Abstract

This study developed a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) e-module integrated with a deep learning approach for teaching the human respiratory system in elementary school. The research employed the 4D model: define, design, develop, and disseminate. At the define stage, curriculum demands, learner characteristics, concepts, and learning tasks were analyzed. The design stage aligned PjBL syntax with contextual problems, a simple lung-model project, scientific literacy activities, reflective prompts, and assessment instruments. Product quality was examined through validation by three material experts and three media experts, followed by a limited practicality test. The material experts awarded a total of 78 of 80 points (97.50%), and the media experts awarded a total of 76 of 80 points (95.00%), resulting in a mean feasibility score of 96.25%, categorized as very feasible based on the predetermined feasibility criteria. Practicality reached 91% according to three teachers and 89% according to fifteen Grade V students, with a mean score of 90%, categorized as very practical based on the predetermined practicality criteria. The findings indicate that the module is content-appropriate, visually organized, navigable, and operationally usable for limited elementary science learning. Its main contribution is the explicit pedagogical alignment among project stages, conceptual connections, evidence-based reasoning, and reflection. A controlled effectiveness study remains necessary before causal claims can be made regarding gains in problem-solving and scientific literacy.

Abstract

The demands of 21st-century education require students to develop strong collaboration skills. However, students at SMPN 2 Hulu Sungkai demonstrated relatively low collaboration skills, which were attributed to teacher-centered learning practices. This study investigated the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) within the Independent Curriculum in improving students’ collaboration skills and mastery of the Human Respiratory System concept. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed. The sample consisted of two Grade VIII classes (25 students each), purposively selected based on similar pretest achievement and randomly assigned as the experimental and control groups. Both groups completed pretests and posttests, while the experimental group received PBL instruction and the control group received conventional teaching. Data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. The results revealed that PBL significantly improved students’ collaboration skills, with the experimental group achieving a mean score of 4.16 (83.2%) compared with 3.00 (60.0%) in the control group (t = 5.658 > 1.677). PBL also significantly enhanced students’ mastery of the Human Respiratory System concept, as indicated by a higher posttest mean score in the experimental group (75.4; 84.0%) than in the control group (71.2; 72.0%) (t = 1.787 > 1.677). These findings indicate that authentic problem-solving activities in PBL promote active participation, collaborative learning, and meaningful conceptual understanding. Therefore, integrating PBL into science instruction is recommended to foster students' collaboration skills and conceptual mastery.
