The Effect of Problem Based Learning Model on Creative and Critical Thinking Skills in Static Fluid Topics

Abstract

Creative and critical thinking skills are one of the demands of new skills needed by students in the current era. One of the learning models that can sharpen creative and critical thinking skills is Problem based learning (PBL). Heretofore, research related to creative and critical thinking skills with PBL in understanding static fluid material is still minimal. Therefore, this research explored it. This study aimed to analyze the effect of PBL on students' creative and critical thinking skills. This type of research is experimental with a total of 58 students, both experimental class and control class in 10th-grade science class Christian Senior High School YPKPM Ambon. The research procedure in the form of creative and critical thinking skills tests carried out during the research process and data analysis used was the independent sample t-test. The results showed that the average value of the experimental class students' learning achievement related to students' creative and critical thinking skills was higher than the conventional class. This implies that PBL facilitates in improving students' creative and critical thinking skills on static fluid.

Learning Physics Using Search, Solve, Create, Share and Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review Models Analyzed from Critical Thinking and Problem-solving Skills on Student Learning Outcomes

“…This learning activity can help students to improve their critical thinking skill for problem solving materials. In general, creative thinking is correlated with critical thinking and problem solving skills (Wenno & Batlolona, 2021).…”

“…In addition, the learning carried out based on the the student worksheet followed the SSCS dan PQ4R syntax. Students are more focused on determining the problems sought throught experiments and understanding physics concepts throught actual experiments (Wenno & Batlolona, 2021). 7) Interaction between learning models, critical thinking, and problem solving skills on learning outcomes…”

Influence of E-Scaffolding in Problem-Based Learning on Students’ HOTS in Standing Wave

“…Students engage in a learning process that demands critical thinking, collaboration with team members, information gathering, and exploration of different possibilities to solve problems. Several studies that have been conducted show that PBL can improve students' conceptual understanding [9], critical thinking skills [16], creative thinking skills [17], and science process skills [18]. PBL significantly impacts students' learning outcomes compared to conventional learning models [19].…”

“…Over the last half century, teachers have shown that PBL can be used effectively to improve cognitive and emotional skills in learning (Dolmans et al, 2016;Suparman et al, 2021;Wenno et al, 2021). Some researchers suggest that technology-based PBL has a greater impact on cognitive and emotional abilities than traditional or face-to-face PBLs (Ismail et al, 2018;Phungsuk et al, 2017).…”
