Abstract

Objective: This research aims to determine the role of multiplayer online educational games in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. Method: This study utilizes a systematic review method guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. A comprehensive search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science (WoS) databases, identifying studies that focused on multiplayer online educational games and their impact on critical thinking skills. Out of 910 studies identified, 20 met the inclusion criteria after a rigorous screening. Results: The results indicate a positive association between multiplayer educational games and enhancing critical thinking skills across various educational settings. Key aspects extracted include game design, educational context, participant demographics, and methodologies for assessing critical thinking outcomes. However, variability in game designs and measurement tools highlights a need for standardized assessment approaches in future research. Novelty: This review underscores the evolving potential of multiplayer online educational games as innovative tools for developing critical thinking skills. With the increasing integration of digital technologies in education, this study sheds light on how game-based learning can address 21st-century educational needs by fostering essential cognitive skills.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of critical thinking as a predictor of mental health among university students. A total of 360 undergraduate students in Indonesia participated, selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected both online through Google Forms and offline through direct distribution of questionnaires. Simple linear regression analysis was conducted after meeting the assumptions of normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. The results indicated that critical thinking significantly predicted students' mental health (F = 12.160, p < 0.05, B = −0.899, t = −3.487). However, the strength of the relationship was relatively weak (R = 0.181, R² = 3.3%), indicating that critical thinking explains only a small proportion of the variance in mental health while other factors contribute more substantially. The negative regression coefficient indicates that higher critical thinking ability is associated with lower mental health problem scores. These findings suggest that critical thinking plays a role in predicting students’ mental health, though its contribution is limited. Therefore, universities should integrate critical thinking training into curricula as part of mental health promotion in higher education environments.
