Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine students' perceptions of the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing creative writing skills. Utilizing Robbins' framework of perception—acceptance, understanding, and evaluation—this research employs a qualitative methodology. The participants consisted of twenty students selected purposively from a larger literacy organization at STKIP ABMUL, Dampal Selatan. Data collection instruments included observational checklists and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the PBL model significantly contributes to the improvement of students' writing abilities, particularly in fostering creativity, imagination, and critical thinking. The participants expressed increased motivation and interest in writing, particularly in crafting short stories. As an outcome of their engagement with PBL, a student-initiated literacy organization was formed, serving as a collaborative space to nurture creative expression through written work.

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of 18 students from IAIN Bone through a series of structured interviews. Using the qualitative method, the results indicated that most students had a positive perception of metacognitive dimensions, particularly appreciating how these strategies enhance comprehension, promote active participation, and foster classroom interaction. Three main themes were found: emotional engagement with the learning process, affective engagement and emotional support, and experiential learning process. However, some students expressed challenges, including feelings of nervousness and anxiety related to the frequent questioning and active engagement required. Despite these challenges, most students strongly desired to continue using metacognitive dimensions in future classes. These findings suggested that while metacognitive dimensions are generally well-received, their implementation required sensitivity to students' varying levels of comfort with active participation. This study enhanced the comprehension of student perceptions and provided insights for lecturers aiming to incorporate metacognitive approaches into reading comprehension classes
