The Implementation of Project-Based Learning to Improve Students

Abstract

A common problem in English learning is students' poor reading skills due to a lack of motivation, limited vocabulary, and inadequate teaching methods. This results in low student learning outcomes, necessitating teachers to employ learning models such as Project-Based Learning (PjBL).The application of PjBL as a pedagogical strategy to improve student engagement, creativity, critical thinking, and academic achievement. This study was conducted at MA Sultan Hadlirin involving 23 grade X students. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The results of the analysis showed that the sig value (2-tailed) was 0.000 which was lower than 0.05. This shows a significant increase between learning outcomes before and after using the PjBL model. So it can be concluded that the use of the PjBL model can improve student learning outcomes. Therefore, the PjBL model has proven to be a useful method in improving student learning outcomes effectively.
