Wayan Pudma Febby Mandalika; Woro Srihastuti; Irvan Syahrizal; Marwan – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2024
The learning model used by educators only transmits knowledge and does not provide opportunities for students to interact, causing them to lose time to develop their experience in the collaborative learning process. This research aims to improve collaboration skills by implementing a problem-based learning model in grade IV elementary school. The…

Martaningsih, Sri T.; Maryani, Ika; Prasetya, Dadang S.; Prwanti, Siwi; Sayekti, Ika C.; Aziz, Nabilla A. A.; Siwayanan, Parthiban – Pegem Journal of Education and Instruction, 2022
Problem-solving skills are required to solve difficulties encountered in daily life. These skills are important but rarely mastered by fourth grade elementary school students. One explanation for this is that the learning tools have not been specifically designed to help pupils develop their problem-solving skills. The purpose of this research and…

Palupi, Bening Sri; Subiyantoro, Slamet; Rukayah; Triyanto – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of Guided Inquiry Learning (GIL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. A number of prior studies have implemented the GIL model for a limited area such as science. Similar to the PBL learning design, the previous studies that highlighted the application of GIL model was commonly targeted to find out…

Pan, Zilong; Liu, Min – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2022
This mixed-method study introduced an adaptive scaffolding system to support middle school science problem-based learning (PBL) activities. 298 6th-graders were grouped into three conditions, which are the adaptive scaffolding group, the non-adaptive scaffolding group, and a control group that did not receive any scaffoldings. Results showed that…
