Abstract

This paper advocates for the adoption of Nexus Analysis as a robust analytical framework in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) research. Developed by Scollon and Scollon, Nexus Analysis offers a unique lens for examining the intricate dynamics of PBL by seamlessly integrating micro-level interactions with macro-level societal discourses. The approach enables researchers to capture the rich, nuanced interplay between individual behaviors and broader educational contexts. Despite its potential, Nexus Analysis remains underutilized in the study of PBL, where research often polarizes towards either micro or macro perspectives without bridging the two. This paper discusses the foundational concepts of Nexus Analysis, illustrating its relevance and applicability in capturing the complex reality of educational environments. By highlighting its methodological strengths, the paper aims to encourage scholars to adopt Nexus Analysis, to further strengthen the research around PBL
