3 in 1 Effect When Using Adventure Based Learning Approach in Basic Statistics Class

Abstract

This research aims to study the effect of adventure-based learning on students’ basic statistics achievement, critical thinking, and leadership skills. The quasi-experimental method was used in this study through quantitative research design. The sample consisted of 30 year 1 students of one of the Teacher Education Institutes. The institute itself determined this group of students. They are in the context of an intact group. The data were analyzed inferentially by using MANOVA. The results of the MANOVA test analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the mean post-test between groups for the achievement of Basic Statistics and leadership skills. At the same time, test analysis showed insignificant results for critical thinking skills. Thus, there was no significant difference in the mean post-test of critical thinking skills between the treatment group and the control group. There is a significant difference in the mean of the second post test between groups for basic statistics achievement and critical thinking. While test analysis showed insignificant results for leadership skills.
