This proposal article has two aims which is developing a module using adventure-based learning (ABL) method and test the effect of the ABL modules on three variables. The variables to be tested are the Basic Statistics, critical thinking and leadership skills of students. This research involves development design and quasi experimental pre-posttest nonequivalent design. So this research involved two phases: development and testing phase. In the development phase, three important steps that should be followed is the process of building modules, validity and reliability of the module and do pilot study of modules. Modules that have validity and reliability were tested at the Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Ipoh which selected by purposive sampling. While the sample is selected among the student population of the campus is the second semester Preparation Bachelor of Teaching programed. The samples were randomly selected using cluster sampling and divided into a control group (conventional method) and the treatment group (ABL method). The results of this study are expected to open educators minds to doing innovative teaching methods. It thus is able to guide the implementation of the 21st century teaching methods. The impact of this research is also expected to assist the Ministry of Education to achieve the vision and aspirations of the country.
