Abstract

Collaboration skills are becoming increasingly important for students to effectively solve complex problems in the 21st-century learning era. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) combined with Collaborative Mind Mapping (CMM) on enhancing students’ collaboration skills in biology learning. This study employs a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design, with a population consisting of all eleventh-grade students at SMAN 4 Parepare, located in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study involves 109 students, with 37 students in the experimental group using the PBL-CMM model, 36 students in the positive control group using PBL, and 36 students in the negative control group applying direct instruction. A random sampling procedure was conducted to select the three participant groups. Pretest and posttest data were collected using peer and self-assessment questionnaires. The questionnaires utilized a five-point Likert scale: strongly disagree, disagree, neutral/somewhat agree, agree, and strongly agree. The research data were analyzed using One-Way ANCOVA and LSD tests. The findings of this study indicate that the PBL-CMM learning model significantly influences students’ problem-solving skills at SMAN 4 Parepare. The use of PBL-CMM can help students learn how to collaborate to address problems and simplify their complex thinking processes regarding frequently encountered issues. A well-structured visual approach can accelerate the process of finding effective and efficient solutions.
