The Influence of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model on Mathematical Critical Thinking Abilities: A Meta-Analysis

One of the abilities that students need to have in learning mathematics is critical thinking.Problem Based Learning (PBL) is one of the teaching approaches that has been widely used in mathematics education.Through various sources such as Sinta and Garuda, the author managed to obtain 72 articles, which were then selected according to inclusion criteria to become 13 articles on the influence of PBL on critical thinking skills.These articles will be analyzed using the website https://www.meta-mar.comto obtain the combined effect size.Based on the analysis of the combined effect size, it can be concluded that overall, the implementation of PBL as a teaching model has a significant and strong influence on students' mathematical critical thinking abilities.
