This comparative study investigated the effect of supplementing problem-based learning (PBL) with video resources on students' academic achievement in physics, a unit of simple machines. It was carried out in the Ugandan Government and private lower secondary schools. The quasi-experimental design employed a cluster sampling design with 947…

The ability to think critically in the 21st century is a skill that must be possessed by every individual. This study, uses a UbD-based problem-based learning model with a conventional learning model to see which learning model has more influence on the critical thinking ability of grade IV students in science subjects. The UbD approach was chosen…

Academic performance of students is global issue of great concern to educators. This study sought to ascertain the effect of STEM problem-based learning as an inquiry approach on secondary school student's performance in Biology at government-owned secondary schools in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The non-equivalent control group design was adopted. Two…

This study was set out to establish if adopting problem-based learning (PBL) techniques would effectively address the teaching and learning challenges at the University of Kisubi (Unik). Using Faculty of Education as a study sample, the quasi-experimental pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design was utilized where a class of 39 students was…

Education has begun to look beyond the traditional methods of didactic teaching, lectures, and clinical based instruction within their program curricula to address the gap between theoretical and real-life situations (Walker, Langton & Thomson, 2011). Problem Based Learning (PBL) has been seen as an alternative method of instruction that is…

The study reported in this paper was part of a larger study that explored pre-service teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of a problem-based learning (PBL) teaching approach for developing their mathematics pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and their ability to enact their PCK in a tertiary mathematics education subject. This paper…

This research is a quasi-experimental study with the following objectives: 1) To examine the effectiveness of cooperative learning activities using the TAI technique combined with activity-based learning on the topic of congruence for students at Roi Et Rajabhat University, aiming to achieve the 75/75 efficiency criterion. 2) To compare…

The perspectives on Project Based Learning (PBL), traditional learning and engineering competencies are influenced by national and organizational culture. Based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory and grounded in constructivist learning theory, the purpose of this study is to identify the perspectives of Arab and Chinese managers on the…

This study conducted a meta-analysis of 57 primary experimental studies which involved 6237 students and investigated the effect of constructivist learning approach and active learning on students' environmental education. The study also analyzed a set of moderator variables, which are considered to influence the results of the primary studies in…

The aim of this study was to design a learning environment supported by a problem-based learning method and to obtain students' views on this process. In this context, the Database Management Systems course was taught according to the problem-based learning method. The participants of the study consisted of 25 students from the 2nd-grade students…

This study aims to determine whether there was differences effect in improving student's critical thinking skills (1) between students who get Problem-based Learning, Mathematical Problem Posing, and conventional learning, and (2) based on gender differences. This study used a quantitative method with the pre-test-posttest two treatment design.…

Tremendous changes have taken place in medical curricula in the last two decades; these changes have arguably created some imbalances in the quality of medical graduates around the globe, which may be partly due to the number of resources often demanded by the design of the newer curricula. Therefore, resource-poor countries are often unable to…

This paper tells about the mental model of prospective scholars on the topic of temperature and heat. The purpose of this research is to improve students' mental model by using problem based learning (PBL) model. The number of samples in the study amounted to 72 students with two different classes. The results of the study showed that, (1) the…

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of problem-based learning (PBL) on skill development and learning effectiveness in physical education. One university physical education class was taught using the PBL method, and a second class received traditional instruction. Before and after the teaching experiment, the students were…

A mental model (MM) is an internal representation of students' conceptual understanding. Currently, students have still had difficulties in explaining the physical state of elasticity of solid materials, at submicroscopic level. These difficulties call for this research. Through a mixed method, the study aimed to reveal the development and…
