Musalamani, Wael; Yasin, Ruhizan Mohammad; Osman, Kamisah – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2021
This study examined the effect of the SB-CPBL on Jordanian 8th-grade students' attitude towards science. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed in this study. 120 8th-graders, divided into two groups, were involved in this study. Two groups (60 students, 30 males, and 30 females) were designated…

Most of the previous problem-based learning (PBL) studies have been conducted with gifted or regular education students and have shown successes. However, little research on PBL exists for disadvantaged middle school students, especially students who are considered to be at risk of failing academically. In this study, we examined the use of a…

Fitriani, Apriza; Zubaidah, Siti; Susilo, Herawati; Al Muhdhar, Mimien Henie Irawati – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Predict, Observe, Explain (POE), and the combination of both (PBLPOE) on students' critical thinking skills and scientific attitudes in Biology. A pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design was employed in this study and 132 tenth-grade students…
