The impact of problem-based learning and metacognition on solving environmental pollution issues

The lecture technique still dominates in biology education, and there are not enough hands-on, interactive, creative, and problem-solving learning activities to encourage students to apply their problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study is to examine how the problem-based learning (PBL) model and students' metacognition skills affect their ability to solve environmental pollution issues. A total of 60 X MIPA students from SMA Muhammadiyah 16 Jakarta comprised the total sample of the research, collected using the quasi-experimental approach. For the study, two groups were utilized: the experimental group (X MIPA 1) and the control group (X MIPA 2). A 2 x 2 factorial design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed for the investigation. The instruments used in the study were classified as tests or non-tests. The test instrument is an essay designed to collect data on problem-solving ability and metacognition ability, while the non-test instruments are student worksheets that refer to the PBL stage, and the observation sheet is designed for instructors and students. Data analysis using ANCOVA with a significance level of 0.000 < α = 0.05 indicates that H0 was rejected. The interaction between the PBL learning model and students' metacognition skills also has an impact on their capacity to address environmental pollution-related issues.

Effect of the Problem-based Learning (PBL) Method with the Integration of Interactive Simulation on the Physical Sciences Conceptual Understanding of the Moroccan Common Core Learners

Thanks to its advantages in improving the learning, the understanding and the performance of learners, the interactive simulations have become among the main tools recommended by many researches as an alternative to the traditional pedagogical tools. Indeed, the forms and the objectives of the integration of simulations in teaching and learning process are varied depending on the pedagogical needs of the user, as well as according to the adopted learning methods and activities. In this contribution we aim to study the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) using interactive simulation, on the understanding of the concepts related to the rotational equilibrium, taught in common core science level. The concepts covered by this study are force and inventory, torque and Newton's second law for rotation. We first propose a selection grid to help teachers to choose the appropriate simulation product for a given problem-based learning activity, we later perform the experience to compare the performance of the students in the control group (who solve the problem using traditional method) and the students in the experimental group (who use the simulation tool) based on the pre-test and post-test methodology. The simulation tool used in the experimental part is determined using the grid that we have developed. Obtained results have shown that the use of interactive simulation has a positive effect on student's conceptual understanding, if it was properly integrated into an educational context.

Problem-based learning: Effects on academic performance and perceptions of engineering students in computer sciences

In the present article we analyse the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) on learning and perceptions in first-year students undertaking Engineering in Computer Sciences. The module designed took a number of advanced theories of PBL and its application within the Engineering profession. Mixed methods were used to enable data from qualitative and quantitative instruments to be obtained. A quasi-experimental design was specified, employing non-probabilistic sampling, with a control (N = 40) and experimental group (N = 39). In comparing PBL with traditional methods, the results reveal statistically significant differences in aspects such as academic performance. Teamwork, oral communication, written communication and students’ perceptions of the learning experience were also all favoured. Nonetheless, lack of adequate team dynamics in previous learning experiences and reluctance to change traditional teaching approaches, could compromise the viability of that proposed.
