Creativity in Biology: The Impact of Problem-Oriented Project Based Learning on High School Students
Ria Novita Ayu Komalasari; I. Ibrohim; Dwi Listyorini – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Creativity in biology education is a crucial aspect that enhances students' understanding of the subject. It consists of several indicators (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration), which can also be used as measuring tools for creativity. This study aimed to determine the influence of the Problem-Oriented Project-Based Learning…

Denis-Çeliker, Huriye; Dere, Seda – Journal of Science Learning, 2022
This study aims to investigate the effect of the problem-based learning method supported by experiments on the inquiry learning skills of secondary school students and their reflective thinking skills for problem-solving. This research uses a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. This study consists of 21 students in the…

Varadarajan, Sujatha; Ladage, Savita – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
The need for shifting the expository laboratory instruction style to inquiry-based approaches is widely acknowledged. Problem-based learning (PBL), one of the inquiry-based approaches, advocates students' self-directed learning. The literature indicates that scaffolding students' independent learning is necessary for a PBL environment. In our…

Funa, Aaron A.; Prudente, Maricar S. – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
Preparing students for the real challenges in life is one of the most important goals in education. Constructivism is an approach that uses real-life experiences to construct knowledge. Problem-Based Learning (PBL), for almost five decades now, has been the most innovative constructivist pedagogy used worldwide. However, with the rising…

Ding, Yue-Min; Shen, Wei-Da; Yang, Jing; He, Yan; Wang, Lin-Lin; Zhang, Xiong – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
A physiology laboratory course plays an important role in improving the scientific abilities of medical students. This study involved a teaching reform based on problem-based self-designed experiments in a physiology laboratory course. The study subjects were divided into two groups, i.e., students enrolled in 2019 were assigned to the traditional…

Maryuningsih, Yuyun; Hidayat, Topik; Riand, R.; Rustaman, Nuryani Y. – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2022
Genetics is a subject that is quite difficult according to students. Various strategies and methods are used to understand genetics in learning to have genetic literacy. One way of increasing genetic literacy in students is to apply genetic problems based on an online discussion in genetics lectures. The research was conducted to determine the…

Matawali, Azlinah; Bakri, Sitty Nur Syafa; Jumat, Nur Ramziahrazanah; Ismail, Iziana Hani; Arshad, Sazmal Effendi; Din, Wardatul Akmam – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2019
The emergent of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education in Malaysia has embarked challenges in higher education system. Conventional teaching methods often cause lower learning gain, fear and bad perceptions among students. The old initiative may also be the cause of students' demotivation, lower interest in learning a…

Klegeris, Andis; Gustafsson, Emelie; Hurren, Heather – Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, 2018
Generic problem-solving skills have been identified as one of the key competencies valued by professional programmes, university students and their future employers. A lack of widely available and simple testing tools prevents assessment of the development of student problem-solving skills. As part of a research study, a generic problem-solving…
