Enhancing Problem-Solving Learning Models: A Review from the Lens of Independent Learning in the Post-Pandemic Era

Abstract

This research aims to explore the optimization of the problem-solving learning model within the context of independent learning in the post-pandemic era. Utilizing a systematic literature review method and the PRISMA model, the study identifies 25 pertinent articles concerning the implementation of the problem-solving learning model in independent learning. The analysis indicates that applying this model positively impacts students' critical thinking abilities, enhances creativity, and reinforces communication and collaboration skills. From an independent learning standpoint, the problem-solving learning model grants students the autonomy to cultivate creative thinking patterns and fosters heightened engagement in the learning process. The study also highlights adapting the model to online learning, with teachers as facilitators. In conclusion, these findings underscore the effectiveness of the problem-solving learning model in independent learning, especially in the post-pandemic era. They also offer valuable insights for educators and policymakers to develop adaptive learning strategies suited to the current educational environment.
