Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the moderating role of student engagement in the relationship between Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and soft skill development among high school students in Anhui Province, China.Soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and critical thinking, are crucial for success in the 21st-century workforce.Addressing a gap in understanding, this research utilizes a cross-sectional survey of 172 high school students engaged in English courses employing PBL.Data analysis through SPSS reveals that positive perceptions of PBL significantly enhance soft skills, with student engagement amplifying this effect.These findings emphasize the importance of fostering engaging learning environments to maximize PBL's impact, offering practical insights for educators and policymakers integrating studentcentered methodologies in high school curricula.
