Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that centers on students actively engaging in real-world, meaningful projects to explore and construct knowledge. This study investigates the influence of PBL on learning outcomes, creativity, and student motivation in science learning at the elementary school level. In addition, this study aims to explore how PBL, as an instructional approach, affects learning outcomes, creativity and student motivation in science education. The research employed a quantitative approach through a quasi-experimental method. The sample consisted of elementary school students in Surabaya, Indonesia, who were exposed to PBL activities in their science classes, while a control group experienced conventional instruction. Both groups completed pre- and post-tests to assess changes in creativity and motivation. The research design employed was a true experimental design, involving the formation of two groups, namely the control and experimental groups, through random sampling. This study's results indicate that PBL significantly impacts student learning outcomes, motivation, and creativity in science education. These findings contribute to the existing literature on PBL and its influence on learning outcomes, creativity, and student motivation in science learning. The results underscore the importance of integrating PBL as a practical instructional approach in elementary school classrooms to foster creativity and enhance student motivation. Educators and policymakers can use these insights to promote innovative teaching methods that encourage active participation, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills in science education at the elementary level.

Abstract

Students are not encouraged to develop their thinking skills, and learning in class is only directed at memorizing information. In addition, it is important for Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students who will become elementary school teacher candidates to have good critical thinking skills and a good understanding of basic science concepts. This study describes the ability to think critically and understand basic science concepts in PGSD students at PGRI Yogyakarta University. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using survey methods. The population of this study was second- semester PGSD students at PGRI Yogyakarta University. The research sample consisted of 77 second-semester PGSD students. The data analysis technique used in this study was descriptive analysis by measuring and describing the results of critical thinking skills and understanding basic science concepts. The results of this study indicate that the highest percentage of achievement is on the indicator of critical thinking skills, namely providing simple explanations, with a percentage of 75.45% with high criteria, and the indicator of understanding concepts with the highest percentage, namely the indicator of remembering with a percentage of 87.98% with very high criteria.
