learning management by using problem-based learning of 10 grade students. The students’ satisfaction was also studied by using problem-based learning to assess their learning management. The sample consisted of grade 10 students in a Mathematics-Science Program of the demonstration school of Ramkhamhaeng University in the 2nd semester of the 2020 academic year. A total of 57 students was selected by using a purposive sampling technique. The research applied three instruments: 1) A learning management plan by using problem-based learning about tropical organisms in the environment; 2) A scientific problem-solving thinking skills test assessment scale with a reliability coefficient of 0.75; and 3) The Satisfaction in Problem-based Learning Management test assessment scale with a reliability coefficient of 0.95. Statistics employed for data analysis were the mean, standard deviation and t-test. The two main results revealed that: 1) By using problem-based learning in learning management the students improved in all of 4 the scientific problem-solving thinking skills, which consisted of: 1) Problem setting. 2) Problem analysis, 3) Problem-solving presentation, and 4) Result checking; and 2) The students’ satisfaction in problem-based learning management was found to be at a high level.
