| الملخص: | Problem Based Learning (PBL) is believed be able to promote higher order thinking,better problem solving skills and analytical thinking towards biology learning.Thisstudy employed problem-based learning in a Pre-University biology class (N=80) in aprivate college in Malaysia. The important aspect of the research is to elicit students'natural inquiry by collecting their questions addressing problem scenario andcategorization of those questions. As part of their syllabus, the problem is based ontopics Inheritance and Genetic Technology which arouse their interest to learn thruPBL. The purpose of the study was to investigate (a) the individually generatedquestions and group generated questions based on Bloom's taxonomy, (b) thecomparisons of types of questions that students asked individually and collaborativelybased on Bloom's taxonomy, and (c) explore students' reflection in learning throughthe PBL approach which has guided them in knowledge construction. Data sourcesincluded field notes, students' written documents working in groups, and individually.The results suggest that the students' were able to generate questions of higher orderthinking when working collaboratively especially in higher order thinking domain.The independent t test resulted significant difference when questions generated asindividual and group generated with significant difference (t: 2.437) p=O.O 15(knowledge) with a mean difference 0.101 and (t-3.219) p=O.OOO (analysis) with amean difference -0.128; therefore both value is p |
