Abstract

This article explores the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) in developing critical thinking skills among secondary school students. The study highlights the importance of fostering critical thinking in the 21st-century educational landscape and demonstrates how PBL enhances student engagement, autonomy, and problem-solving abilities. The findings indicate that students engaged in PBL become more independent thinkers and actively participate in collaborative learning environments.
