This study aims to find out (1) the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Clippings in history learning in class X at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya. (2) whether the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Clipping can increase the motivation to learn history of class X students at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya. This study uses a quantitative approach with the type of pre-experimental research and one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study is all students of class X consisting of 6 classes. The sample was selected using the purposive sampling technique, namely 22 students in class X of Visual Communication Design (DKV). Data collection techniques include observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through percentage calculation, normality test, and paired sample t-test. The results of the research analysis showed that the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Clippings in increasing the motivation to learn history subjects was in accordance with the syntax of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model as stated in the Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) and had been implemented well. This is evidenced by the results of the evaluation of student activities which reached 87% and are included in the very good category. Before using the clipping-assisted Project Based Learning (PjBL) model, motivational evaluation showed a success rate of around 36.36%. After using the clipping-assisted Project Based Learning (PjBL) model  , there was a significant increase to reach 95.46%, exceeding the set achievement indicator of 81%. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a tcount of > ttable or 11,100 > 2,086. Thus, the clipping-assisted Project Based Learning (PjBL) model  has been proven to have an effect on the motivation of history learning of grade X students at SMK Negeri 1 Mesjid Raya. Therefore, the clipping-assisted Project Based Learning (PjBL) model  is effectively applied in history learning.
