ABSTRACT

The use of the Project Based Learning learning model is rooted in the challenges of the conventional learning process, which is often less effective in increasing active involvement and deep understanding of students. Traditional learning tends to focus on one-way teaching methods that emphasize memorization and understanding of the material. In this context, the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model emerges as an approach that focuses on providing learning experiences through projects designed to solve problems. The main factor for success in learning is the accuracy of the use of learning models. The purpose of this study was to see whether there was an effectiveness of the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model in the subject of science in improving the understanding of fourth grade students of Krapyak Wetan Elementary School. This study used a quasi-experimental research type with research subjects of 25 students of class IV A as an experimental class using the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model and 25 students of class IV B as a control class with a conventional learning model. The data collection instrument was in the form of pretest and posttest question sheets. The findings of this study were an increase in understanding of the concept of science material using the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model. The data obtained were normally distributed and homogeneous. The results of the T-test using the Independent Sample T-test with a value of 0.000 < 0.05 then Ho is rejected which indicates that there is a difference in increasing understanding of the concept of science material. The increase in understanding of the concept of science material for class IVA by utilizing the Project Based Learning model has been proven, with the initial measurement results of 60.8 increasing to 90.4 with an increase of 30%. So the Project Based Learning learning model has a significant effect and can be used as an alternative learning model for class IV students.
