Problem-Based Learning Assisted by Physics Digital Pocket Book: Experimental Study to Enhance Students’ Critical Thinking Skills Completed with Bibliometric Analysis toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Keywords:
Critical thinking skills, Digital book, Global warming, Physics learning, Problem-based learningAbstract
This study presents a bibliometric and experimental
investigation of Problem-Based Learning assisted by a
Physics Digital Pocket Book (PhyPo) to enhance students’
critical
thinking skills. Bibliometric analysis indicates
increasing research interest in digital learning and problem
based approaches, while highlighting the limited integration
of both in physics education. This study employed a true
experimental design with a randomized pretest–posttest
control group involving high school students. The results
show that the implementation of PBL assisted by PhyPo was
highly effective, leading to improved critical thinking skills
and positive student responses. The integration of
interactive digital media and inquiry-based learning
enhances engagement and learning outcomes. These
findings contribute to the advancement of innovative physics
education aligned with sustainable development goals.
