Abstract

The learning of Basic Natural Sciences is still dominated by conventional discussion methods and one-way communication. The aim of this study is to fill a gap in the literature by examining the relationship between learning motivation and students' critical thinking skills in Basic Natural Sciences courses using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method. The study employs a correlational research method. Learning motivation is measured using the Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction (ARCS) motivation questionnaire. Critical thinking skills are assessed through a test with indicators such as evaluating evidence, analyzing arguments, understanding implications and consequences, developing sound arguments, and understanding causation. Data analysis used in this research includes correlation analysis and regression analysis. The research results indicate a relationship between learning motivation and critical thinking skills. The correlation coefficient (r) value between learning motivation and critical thinking skills is 0.823, indicating a strong/high correlation. The relationship between learning motivation and critical thinking skills is positive. The coefficient of determination (r²) is 0.677 (67.7%), which means that 67.7% of the variability in critical thinking skills can be explained by learning motivation. The regression significance value confirms that the regression line equation can be used for predictions. The regression line equation for the relationship between learning motivation and critical thinking skills within the PBL model is .

Abstract

Modern learning focuses on active student engagement through thinking, creativity, and collaboration, supported by PjBL and AI to suit the digital era. This study explores the impact of AI-assisted project-based learning (PjBL) on students' analytical thinking, creative thinking, and collaboration skills in biology education, focusing on the circulatory system. Using a quasi-experimental design with 80 eleventh-grade students (40 experimental, 40 control) from SMAN 1 Magelang, Indonesia, the research employed MANOVA and ANOVA to analyze posttest scores. Results revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, with mean differences of 5.67 (analytical thinking, *p* = 0.001), 4.12 (creative thinking, *p* = 0.010), and 3.89 (collaboration, *p* = 0.015). AI tools enhanced analytical skills through data visualization and feedback, fostered creativity via simulations and iterative problem-solving, and supported collaboration via AI-driven task allocation and communication platforms. However, collaboration gains were more modest, underscoring the enduring role of interpersonal dynamics. The study concludes that integrating AI into PjBL effectively cultivates higher-order thinking skills, though its implementation requires balancing technological and human-centric pedagogical approaches. These findings advocate for AI as a transformative tool in biology education, provided ethical and accessibility considerations are addressed.
