critical thinking and self-directed learning skills, and engages students in solving problems (Williams, 1999). There is a theoretical basis for using PBL to promote students' critical thinking skills (Biley and Smith, 1999), but little empirical evidence exists to verify such a theoretical hypothesis in Mainland China.

Students grappled with ideas and their beliefs and employed deep critical-thinking skills to develop arguments for their claims. Embedding critical-thinking skills in curriculum that students care ...

Abstract. Health professions educators are increasingly urged to use learning designs that promote critical thinking and the development of interpersonal competencies. Problem-based learning (PBL) has a long, albeit contested, history as a collaborative and deep think-aloud process that participants use to reach conclusions about medical cases.

In conclusion, PBL promoted nursing students' critical thinking skills, and most of the students suggested that PBL encouraged them to share their opinions with others, analyze situations in different ways and think of more possibilities for solving problems. The objectives of this study were to compare the critical thinking skills before and after the implementation of the problem-based ...

Critical thinking is a significant twenty-first century skill that is prioritized by higher education. Problem-based learning is becoming widely accepted as an effective way to enhance critical thinking. However, as the results of studies that use PBL to develop CT have had mixed success, PBL models need to be modified to guarantee positive outcomes. This study is a systematic review that ...

It is often assumed that problem-based learning is an effective approach for fostering the development and/or improvement of students' critical thinking. To shed light on the connection between problem-based learning and critical thinking, this scoping review maps out how the notion of critical thinking is conceptualized in relation to problem-based learning in the literature about problem ...

The chapter also provides implications for implementing PBL that focus on learning design principles and problem design principles that promote critical thinking. This includes a consideration of the characteristics of ill-structured problems that frame learning in PBL and how these problems are posed or presented to learners to ensure ...

1. Introduction. Critical thinking (CT), as certain higher-order thinking, has been regarded as a planned achievement of education in 2050 (International Commission on the Futures of Education Commission, 2021), which, when taught effectively, will promote logical problem-solving (Dwyer et al., 2011) and contribute to the educational improvement, especially in higher education, and the job market.

students' critical thinking was improved with the use of problem-based learning, compared with traditional lectures. Similarly, the findings of Tseng et al.'s (2011) study with 120 Taiwanese registered nursing students, showed that PBL was more effective developing students' critical thinking skills than concept mapping. The authors adopted

The development of critical thinking skills in an online context has mainly focused on asynchronous discussion about real-world situations ( Puig et al., 2020 ). The contribution of the present study is that it shows that project-based learning can foster critical thinking in a purely online setting.

Fostering students' critical thinking skills is an urgent issue that requires immediate attention. One viable solution to address this is the implementation of project-oriented problem-based learning (POPBL) through the SR-STEM project. This research aims to describe the implementation, effectiveness, and student perception of the POPBL model through the SR-STEM project in enhancing critical ...

Critical thinking is an important skill for graduates in 21st century teaching and learning.
