Problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability to in-person and virtual environments are critical for success today. Therefore, brick-and-mortar and online instructional models have shifted to ensure that K-12 students are prepared with these skills for 21st-century challenges. Grounded in systems theory, the study examined the inputs,…

This study aims to test the effectiveness of using environment-oriented e-books based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to empower problem-solving skills. The research design used is a Nonrandomized Control Group, Pretest-Posttest Design. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a 2 x 2 factorial design. The research sample was 70, grade X…

As problem posing has been shown to foster students' problem-solving abilities, problem posing might serve as an innovative teaching approach for improving students' modelling performance. However, there is little research on problem posing regarding real-world situations. The present paper addresses this research gap by using a modelling…

Problem framing is an essential yet under-explored aspect of problem-based historical inquiry. This study investigated how tenth-grade students in one AP US History class framed an ill-structured historical causal reasoning problem. Data included students' written brainstorms, students' responses to open-ended interview questions, and…

This article delves into moments of affect, puncturing the exchanges between an early career 2SLGBTQ+ researcher and a group of Canadian adolescents, mostly composed of girls, who developed a ClayMation video to take the pulse of emerging vibrancies in maker literacies. Among these dynamisms came the matter of gender in the research project.…

Environmental pollution is a critical issue that requires students to develop strong reasoning and problem-solving skills to understand and address its complexities. However, traditional learning models are not optimal in fostering high-level thinking skills. This study aimed to determine the effect of the PBL-STEM model on deductive, inductive,…

This study is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of problem-based learning combined with simulation on students' problem-solving and creative thinking skills. By employing a quasi-experimental design, this study used essay and problem-based tests as the instruments to evaluate problem-solving and creative thinking skills of 192 students. These…

Background/purpose. Innovative thinking and meta-skills are needed to solve difficult problems in the 21st century, but standard training techniques often fail. The fact that only 6% of pupils are innovative thinkers highlights a major educational gap. The GENICS learning approach (Grouping, Exploring, Discussion, Individual Activity, Combining,…

Schools provide conducive environments for disseminating messages on health by implementing appropriate learning approaches and subjects such as biology in the curriculum. For instance, problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centred approach commonly applied in the field of education. However, its implementation to improve the health literacy…

A more motivating way of introducing students to probability theory is through real-world problems. Since heuristics play an important role in our probabilistic judgement, knowing how to avoid incorrect probabilistic reasoning, which leads to several biases, could help students to develop more critical thinking skills. In this paper, we present a…

Background/purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using E-Module-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL-EM) in improving the mathematical communication skills of Senior High School students based on their cognitive style on mathematical logic material. Materials/methods: This study used a mixed design with an embedded design approach…

This research has been conducted to analyze students' problem-solving abilities in direct current electricity in STEM-based learning. The implementation of STEM in this research is to train the domain of scientific practices and engineering practices that are associated with model problems and project-based learning. The research method used was…

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of problem-based learning (PBL), predict observe explain (POE), and PBLPOE on students' problem-solving skills and self-efficacy in Biology. This research is based on various facts that problem-solving skills and self-efficacy of Indonesian students in biology subjects are still low.…

The industrial revolution era 4.0 has now become a major topic in every country. Various sectors respond quickly to this problem, including education. In response to this, there are several aspects of skills that students must master. One of them is problem-solving skills. One of the aspects that influence the students' problem-solving skills is…

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of teaching the subject of "Functions", utilizing scenarios associated with everyday life, to high school students in terms of their academic achievements. The study was carried out with twenty 10th grade students at a high school in a district of Bartin, Turkey in the 2018-2019 school…
