<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the low level of students’ skills in writing observational reports among tenth-grade students of SMK NU Kelautan dan Pariwisata Kaplongan. The purpose of this research was to determine the implementation of the project-based learning model assisted by Canva media in improving students’ skills in writing observational reports. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The research subjects consisted of students from class X PRH 1 as the experimental group and class X PRH 2 as the control group. The research instruments included a writing skills test for observational reports and an observation sheet for students’ learning activities. Data were analyzed using the t-test to identify differences in learning outcomes between the experimental and control classes. The results of the independent sample t-test showed a t-value of 23.951 with a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.00 < 0.05, indicating that the data were statistically significant. The analysis revealed that the implementation of project-based learning with Canva media had a significant positive effect on students’ ability to write observational reports. Students in the experimental class demonstrated notable improvement compared to the control class in terms of writing structure, content accuracy, and language use. This was evidenced by an increase in the experimental class’s posttest mean score from 50.43 to 58.77, while the control class showed only a slight increase from 49.46 to 51.71. Furthermore, students’ responses toward the use of Canva in learning were highly positive, as it was perceived to be engaging, easy to use, and relevant to the needs of the digital generation. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the project-based learning model assisted by Canva media is effective in enhancing students’ skills in writing observational reports at SMK NU Kelautan dan Pariwisata Kaplongan.]]>
