Abstract

This study aimed to improve seventh-grade students' ability to write procedural texts through the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the model of Kemmis and McTaggart, consisting of two cycles: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants were 30 seventh-grade students at a junior high school. Data were collected through writing tests, classroom observations, interviews, field notes, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics by calculating the students' mean scores and the percentage of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM), while qualitative data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' writing ability throughout the research. The mean score increased from 61.83 in the pre-test to 72.47 in Cycle I and 82.93 in Cycle II. Likewise, the percentage of students achieving the KKM increased from 26.67% in the pre-test to 63.33% in Cycle I and 86.67% in Cycle II. The qualitative findings also indicated that students became more active, motivated, collaborative, and confident during the learning process. They demonstrated better understanding of the generic structure and language features of procedural texts and were more engaged in planning, drafting, revising, and presenting their writing projects. The study concludes that the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model effectively improves seventh-grade students' ability to write procedural texts while simultaneously enhancing their classroom participation and learning motivation. Therefore, Project Based Learning is recommended as an effective student-centered instructional model for teaching writing, particularly procedural texts, in junior high schools.

Abstract

Article writing competence has become an essential academic skill for university students because it supports scientific communication and publication. However, many students continued to experience difficulties in organising ideas, developing coherent arguments, and producing academic articles that met scholarly standards. Previous studies primarily examined the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in science and general language education, while empirical evidence regarding its application in university article writing courses remained limited. Therefore, this study investigated students' learning outcomes following the implementation of the Project-Based Learning model in an Article Writing course.This study employed a quantitative descriptive research design involving 33 sixth-semester students enrolled in the Indonesian Language Education Study Programme. The participants were selected using total sampling. Data were collected through documentation of students' academic achievement, including quiz scores, assignments, practical activities, midterm examination, final examination, and final course grades. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including minimum and maximum scores, mean scores, frequency distributions, and percentage analysis.The findings revealed that students achieved satisfactory learning outcomes after the implementation of Project-Based Learning. Most participants obtained excellent academic performance, with 81.82% receiving Grade A, 15.15% obtaining Grade B, and only 3.03% receiving Grade D. The mean final score indicated that students successfully achieved the expected learning outcomes in the Article Writing course. The implementation of Project-Based Learning also promoted active participation, collaborative learning, independent inquiry, and systematic engagement throughout the academic writing process.The findings suggested that Project-Based Learning provided an effective instructional approach for supporting article writing instruction in higher education. This study contributed empirical evidence supporting the integration of project-based instructional strategies into academic writing courses to enhance students' learning achievement and engagement.

Abstract

Mathematics learning outcomes among junior high school students remain a concern, particularly in understanding the concept of numbers and applying numerical operations in problem-solving situations. Students often experience difficulties in connecting mathematical concepts with contextual problems due to learning activities that are less focused on active exploration and problem-solving. Therefore, this study was conducted to address the need for an instructional approach that could improve students’ understanding and achievement in mathematics learning, particularly on the topic of numbers. This study aimed to describe the improvement of Grade VII students’ mathematics learning outcomes through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning model. The study employed a Classroom Action Research design involving 30 Grade VII students. Data were collected through learning outcome assessments consisting of quizzes and assignments after the learning activities. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis to determine students’ achievement and learning mastery. The results showed that the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning model supported students’ mathematics learning outcomes on the topic of numbers. Students achieved an average final score of 81.82, and 28 students (93.33%) reached the Minimum Mastery Criterion. Furthermore, students demonstrated consistent performance in understanding number concepts, performing numerical operations, and solving mathematical problems. These findings indicated that Problem-Based Learning provided meaningful learning experiences that encouraged students to actively participate, explore mathematical concepts, and develop problem-solving skills. This study implied that Problem-Based Learning could be applied as an alternative instructional strategy to improve mathematics learning outcomes at the junior high school level.
