Abstract

Effective communication and collaboration were vital competencies that students needed to master to enhance their work ethic in the 21st century. This study sought to investigate the relationship between communication, teamwork, and work ethic qualities in the context of Project-Based Learning (PBL). The sample for this study comprised students enrolled in an introductory immunology course at the Faculty of Biology, Malang State University, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and correlation analysis. The findings indicated a correlation among communication, collaboration, and work ethic skills. Communication and teamwork contributed 61.5% to students' work ethic skills in project-based learning. The project-based learning style was crucial for enhancing students' communication and collaboration abilities. Project-based learning also influenced students' work ethic. It was strongly recommended to implement the project-based learning approach in higher education institutions to enhance students' 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

Critical thinking and advanced cognitive abilities are vital competencies in 21st-century biology education, especially in complicated subjects like immunology. Innovative pedagogical methods are crucial for helping pupils overcome learning challenges and develop a deep understanding. This study examines the integration of problem-based learning (PBL) with mind-mapping approaches to enhance undergraduates' critical thinking and cognitive learning in immunology education, a field often regarded as complex and interdisciplinary. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was utilized, comprising 23 undergraduate students participating in a fundamental immunology course at the State University of Malang, Indonesia. Data were gathered using essay-based evaluations and evaluated employing paired t-tests, N-gain scores, and effect size computations. The results demonstrated substantial enhancements in both critical thinking and cognitive learning outcomes post-intervention, with impact sizes classified as big to very large. The extent of improvement differed among indicators, exhibiting moderate advancements in applying, evaluating, and analyzing, whereas synthesis showed only modest advancement. The results indicate that PBL combined with mind-mapping can effectively enhance higher-order thinking skills in complex subjects, providing dual scaffolding that aids students in organizing intricate concepts, visualizing relationships, and reinforcing higher-order thinking abilities.
