Abstract

This study aims to investigate the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students’ learning activity. The research method employed is classroom action research (CAR) consisting of two cycles. The subjects of this research are 38 fourth-grade students of SDN Gili Timur 2 Elementary School. The results of this study indicate that the percentage of student learning activity increased from the first cycle to the second cycle. In the first cycle, the percentage of student activity was 60 percent, and in the second cycle, it further increased to 81 percent. The average results in the second cycle show that learning activity and the implementation of PBL are categorized as very good due to the improvement. The research findings demonstrate that PBL is effective in enhancing student activity in PKn learning. Thus, PBL can be considered as an effective alternative learning model to improve student learning activity. This research provides a significant contribution to improving the quality of education at SDN Gili Timur 2

Abstract

This research analyzed creative problem-solving (CPS) components and examined the perceptions of Thai educational personnel regarding their CPS abilities. The sample consisted of 534 primary school teachers and educational supervisors during the 2024 academic year, selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire assessing CPS skills, which were then analyzed using means (M), standard deviations (SD), and second-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The research revealed that the second-order CFA model for CPS among educational personnel (teachers and supervisors) consists of five key components. Ranked from highest to lowest, these were educators' perceptions of their CPS abilities to solve problems (SOL) (M = 4.23, SD = 0.54), ability to identify problems (IDE) (M = 4.17, SD = 0.57), ability to create knowledge (CRE) (M = 4.17, SD = 0.59), ability to discover concepts (INS) (M = 4.12, SD = 0.58), and ability to discover methods to solve problems (MET) (M = 4.11, SD = 0.58). The model strongly aligned with empirical data, indicating that all three models exhibited positive component weights (β) that were statistically significant at the .01 level. This finding underscores the strength of the CPS framework for educational personnel. These findings provide compelling evidence for the effectiveness of the proposed model in assessing and enhancing CPS skills among educational professionals, contributing valuable insights to both practice and future research in this field. This study fills a gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence on the CPS capabilities of educational personnel.
