“…In fact, research shows that RT and AT have similar relationships with learning styles and outcomes (Levitt and Jacques, 2005;Spinelli et al, 2022) due to their shared theoretical links. For example, both positively relate to cognitive flexibility (Orakcı, 2021;Spinelli et al, 2022) and empathy (Stanlick and Hammond, 2016). Therefore, RT should enhance the skills and motivations that a person with low AT is missing, thereby increasing knowledge sharing.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to apply the motivation–opportunity–ability (MOA) framework to investigate the relationships between ambiguity tolerance (AT), reflective thinking (RT) and performance in a complex task to predict knowledge-sharing intent. Design/methodology/approach In this study, 190 subjects performed a complex scheduling task in which they were randomly assigned to either participate in RT or not. Findings Results show that factors of the MOA framework positively predicted knowledge-sharing intent. In addition, RT significantly increased intention to share for individuals with low performance or with low AT. Research limitations/implications More research is needed to determine relationships between complex task performance and knowledge sharing, and the role of learning strategies, particularly self-directed ones such as RT. Future studies may use a larger sample size for more complex analysis. Practical implications RT may be used to create a sustainable and low-cost method of increasing knowledge sharing in complex tasks, without which those with low AT or low performance may not have participated. Originality/value The study supports the importance of contextual influences and points to how organizations can use RT in addition to individual motivation and ability to encourage knowledge sharing.

“…From Facione's perspective, one must employ core thinking skills to think critically, such as creating inferences, investigating assumptions, making deductions or reasoning, making interpretations, and making judgments (Hajhosseini et al, 2016). Critical thinking is also perceived as a cognitive skill associated with logical analysis and argument evaluations to determine logical acts (Alvarez-Huerta et al, 2022;Orakci, 2021;Papp et al, 2014;Stupnisky et al, 2008).…”

Critical thinking is an important skill for graduates in 21st century teaching and learning. One of the modern educational pedagogies which can be utilized by educators to inculcate students’ critical thinking skills and improve student learning effectively is the problem-based learning (PBL) approach. The Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases have been used to source published scientific literature on this topic and develop themes of critical thinking abilities in teaching through PBL for students. This study revealed four major themes and nine sub-themes with regards to critical thinking skills in teaching in relation to PBL. The major themes consisted of the learning environment, content, process, and human capital. The review revealed that most of the studies were conducted to understand critical thinking skills in problem-based learning. This study found that PBL was a major approach used in teaching students, as well as a wide range of other techniques that may develop diverse abilities, such as thinking critically and creatively, solving problems, collaborating, communicating effectively, and global literacy. This paper also highlights the challenges in developing critical thinking among students and identifies topics for further research.

“…Independence is gained through the experience of learning actively and effectively (Orakci & Gelisli, 2017;Orakci & Gelisli, 2019). Students' increasing independence has an impact on cognitive flexibility (Orakcı, 2021). To produce independent students, educators are required to have skills in developing active learning by managing the planning, learning, implementation and evaluation which are focused specifically on students' ability and development (Tseng et al, 2020).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Problem Based Learning (PBL) with the support of Prezi media on scientific literacy and independence. The research design used was quasi-experimental in nature. The sample of this study consisted of 59 fourth grade students. Data were collected using a test and a questionnaire. The instruments used were a 20-item test to assess scientific literacy and a 30-item questionnaire to measure independence. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and statistical inference. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used in testing the hypotheses. The findings show that the PBL model supported by Prezi media has a simultaneous and partial effect on students' scientific literacy and independence. The findings also show that the Prezi media-enabled PBL model has a greater impact on scientific literacy than on students' independence.
