Integrated PBL Approach : Preliminary Findings towards Physics Students’ Critical Thinking and Creative-Critical Thinking

The main purpose of this study was to report the findings on physics students’ critical thinking of early implementation of an integrated problem-based learning (PBL) approach. This study was performed on a cohort of 28 Physics with Electronics students from School of Science and Technology at Unive...
