Abstract

Biodiversity is an important topic in biology education; however, challenges remain in the form of low conceptual understanding and a lack of student engagement in the learning process, which results in suboptimal creative thinking abilities and collaboration skills. Problem-Oriented Project-Based Learning (POPBL) is a learning model that integrates authentic problem-solving with projects, thereby having the potential to enhance both of these abilities. This study aims to analyze the effect of POPBL on students’ creative thinking abilities and collaboration skills in the context of biodiversity. The study employed a quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 43 seventh-grade students from MTs Bina Bangsa Cendekia Sukabumi, selected using purposive sampling and divided into experimental and control groups. Data on creative thinking skills were collected through an essay test and analyzed using N-Gain and the independent samples t-test, while collaboration skills were assessed via an observation sheet and analyzed using quantitative descriptive statistics and a test for differences in means. The results of the study indicate a significant difference in creative thinking abilities between the two classes (Sig. 0.0001), with a greater improvement observed in the experimental class. Students’ collaboration skills were also better in the experimental class. Thus, POPBL is effective in enhancing students’ creative thinking abilities and collaboration skills.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in science learning, yet students often struggle to understand abstract biological concepts, especially the human digestive system. This study aimed to examine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with Multiple Representation on students’ critical thinking skills compared with Discovery Learning. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design was employed. The participants were 44 eighth-grade students of MTs Bina Bangsa Cendikia Sukabumi, consisting of an experimental group (n = 22) and a control group (n = 22). Data were collected through pretest-posttest critical thinking tests based on Facione’s six indicators and a student response questionnaire. Data analysis included the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, Mann–Whitney U test, and N-Gain analysis. The findings showed no significant difference in critical thinking skills between groups (p = 0.770). However, posttest results indicated a significant difference favoring the experimental group (p = 0.000). The experimental group achieved higher N-Gain scores across all indicators, with interpretation (0.96), analysis (0.94), and inference (0.72) in the high category. Students responded positively to the learning model. These findings demonstrate that PBL integrated with Multiple Representation effectively enhances critical thinking skills in learning the human digestive system.
