Abstract

The goal of this study to expand a version to develop a model to examine the effectiveness of using a problem based learning (PBL) approach as a method of facilitating students’ achievement, and incorporating the literature of PBL approach for educational purpose. Therefore, this research hypothesizes that use PBL approach effect on students’ learning motivation, students ’thinking, students’ learning difficulties on learning, students’ learning style, and students’ learning skills that in turn, affect students’ achievements. To achieve the research goal, the research employed a questionnaire as the main data collection method and dispensed it to 88 university students all of whom use PBL approach. The findings were obtained via a quantitative research method, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This research found a significant relationship between PBL approach with students’ learning motivation, students ’thinking, students’ learning difficulties on learning, students’ learning style, and students’ learning skills that in turn, affect students’ achievements. Hence, the research indicates that PBL approach enhances the students’ achievements, and allows to sharing knowledge, information and discussions, and therefore, we recommend students to utilize PBL approach for education purpose and should have encouraged them through lecturers at universities.

Highlights

  • Despite the role teacher plays in conventional classrooms, his/her function in problem based learning (PBL) method classes is to facilitate pupils

  • One of these sets comprises the factors of independent factors that include problem based learning; students’ learning motivation; students’ learning thinking; students’ learning style; students’ learning difficulties; and students’ learning skills, the second the dependent factor of model is students’ achievements. 88 questionnaires were entered and tabulated to Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), SPSS was the main tool used to analyse the responses of the students to the different questionnaire items

  • The findings showed that students’ learning motivation, students ’thinking, students’ learning difficulties on learning, students’ learning style, and students’ learning skills that in turn, affect students’ achievements

Summary

Introduction

Despite the role teacher plays in conventional classrooms, his/her function in problem based learning (PBL) method classes is to facilitate pupils. PBL, as a learner-centered approach, is distinctly advantageous in comparison with traditional teacher-centered didactic technique as a matter of the fact that it promotes a long-time information retention, which results in contextual learning as well as skills and tendencies development generically [1]. As this research aims at, providing a clear vision of the necessity of applying active approaches in interactive learning conditions, the use of problem based learning method in blended learning environments is scrutinized. Opportunity understanding of Students for developing their skills as well as thinking within the problem based learning method has been explored
