Overview

Quasi-experimental design improved reflective and critical thinking in elementary students, suggesting PBL enhances cognitive engagement.

Key Points

  • The experimental group scored significantly higher on post-tests, demonstrating the effectiveness of problem-based learning.
  • Post-test scores were M = 83.91 for the experimental group and M = 70.24 for the control group, with p = 0.000 indicating strong significance.
  • Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, 90 students were divided into experimental and control groups for evaluation of thinking skills.
  • The study highlights the importance of curriculum change and educator development for enhancing reflective thinking in science education.
