Abstract

Objective: Problem-solving skills are essential for students because they help develop logical, critical, and systematic thinking necessary for addressing challenges in both academic and real-life situations. These abilities involve several cognitive processes, including identifying problems, analyzing situations, exploring possible solutions, making informed decisions, and evaluating outcomes. Enhancing these skills is essential to prepare students to face complex situations independently and confidently. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the CFL (Collaborative Flipped Learning) learning model in improving students' problem-solving skills. Method: This research employed a quantitative experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Students were assessed before and after the implementation of the CFL model to measure the improvement in their problem-solving skills. Result: The findings from the experiments indicated that the CFL learning model significantly enhanced students’ problem-solving skills. The results show that students marked an improvement in recognizing and resolving problems more efficiently after participating in learning activities based on the CFL model. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the application of the CFL learning model specifically to the topic of temperature and heat at the junior high school level to enhance problem-solving skills. This focus has not been widely explored and offers new insights into effective science education strategies to enhance students’ problem-solving skills.
