Abstract: This action research explored the effectiveness of the Group Problem-Solving Project (GPP) as an instructional strategy in cultivating higher order thinking skills (HOTS) among Grade 7 students in MAPEH at Jaclupan National High School. The study was conducted in response to the observed challenges students faced in demonstrating analysis, evaluation, and creativity in MAPEH learning tasks. Through collaborative and problem-based learning activities, the GPP enabled students to address real-life scenarios in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health by working together to analyze problems, propose solutions, and produce creative outputs. A pretest-posttest design was used to measure students’ proficiency levels before and after the intervention. Pretest results showed a mean percentage score of 54.44%, indicating that most students were at the “Nearly Proficient†level. After the GPP strategy was applied, posttest results revealed a significant improvement, with a mean percentage score of 79.56%, and more students reaching “Proficient†and “Highly Proficient†levels.
