Abstract (English)
This study examined the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on preservice secondary mathematics teachers’ self-efficacy, collaborative skills, and mathematical creativity. It also explored how interaction patterns during collaborative problem-solving influenced these variables. Anchored on the constructivist learning theory, the study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Custom-designed PBL materials, guided by the 3C3R model, were implemented in two mathematics specialization courses at a state university in the Philippines. Quantitative data were collected using validated self-efficacy and collaborative skills scales, and a mathematical creativity test. Qualitative data were obtained through student reflections and interaction surveys, which were analyzed using social network analysis (SNA). Results revealed notable improvements in students’ self-efficacy, collaborative skills, and mathematical creativity after participating in the PBL activities. Additionally, denser and more reciprocal interaction patterns emerged in the post-PBL SNA, and these were found to influence the development of the three outcome variables. These findings underscore the potential of well-structured PBL activities to enhance key competencies and foster productive classroom interactions among preservice mathematics teachers.

Abstract (Filipino)
Sinuri sa pag-aaral na ito ang epekto ng Problem-Based Learning (PBL) sa self-efficacy, kasanayang kolaboratibo, at malikhaing pag-iisip sa matematika ng mga guro sa sekundaryang matematika na nasa yugto ng paghahanda (preservice teachers). Tinalakay din kung paano nakaaapekto ang mga padron ng interaksyon sa kolaboratibong paglutas ng suliranin sa paglinang ng mga nabanggit na kakayahan. Ang pag-aaral na ito ay nakabatay sa teoryang konstruktibismo at sumunod sa panuntunan ng explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.
Ang mga ginamit na materyal sa pagkatuto sa dalawang asignaturang espesyalisasyon sa matematika sa isang pamantasang pampubliko sa Pilipinas ay nakabatay sa PBL at nakadisensyo alinsunod sa modelong 3C3R. Nakalap ang mga kuwantitatibong datos gamit ang mga balidong panukat para sa self-efficacy at kasanayang kolaboratibo, gayundin ang pagsusulit sa malikhaing pag-iisip sa matematika. Samantala, ang mga kwalitatibong datos ay hinango mula sa mga repleksyon ng mga mag-aaral at mga sarbey hinggil sa interaksyon, na sinuri gamit ang Social Network Analysis (SNA).
Ipinakita ng mga resulta ang makabuluhang pagtaas sa self-efficacy, kasanayang kolaboratibo, at malikhaing pag-iisip sa matematika matapos ang implementasyon ng PBL. Lumitaw din ang mas masinsin at mas balanseng mga padron ng interaksyon sa post-PBL na SNA, at napatunayang may impluwensya ang mga ito sa pag-unlad ng mga nasabing kakayahan. Ipinahihiwatig ng mga natuklasan ang potensyal ng maayos na nakabalangkas na PBL sa pagpapahusay ng mahahalagang kakayahan at sa pagpapaigting ng makabuluhan at produktibong interaksyon sa silid-aralan.
