How Project-Based Learning Improves Critical Thinking Skills for Sustainable Development

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the effectiveness of project-based learning on enhancing the critical thinking skills of students. The research was conducted on a sample of student in the Department of Curricula and Teaching Methods, after dividing them into two equal groups (control and experimental) at random. The main research tool consisted of a measure of critical thinking. The results showed that project-based learning had a positive and statistically significant effect on the development of critical thinking skills of the experimental group, which was mediated by the underlying factors of identifying and controlling variables, testing hypotheses, and reasoning.
