Abstract

In the rapidly evolving 21st century, fostering analytical thinking skills has become a critical objective in science education, enabling students to solve complex problems and adapt to knowledge-driven economies. This systematic literature review, covering research from 2013 to 2024 and focusing on Scopus-indexed journals (Q1–Q3), aims to identify trends in analytical thinking research, explore effective pedagogical approaches, and analyze methodological diversity in the field. Using the PRISMA framework, 60 peer-reviewed studies were systematically selected and analyzed through both quantitative and qualitative methods, with thematic coding and tools like Vosviewer employed to uncover patterns and themes. The findings highlight a surge in research during 2020–2021, driven by the global shift to remote learning, and emphasize the effectiveness of innovative teaching strategies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in fostering analytical skills. The review also underscores the role of technological interventions, such as virtual labs and simulations, in enhancing student engagement and cognitive development. However, gaps were identified, including the need for longitudinal studies and standardized evaluation metrics to assess long-term impacts. The study concludes that integrating evidence-based, scalable strategies across diverse educational contexts is essential for promoting analytical thinking as a core competency. Future research should prioritize interdisciplinary approaches and leverage emerging technologies to address these gaps. These findings provide actionable insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers aiming to advance science education and prepare students for the challenges of a dynamic world.

Abstract

This review critically evaluates the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in fostering critical thinking (CT) through a systematic analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental studies from the past decade. It synthesizes evidence across diverse contexts to identify factors influencing the success of PBL, emphasizing its contextual adaptability and methodological diversity. Notably, this review not only compiles existing evidence but also provides a nuanced analysis of the contextual and methodological elements affecting PBL's success in enhancing CT. The findings reveal that while PBL is generally effective, its superiority over traditional methods is not guaranteed, with some studies reporting comparable outcomes. High-achieving students particularly benefit from PBL, although its impact on problem-solving skills—a vital component of CT—is less pronounced. These insights underline the need for tailored PBL strategies to address its limitations and optimize its benefits. This review suggests integrating complementary methods such as technology and collaborative tools to enrich PBL. Future research should explore innovative adaptations that enhance all dimensions of CT across varied educational settings, thereby maximizing the pedagogical potential of PBL. This comprehensive evaluation provides critical insights for educators and policymakers aiming to advance CT development in contemporary education.
