The Effects of Problem-Based Learning Instruction on University Students’ Performance of Conceptual and Quantitative Problems in Gas Concepts

Abstract: This study aimed at investigating effects of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on pre-service teachers' performance on conceptual and quantitative problems about concepts of gases. The subjects of this study were 78 second year undergraduates from two different classes enrolled to General Chemistry course in the Department of Primary Mathematics Education a State University in Turkey. Nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design was used. One of the classes was randomly chosen as experimental group (40), too… Show more

“…Besides that, these problems could also train students to solve contextual problems so that they had experience in solving problems that they faced in their real lives. This finding was in accordance with the previous finding (Gunter & Alpat, 2017;Ferreira & Trud, 2012;Akcay, 2009;Demirel & Dagyar, 2015;Downing, 2010;Bilgin et al, 2009).…”

“…The results of this study supported by Graaff & Kolmos [16] in 2003 who conveyed that PBL is a problemoriented learning model that stimulates the occurrence of an analytically complex level of comprehension through the project work, which would not be possible in conventional classes. The focus of learning is a real problem that is given to students and they should find for solutions by a series of assessments and investigations based on theories and concepts that they have learned [17].…”

“…This is particularly appropriate for developing students' mathematical literacy using problem-based learning model, because it is an effective way to solve problem and it enhances the skills used in solving problems (Ozcan and Balim, 2013;Temel, 2014). Furthermore, Bilgin et al (2009) explain that the purpose of problem based learning is to help students to think, solve problems and to improve their thinking skills by building a real situation or relating concepts to be learned.…”
