Abstract

This study examines the effect of the problem-based learning approach on primary school students' problem-solving abilities. This research investigates the extent to which the problem-based learning model affects primary school students' problem-solving abilities, with a special focus on its factors. This quantitative study uses a sample of 42 students and employs an exhaustive sampling approach and an experimental research design. We analyzed students' problem-solving ability using a validated and reliable assessment. The researcher used the Mann-Whitney U test to compare the inquiry learning model in the control group with the problem-based learning model in the experimental group. The findings indicate that students in the experimental group have enhanced problem-solving abilities compared with those in the control group. The problem-based learning model did not markedly improve students' problem-solving skills in analysis, assessment, and invention compared with the inquiry learning model. Consequently, to achieve better results, it is important to use innovative learning implementation strategies and additional methods.
