“…Apart from that, only 19% of students stated that the teacher had given problem-solving skills questions and only 38% of children were interested in solving the problems given. This shows that science learning at the school does not support students' problem-solving abilities (Wakhata et al, 2023). Problems that occur in the field can be overcome by implementing a supportive teaching system using appropriate learning activity models.…”

This research aims to improve problem-solving abilities regarding the greenhouse effect using project-based learning methods supported by Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)-based teaching materials. The study was conducted in multiple phases: (i) utilizing a pretest to gauge students' prior knowledge, (ii) employing the project-based learning approach to teach the greenhouse effect, and (iii) assessing students' final knowledge (with a posttest). The research was completed with the observation of temperature variations in a greenhouse prototype. Students monitored and recorded temperature changes over time. Students' problem-solving abilities increased significantly after being treated using project learning assisted by STEM-ESD teaching materials, imparting more information through the media by stimulating students' curiosity and interest in science subjects.

“…This introspection aids in personal growth and the refinement of CR abilities. Moreover, the approach often involves problem-solving exercises that necessitate students to analyze information, draw conclusions, and make informed decisions (Wakhata et al, 2023). These activities inherently bolster critical thinking skills, directly applicable to CR.…”

The current study aimed to assess the impact of an active learning approach on the development of critical reading skills among 10th-grade students. The research involved 40 10th-grade students from a Thai public school, selected through purposive sampling methods. Data collection followed a one-group pre-test and post-test design, allowing for the assessment of changes in student performance before and after the implementation of an active learning management plan. An effectiveness index was employed to measure the relationship between post-test performance and initial proficiency, while a paired samples t-test was used to determine significant differences in pre-test and post-test scores. The results revealed the noteworthy effectiveness of the active learning approach in enhancing critical reading skills among the 10th-grade participants. Pre-test and post-test comparisons indicated substantial improvements in critical reading abilities, with an effectiveness index of 0.325, highlighting a significant 32.50% improvement. This result significantly contributes to the field of education by providing empirical evidence of the efficacy of the active learning approach in enhancing critical reading skills. Educators and instructional designers are encouraged to incorporate active learning strategies, such as game-based learning, think-pair-share, and Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition into their teaching approaches. These strategies not only enhance critical reading but also nurture a holistic reading skill set.

“…As an individual's mathematical skills improve, their confidence in their ability to solve mathematical problems also tends to increase. Studies report a strong correlation between ATMI and performance in quantitative analysis: for instance, Wakhata et al (2023) conclude that ATMI is strongly positively related to achievements in linear programming analysis.…”

Although mathematical skills are an important component for business students, many students struggle to understand and meet the demands in different subjects. There is a considerable heterogeneity among the different subjects and the need for good mathematical skills varies from subject to subject. To analyse this, we apply the Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) framework. The data are collected by asking students at a business school in Norway. The results are linked to the exam grades in the various subjects. The sample consists of approximately 150 students. As a research method, the standard linear regression model is used. The results show that there is a strong positive correlation between ATMI and success in the various subjects. This applies specifically to the dimension of self-confidence in mathematics. However, there is a considerable variation between the subjects, and in some non-quantitative subjects such as marketing, no correlation was found in this study between ATMI and exam grades. As control variables in the model, gender and Grade Point Average (GPA) from the upper secondary school were included. These variables had a rather small influence on the results for the subjects, but with significant statistical effects on some subjects. This article provides insight into a key factor that can help explain how students are performing in the various business subjects
