Abstract

MA NU Banat Kudus has two educational programs: boarding and regular classes. These two programs differ, particularly in terms of independence; boarding school students live in school dormitories, which require them to be independent in many aspects of daily life. In addition, education in boarding schools is divided into two types, namely diniyah learning and regular learning, while regular students only have regular learning. Critical thinking is also an important aspect that must be considered. This study aims to analyze the differences in critical thinking skills and learning independence attitudes between boarding school and regular class students in physics learning at MA NU Banat Kudus. The method used in this study is a mixed methods with a triangulation design, combining a quantitative approach through tests and a qualitative approach through interviews. The study population consisted of grade XI students, divided into two groups: boarding and regular. Quantitative data analysis was carried out using the T test, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference in critical thinking between boarding school and regular students. Based on the t-test, a significant value of 0.67 was obtained, and the average results per aspect also showed no difference between boarding school and regular students. Meanwhile, the findings on student independence showed that boarding school students demonstrated better learning independence than regular students. This study recommends that schools develop more strategic planning for boarding programs to improve overall quality and implement active learning approaches, such as Problem-Based Learning, to enhance both critical thinking skills and learning independence among students in all types of schools.

Abstract

Background: Problem-Based Learning, PBL, is a student-centered approach in science education that promotes conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking by engaging learners with authentic contextual problems. Aims: This systematic review synthesizes how PBL is implemented in science education, what outcomes are most frequently reported, and what barriers commonly hinder its adoption. Method: A PRISMA-guided systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus. Searches employed the terms “problem-based learning,” “science education,” and “science learning.” Eligible studies were empirical journal articles and conference proceedings published from 2017 to August 2025, written in English, and involving participants from elementary school through higher education. Of 388 records identified, 53 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed according to publication trends, research designs, implementation strategies, targeted outcomes, and reported constraints. Results: Across educational levels, PBL was consistently associated with cognitive gains, especially in critical thinking, problem solving, and higher-order thinking skills. The reviewed evidence also indicated affective benefits, including stronger scientific attitudes, improved learning motivation, and enhanced collaboration. Nevertheless, recurring challenges emerged, such as limited instructional time, demanding assessment processes, curriculum coverage pressures, uneven teacher readiness, unequal participation in group work, and gaps in access to learning resources and technology. Conclusion: PBL offers clear promise for improving both cognitive and affective dimensions of science learning, yet its success depends on well-designed contextual problems, adequate pedagogical support, and alignment with learners’ readiness. Strengthening teacher capacity and refining assessment practices are essential to reduce persistent implementation barriers.
