Project-based Learning using video is being used at the University of Yogyakarta in order to examine the impact on students' thinking skills. The Paired Sample t-test analytic method was employed in this study to conduct a quasi-experiment, which is described in detail below. The findings revealed that: 1) the average increase from the pretest score to the posttest score was 4.55 in the experimental class and 3.41 in the control class, and 2) a statistically significant difference in the average increase was observed in the experimental class when the Project-based learning model was used in the classroom. The experimental class uses Project-based Learning, 3) the data in the experimental class is 0.097 (pretest) and 0.062 (posttest). In contrast, the data in the control class is 0.083 (pretest) and 0.064 (posttest), 4) the results of the hypothesis test revealed a significance level of 0. 007 in the experimental class and 0.016 in the control class, both of which were less than the significance level of 0.005, so that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. According to the findings of this study, there appears to be an effect of applying the Project-based learning model on students' critical thinking skills in social studies classes. PjBL (project-based learning) models that include video can help students substantially enhance their critical thinking skills.

Critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills are critical for vocational schools graduates to enter the workforce in the industrial era 4.0. This study aims to find a learning strategy that can develop these three skills. The study was carried out at SMK X Mojokerto in the Automotive Technology Program in the academic year of 2017/2018. Data were collected using an observation sheet validated by three experts and tested with inter-rater reliability. The data analysis method is t-test. The results of data analysis showed that the Contextual Project Based Learning (CPjBL) was generally effective to improve critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Detailed observation included each of these aspects. The findings showed that the implementation of contextualized learning problems could improve the aspect of originality and problem understanding skills, which was usually difficult to improve. On the other hand, CPjBL was not effective in developing the ability of analysis in critical thinking and look-back in problem-solving skills.

The Algerian educational system is competency-based; therefore, it focuses on developing learners’ competencies and skills through a learner-centered methodology that fosters autonomy. To help teachers apply such methodology, the English syllabus designers recommend using Project-Based Learning, active learning, and problem-solving strategies to help learners develop 21st-century skills and communicate effectively, collaborate, and think critically and creatively. However, those methods and strategies are absent in classrooms, and therefore critical thinking is not promoted. In this context, two questions are raised to affirm this hypothesis. (1) To what extent do teachers respect the syllabus designers’ recommendations? (2) Why do teachers avoid using the recommended methods and strategies? To investigate those questions and achieve the aim of this research, the researcher carried out an in-depth quantitative analysis of 30 anonymous classroom observation reports written by a certified English teacher trainer. To address the qualitative aspect of the research, the researcher held a semi-structured interview with the same teacher trainer. The reports that were examined contained 150 comments on teachers’ classroom practices and assessment methodologies. The results showed that English teachers partially respect the syllabus designers’ recommendations. Besides, the teachers’ methods, classroom practices, and assessment approaches are mainly based on direct instruction and language content acquisition rather than on reflective and problem-solving learning; therefore, they are not conducive to implementing and developing learners’ critical thinking. The conclusion drawn from the data analysis of the current research is that teachers’ hesitance to use the recommended pedagogical approach and methods is due to some hindrances faced by teachers, namely classrooms overcrowdedness, the content-based baccalaureate exam and lack of time due to the lengthy English programs.

Abstract. The article considers the features of the project-based learning as a mean of forming students’ skills of independent work, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, etc. Project-based learning is a special method that helps students to acquire knowledge and skills through continuing work on a problem or issue that can be interesting and exciting, but at the same time challenging. The main feature of the project-based learning is the presence of a specific educational goal, the focus on research, the authenticity of the problems studied in the project, and the emphasis on the importance of the work. Planning of the project-based learning is a complex and time-consuming task as it includes both theoretical information and development of various handouts and additional materials of practical nature to be used in the process of work. For sure, they need clear instructions to be fully understandable for students. The teacher should think about making the students ready for each stage of the project, developing the key ideas of the project, clearing the standards of the project, developing connections with other subject areas, selecting the examples and tools for a feedback. Engaging students in project-based learning effectively helps them to process the types of complex problems, to develop their ability to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, think critically and ask questions about the ideas to focus on.
