摘要:Classroom climate and motivation plays a major role in the teaching-learning process. In thisstudy, we proposed a new teaching method (PBL-JD). “Problem-Based Learning” (PBL)-JigsawDiscussion (JD) (PBL-JD) is a student-centered teaching methodology applied in scienceeducation; it ensures that the students are actively involved throughout the learning process. Themain aim of this research was to examine the effect of the PBL-JD method on students’ motivationto learn science and on the science classroom climate. The participants of this pre-test – post-testquasi-experimental research consisted of 204 tenth graders studying the blood circulation system.Ninety-eight students were assigned to the experimental group and 106 to the control group. Theexperimental group was taught using the PBL-JD method, whereas the control group used thetraditional non-PBL method, i.e., lecture-based learning. Two questionnaires (pre and post) weredistributed (one for evaluating motivation and another for evaluating the science classroomclimate). Significant differences were found among the experimental group, who improved theirmotivation and their perception of the classroom climate.
