Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving student creativity in secondary schools. Student creativity includes four main aspects, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving two groups of students: an experimental group using the PjBL method and a control group using conventional learning methods. Data were collected through observation, creativity tests, and student learning motivation questionnaires. The results showed that the implementation of PjBL had a significant effect on increasing student creativity. Students in the experimental group showed higher creativity scores than the control group, with the most striking increase in the aspects of originality and elaboration. In addition, the PjBL model also increased student learning motivation as well as collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The integration of technology in PjBL, such as the use of digital devices and online resources, had a positive impact on students' learning experiences. However, this study also found several obstacles in the implementation of PjBL, such as the need for teacher training, time management, and infrastructure support. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed to optimize the implementation of PjBL in secondary schools. Overall, the project-based learning model has proven to be effective in enhancing student creativity and is relevant to the demands of 21st century education.

Abstract

This phenomenological study investigates why entrepreneurially trained graduates choose employment rather than founding ventures in the Aceh higher-education context. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), we conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 alumni who completed entrepreneurship courses/competitions/incubation yet currently work as employees. Analysis generated five superordinate themes: (1) temporary competitive euphoria—competitions boost confidence, networks, and credentials but fade without aftercare; (2) stability rationality and risk aversion—employment is framed as pragmatic adaptation to income needs, market uncertainty, and family obligations; (3) campus-to-market ecosystem gaps—a “missing middle” between pitch events and real operations (financing, compliance, distribution); (4) hybrid career identity and skill transfer—entrepreneurial skills persist via intrapreneurship and low-risk side projects; and (5) temporal opportunity and momentum loss—post-graduation delays narrow windows and disperse teams. We conclude that employment is not an antithesis to entrepreneurship but a meaningful, risk-managing pathway within constrained ecosystems. Practical implications include building a curriculum-to-venture pipeline, staged evidence-gated funding, 6–12-month transition fellowships, one-door compliance/production clinics, anchor-demand partnerships, and formal intrapreneurship tracks. The study reframes the intention–behavior gap as employment-oriented adaptation and suggests longitudinal, multi-site research to test and refine this pathway.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the high customer turnover rate at Bank Mestika in North Sumatra, caused by the lack of relevant content marketing and the slow adaptation of trend product to the needs of modern customers. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of content marketing and trend product on customer loyalty and to identify the synergy between these two variables in forming emotional bonds and customer loyalty behavior. The techniques used include a questionnaire survey and purposive sampling of customers who have been active for at least two years. The data analysis method applies Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling to test the validity, reliability, path coefficient, effect size, and predictive relevance of the research model. The results show that content marketing partially and simultaneously has a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty with a moderate effect strength, as well as trend product that provide a similar contribution to customer loyalty. The model's explanatory value reaches a high level and its predictive relevance supports strategic decisions for Bank Mestika in designing integrated content marketing and trend product to strengthen customer loyalty.
