“…Student-centered learning process makes students better their achievements including attitudes compared to traditional learning. One example of student-centered learning is problem-based learning (Emanet & Kezer, 2020). They could not think critically since they found some difficulties in seeing the relevance of the presented topics.…”

Critical thinking plays a crucial role in the learning process. Critical thinking should become the focus of learning since it encourages the development of knowledge and includes the act of contemplating subjects, content, and problems. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Digital Mind Maps-Integrated PBL (DMM-Integrated PBL) in improving students' critical thinking. This quasi-experiment study employed a pretest-posttest control group design, involving 103 university students from the Biology Department of University in Riau, Indonesia, as the sample. The details of each group consist of 31 students in conventional, PBL (37 students), and DMM-Integrated PBL (35 students) classes. The research data was collected using an essay test. The data obtained were analyzed using ANCOVA at a significance level of 5% and an LSD test. Essay test developed based on critical thinking indicators: basic clarification, bases for a decision, inference, advanced clarification, supposition and integration, and strategies and tactics. All the instruments had been validated. The ANCOVA analysis results proved that PBL and DMM-Integrated PBL affected the students' critical thinking. However, the LSD test showed no significant difference between PBL and DMM-Integrated PBL in promoting students' critical thinking. Finally, to promote students' critical thinking, educators are recommended to use PBL or DMM-Integrated PBL in the classroom.

“…However, these findings contrast with those of Alsup, who discovered that students enrolled in Mathematics classes where traditional methods were used showed a greater decline in students' Mathematics anxiety than those enrolled in constructivist, active-learning classes [45]. Emanate showed that student-centered teaching strategies can help students who are anxious about Mathematics [46]. Altun stated that the type of teaching method adopted by Mathematics teachers can have an impact on how the students feel about Mathematics or how anxious they are [47].…”

This study focused on the link between Mathematics teaching strategies and students' anxiety in school. This study follows a qualitative approach, using a systematic literature review by evaluating and summarizing the relevant research results on students' Mathematics anxiety and Mathematics teaching strategies. Online databases were searched and ten studies were selected, and only the studies that were published between 2000 and 2022 were included in this study. The studies examined how students' Mathematics anxiety is affected by Mathematics teaching strategies such as the followings: problem-based teaching style, direct teaching style, single instructional approach, systematic and structured approach, creative and discovery approach, inclusive instructional strategies, inquiry-based learning, and student-centered learning methods of teaching. The study concluded that there is a relationship between Mathematics teaching strategies and students' Mathematics anxiety. Student-centered teaching methods, problem-based teaching approaches, creative and discovery approaches, inclusive instructional strategies, and inquiry-based learning were found to reduce Mathematics learning anxiety. Based on the findings, this systematic literature review suggests that a positive and welcoming environment should be created by Mathematics teachers so that concepts in Mathematics can be discussed by students without being afraid of failing, thereby reducing their anxiety in Mathematics.

“…So, how LC is connected to the mathematics class is briefly reviewed. Learner-centered instruction in mathematics is contributing factor enhancing learning performance and attitude (AY Emanet & Kezer, 2021) and it also increase the positive behaviour and confidence of the learner (Burns et al, 2014) which were implemented in different approaches and methods like problem-solving, collaborative or cooperative learning and others. The problem-solving approach is the central approach in mathematics teaching and learning activities in which learners are expected to participate actively.…”

Learner-centered instruction is very important concept in virtual and face-to-face classes for enhancing academic performance of students. This research aims to study the status of learner-centered instructions followed by the teachers in online classes during the pandemic and its effectiveness on the mathematics achievement of the learners. The cross-sectional survey design was used by taking 2273 students by convenient sampling from basic to university level of Nepal. The t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression techniques were used to analyze the data. The finding of the study indicates that the learning-centered role of teachers was found to be high in mathematics teaching during the pandemic situation in Nepal however teachers are not habituated to give extra time in learning difficulties whereas the problem solving and creative role of teachers were found better as compared to other. Types of the institutions, teaching level, access to the internet, and having tablet are the determinants for the learner-centered instruction in teaching whereas availability of laptop and computer, types of institutions, and access to the internet have significant roles to determine the mathematics achievement. The findings of this research suggest that practice of learner-centered instruction would be useful and beneficial for the learners in online classes.
