Loyens, Sofie M. M.; van Meerten, Julianne E.; Schaap, Lydia; Wijnia, Lisette – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Critical thinking (CT) is widely regarded as an important competence to obtain in education. Students' exposure to problems and collaboration have been proven helpful in promoting CT processes. These elements are present in student-centered instructional environments such as problem-based and project-based learning (P(j)BL). Next to CT, also…

Andrew Walker; Heather Leary – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2023
Almost fifty years ago, Barrows (1986) claimed that problem-based learning (PBL) was broad enough that a single methodological description was not possible. It has only grown more complex since. In addition to meaningful variations of PBL, there are several related problem-centered pedagogies, such as case-based learning, project-based learning,…

Joseph F. Bron; Maricar S. Prudente – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2024
Problem-based learning (PBL) is linked to developing learners' creative thinking in mathematics. This process-oriented approach capitalizes on using problems to stimulate learning through independent and collaborative investigations. This meta-analysis looked at the effectiveness of using PBL to influence mathematical creativity. Fifteen results…

Lisette Wijnia; Gera Noordzij; Lidia R. Arends; Remigius M. J. P. Rikers; Sofie M. M. Loyens – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
In this meta-analysis, we examined the effects on students' motivation of student-centered, problem-driven learning methods compared to teacher-centered/lecture-based learning. Specifically, we considered problem-based (PBL), project-based (PjBL), and case-based learning (CBL). We viewed motivation as a multifaceted construct consisting of…

Abdul Ghani, Azril Shahreez; Abdul Rahim, Ahmad Fuad; Yusoff, Muhamad Saiful Bahri; Hadie, Siti Nurma Hanim – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2022
The application of gamified elements to PBL to promote student engagement has not been systematically described. Hence, we conducted a review based on Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage scoping review framework, involving research question identification, relevant study identification, study selection, data charting, and result collating and…

Ali Orhan – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2025
Problem based learning (PBL) has great potential to enhance learning outcomes and this potential has been investigated and proved in different disciplines by many meta-analysis studies. However, there are not any meta-analysis studies aiming to investigate the effectiveness of problem based learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL)…

Leijon, Marie; Gudmundsson, Petri; Staaf, Patricia; Christersson, Cecilia – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2022
This review maps patterns in research on Challenge Based Learning (CBL) in higher education (HE) between 2009 and 2020. How is CBL defined in HE settings? How is CBL in HE grounded scientifically in the research? The results show a shift of CBL from being a concept coined by a multinational technology company targeting learning in schools, to…

Even though many experimental studies have considered nurturing creativity as an essential advantage in implementing STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, [Arts], and Mathematics) education, there is currently a lack of meta-analysis research on the effect of STE(A)M education on creativity to confirm that STE(A)M education can improve…
