Abstract

The low level of students’ critical thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes in biology learning indicates the need for a contextual and meaningful learning model. This study aims to examine the effect of the Project-Based Learning model based on an Entrepreneurship Professional Learning Community (PjBL-EPLC) with a Deep Learning approach on students’ critical thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes at SMAN 2 Bengkulu City. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two classes, each with 36 students, selected using purposive sampling. The instruments included a critical thinking test and an entrepreneurial attitude questionnaire. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics based on prerequisite test results. The findings revealed significant differences in critical thinking skills (p = 0.006) and entrepreneurial attitudes (p = 0.001) between the experimental and control groups. These results indicate that the PjBL-EPLC model with a Deep Learning approach is more effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes compared to conventional learning.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the lack of science practicum guides on the respiratory system that are systematically integrated with Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance junior high school students’ critical thinking skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a PjBL-based practicum guide. A Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model was employed, combined with a comparative design involving experimental and control groups. The participants were eighth-grade students from two junior high schools in Central Bengkulu. Data were collected using expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and pretest–posttest instruments. The results indicate that the developed practicum guide achieved very high validity (media: 96%; material: 94%) and excellent practicality (97.45%). The effectiveness test showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group, with a significant difference (p < 0.001). These findings confirm that the PjBL-based practicum guide is effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills.
