Project-Based Research Learning (PBRL) Integrated With E-Learning in Projects Completion

Abstract

Project-Based Research Learning (PBRL) is one of the learning models that stimulate students to be active and innovative in developing products. The purposes of this study were to determine 1) the influence of the PBRL integrated with e-learning on students' spatial thinking ability, 2) the influence of the PBRL integrated with e-learning on the students' ability to make disaster management projects, and 3) the influence of the PBRL integrated with e-learning on learning outcomes. The data analysis was used independent samples t-test from six essay questions and grading rubrics measurement. The results showed 1) a significant influence of the PBRL integrated with e-learning on students spatial thinking ability, 2) an influence of the PBRL integrated with e-learning on the students' ability to make disaster management projects, and 3) a significant influence of the PBRL integrated with e-learning on learning outcomes. The learning model is also effective as an alternative for distance learning.
