Abstract

Problem-solving ability is one of the essential competencies that students should develop in physics learning. However, many students still demonstrate low problem-solving skills, indicating the need for learning models that actively engage them in critical and systematic thinking. Project-Based Learning is considered one of the instructional models capable of addressing this need. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Project-Based Learning on students' problem-solving ability in physics through a literature review. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing ten research articles published between 2014 and 2023, which were selected from Google Scholar based on predetermined inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that all reviewed studies reported a positive effect of PjBL on students' problem-solving ability. The improvement was reflected in significant statistical test results, higher normalized gain (N-Gain) scores, and better average learning outcomes in experimental groups than in control groups. These findings suggest that PjBL facilitates students in identifying problems, connecting physics concepts, developing solution strategies, and evaluating solutions through project-based learning activities. Therefore, Project-Based Learning can be considered an effective instructional model for improving students' problem-solving ability in physics learning.

Abstract

Digital transformation in higher education has triggered the repositioning of virtual laboratories as strategic instruments to support 21st-century competencies. This integrative review aims to map the developmental trends of virtual laboratory technology and its implementation patterns in stimulating university students' higher-order thinking skills (critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem-solving). Through a critical synthesis of the empirical literature, a distinct media migration trend was identified, evolving from linear interactive two-dimensional (2D) desktop simulations at the beginning of the decade toward immersive three-dimensional (3D) technologies, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and cloud computing ecosystems by the end of the decade. Empirical evidence indicates that the implementation of virtual laboratories effectively stimulates thinking skills by providing a risk-free learning environment and real-time parameter manipulation features. However, this review highlights critical academic debates regarding extraneous cognitive overload and the potential distortion of scientific reality caused by overly idealized simulation data. Optimal effectiveness is achieved when virtual laboratories are integrated via a blended learning model to serve as a pre-practicum bridge. This review offers substantial implications for lecturers and instructional designers in aligning simulation technology with active learning syntaxes in higher education.

Abstract

Physics learning often faces challenges where wave concepts are considered abstract, leading to low student understanding and misconceptions. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing high school students' conceptual understanding of waves. Using a descriptive-analytical literature review, this study analyzed 25 relevant journal articles published between 2017 and 2026. The findings indicate that PBL consistently improves conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills compared to conventional methods. The model's effectiveness is optimized through digital technology integration, such as virtual laboratories (PhET) and interactive electronic modules (E-LKPD), which facilitate complex phenomenon visualization. Furthermore, teacher-provided scaffolding is essential to guide students through authentic investigations. The study concludes that the integration of PBL with digital media serves as an effective pedagogical strategy to improve science literacy and physics learning quality in secondary education. This review provides empirical evidence and serves as an innovative reference for educators in designing adaptive learning strategies for the 21st-century classroom.
