Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in enhancing critical thinking skills among junior high school students in Indonesia, addressing a documented deficit often linked to traditional, teacher-centered pedagogy. Employing a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design, the study involved 60 eighth-grade students. The experimental group received a PjBL intervention focused on a real-world problem, while the control group followed a conventional lecture-based curriculum. Critical thinking skills—assessed through a validated pre-test and post-test measuring interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, and explanation—served as the primary dependent variable. An independent samples t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) in the mean critical thinking scores for the PjBL group. In contrast, the control group exhibited negligible growth. The findings provide strong evidence that PjBL is a highly effective strategy for developing critical thinking. By engaging students in active, collaborative, and inquiry-driven processes, the model offers a practical solution to a persistent educational challenge, holding significant implications for curriculum reform and teacher development.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of active learning methods on student motivation and academic achievement in elementary schools. With a shift from traditional instructional approaches to more interactive and student-centered learning, this research employs a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. A structured survey was administered to 200 elementary students to assess their motivation levels and academic performance before and after the implementation of active learning strategies. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 teachers to gain insights into their experiences with these methods. The findings reveal a significant increase in student motivation, with 75% of participants reporting enhanced engagement, alongside a 15% improvement in average test scores post-intervention. Qualitative data indicate that active learning fosters collaboration and communication skills among students, contributing to a richer classroom environment. Despite challenges related to training and resource availability, educators overwhelmingly support the integration of active learning techniques. This research highlights the effectiveness of active learning in promoting not only academic success but also essential soft skills, thereby advocating for its broader application in educational settings to create more engaging and productive learning experiences for young learners.
