“…The most common advantage of this model among all participants was that PBL helped them to improve their critical thinking skills. This was because the researcher had presented real challenging problems, and previous literature was also consistent with the idea that in order to improve students' higher thinking skills, the problem should be challenging and related to students experiences (Brabler, 2016;Dağyar & Demirel, 2015;Major & Mulvihill, 2018;Vandenhouten et al, 2017). Most of the students (20 out 0f 31) stated that going through the searching and discussion process to find suitable solutions to real problems helped them in developing their higher and lower order thinking.…”

“…This would help them to formulate suitable concepts and identify suitable resources to go in-depth analysis of the problems. Further, the topic should be challenging and it should lead students to higher thinking skills (analyze, construct, evaluate) (Brabler, 2016;Dağyar & Demirel, 2015;Major & Mulvihill, 2018;Vandenhouten, Groessl, & Levintova, 2017). This study therefore presents real problems related to this research topic.…”

In this study, the effect of problem-based learning on students' problem-solving selfefficacy through the Blackboard system was investigated. The students' perception of the implementation of problem-based learning into higher education and discussion through blackboard was also investigated. The participants of the study were 31 students in higher education, studying in the Curriculum and Instruction Department at Umm Al-Qura University. It is a quasi-experimental study, designed with a single group, pre-test, and post-test design. An open-ended questionnaire was used to investigate in-depth the students' perception. Both quantitative and qualitative data were obtained. The finding of the study reveals that there is a significant relationship between the pre-and-post-tests of the problem-based self-efficacy measurement scale. Further, the participants perceived advantages of using problem-based learning into their knowledge as well as into their learning and social skills. They reported that the Blackboard system had many benefits to complete the problem-solving activities. However, many students reported challenges in the implementation of problem-based learning as well as there were difficulties in using the blackboard system to achieve the raised problems. Contribution/Originality: This study is one of very few studies which have investigated both Problem-based Learning and Problem-solving self-efficacy in higher education. The study uses a new formula of implementing problem-solving strategy into the Blackboard system to find out its effect of students' problem-solving self-efficacy. 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on students' problemsolving self-efficacy and to find out their perceptions of the advantages and challenges of implementing PBL into learning through the Blackboard (BB) system. Problem-solving is a cognitive process in which knowledge and different skills such as searching, analyzing, discussing, and evaluating work together to identify the problem and resolve the issue (Udeani & Adeyemo, 2011; Wang & Chiew, 2010). Since the higher education system has higher academic standard, it requires students to use different strategies to achieve their learning efficiently. In PBL, higher education students are given responsibility for their learning, so it encourages independence in learning. Thus, the implementation of PBL in higher education would help in improving students' learning and reaching to the higher standards. Instructors in the University are trying to find methods or models to help students improve their learning efficiency. Learners in higher education need to apply theoretical learning in practice.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to investigate the process from which students understand the concepts of research statistics and learning independence on the subject of research statistics. And their relationship between understanding the concept with independence and PBL learning models Methodology: This research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education (Primary Teacher Education/PGMI) State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Bengkulu in which the samples used were students of 6 semester and students of 8 semesters. The research method was qualitative and quantitative with correlational research design, with total samples 295 with total sampling. The research instruments were by using independence questionnaires and multiple-choice questions. The data were analyzed by using simple regression analysis. Main Findings: Problem Based Learning (PBL) has a significant relationship with the understanding concept research statistical subject and learning independence. Implication/Applications of this study: Understanding the statistical concepts of research. Because the statistical theory is useful in completing a student's final project (essay.it would be helpful for students to use this model to study of research statistics. Novelty/Originality of this study: No study has been done so for on this sample.

“…PBL is a teaching and learning strategy that is used to engage students in problem solving. PBL is defined as student-focused pedagogy [5] [6] [7] where students develop intellectual independence when working through problems with little direction from the teacher [8]. PBL environment designed to help students build a knowledge base that is broad and flexible, be an effective collaborator, develop independent learning skills, develop effective problem solving skills, and become intrinsically motivated to learn [9].…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of problem solving skills of students in the 7-Step PBL material work and energy materials. The method used in this research is descriptive method. The number of samples used in this study were 62 students. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis technique. There are three main findings in this study, the first amounted to 69.35% the average level of problem solving abilities of students is still at level 2 (moderate). Second, even after participating in learning using the 7-Step PBL method, the average problem solving ability of students has not yet reached level 4(high). Third, in indicator problem number 2 "relationship work and kinetic energy" there are no students who have problem-solving skills at level 4(high).
