Hypothesis testing was carried out using a two-tailed t-test with the pooled variance formula.

The PjBL model can be recommended as a learning model used in history learning because it is able to reconstruct student knowledge, through the skills of observing, analyzing, and synthesizing information aiming to foster a deeper understanding of historical events. In addition, PjBL focuses on a product-oriented problem-solving process, so it is effective in improving critical thinking skills.
