Abstract

Geography instruction still faces challenges, particularly low student engagement due to the dominance of conventional expository methods. This condition limits students’ ability to actively analyze human and environment relationships and contributes to low spatial culture skills. This study aims to examine the effect and evaluate its effectiveness of a project-based learning model combined with google earth on students’ spatial culture skills. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design. Samples were selected through simple random sampling and divided into control (expository model) and experimental (project-based learning with google earth) classes. Data were collected using a validated spatial culture test, supported by observations, interview, documentation, and analyzed using t-test and N-Gain Score. The results show a significant difference between the two groups (sig .000 < .05), indicating that project-based learning with google earth influences students’ spatial culture skills. The experimental class demonstrated higher improvement, with mean scores increasing from 55.67 (pretest) to 84.00 (post test), and an N-Gain of .7332 (73%) categorized as high. In conclusion, project-based learning integrated with google earth is effective in enhancing students’ spatial culture skills in geography learning.
