This study explores the potential of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in primary school education and investigates its impact on geography skills, learning achievement, and satisfaction. The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of PBL as a student-centered approach in enhancing learning outcomes. The participants consisted of 43 grade 5…

Current educational systems are making shifts from teacher-centered to learner-centered environments. This shift creates space for more involvement from students in their own instructional and assessment processes that sets them up for success in a method that allows them control of their achievement. Teachers have to assess and reflect on their…

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…

Low literacy levels are believed to be one of the causes of environmental damage problems. It is felt that the current implementation of the problem-based learning model is still not optimal in increasing students' environmental literacy, especially regarding sustainable issues. This research aims to (1) produce a sustainable issue-based learning…

The author of this article examines data collected from focus-group discussions about the impact of a social justice education module on human trafficking and low-skilled labor migration in South and Southeast Asia. Employing cognitive developmental theory as an analytical framework, this article shows how the structural complexity of the issue…

This article, co-authored with a group of undergraduate secondary music student teachers, shares their experiences as they learned about additional support needs and inclusive practice through a series of 10 problem-based learning (PBL) sessions. Drawing from their reflections on the weekly sessions, the paper explores the students' learning…

This meta-analysis examines the influence of smart classrooms on students' learning outcome, synthesizing findings from 21 empirical studies. The results indicate a significant overall effect size (SMD = 1.10), suggesting that smart classrooms positively affect learning outcomes more than traditional settings. Cognitive development (SMD = 1.014)…

Bridging theoretical learning with practical applications is crucial in biology education, where the relevance of concepts directly influences learners' adaptability across educational contexts. This study assessed how Design-Based Biology Instruction (DBBI) impacts students' cognitive flexibility. Employing a three-group pretest-posttest…

Metabolism and its regulation is one of the most complex and difficult topics for students learning biochemistry. A problem-/case-based learning (PBL) approach can be useful to help biochemistry students to fulfill the goal of acquiring an integrated view of metabolism and its regulation. The present article describes our experience enrolling…

This study aims to explore the literature on learning interventions that can enhance students' multiple representation skills and identify indicators for assessing multiple representation abilities in physics education. Following the PRISMA procedure, the research is a systematic literature review using qualitative content analysis techniques. The…

This research aims to increase our understanding about the effects of active learning, applying problem-based learning (PBL) methodologies to increase student motivation in various graphic engineering classes. The measurement instruments included a cross-sectional survey (n = 269) carried out during the years 2015 to 2019 through triangulation of…

In every university's endeavor to promote internationalization, pedagogy is vital and there is a need to research internationalization at different pedagogical levels within different learning approaches (Katsara & De Witte, 2020). This paper discusses the value of implementing culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) within the teaching context…

This paper presents a reflective analysis of a novel approach to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to teach abstract concepts in a large-class setting, specifically tailored for a third-year required undergraduate course, "Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering." The primary objective is to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes…

Problem based learning model has been widely implemented in various fields and educational contexts since it challenges students to learn through engagement in a real problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, learning method, and learning motivation on entrepreneurial attitudes.…

Education in the 21st century has experienced many advances that are adjusted to the demands of the times. Thinking skills are in high demand in the 21st century, especially critical thinking and creative thinking skills for students. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of POPBL model learning in improving critical and creative thinking…
