The Effect of Project Based Learning Towards Student Achievement in Electrical Machines and Energy Conversion Subject

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to reveal the project-based learning model with conventional learning models of student learning outcomes. This type of research was quasi experimental research design. Quasi experiments used post-test only design with two random groups for experimental and control classes. The sample in this research was 64 students. The instrument used to measure student learning outcomes is a multiple choice objective test with five option. Data were analyzed using t test. The results of data analysis showed that there were significant differences in the learning outcomes of Electrical Machine and Conversion Energy subjects that were significant between students in the experimental class taught using the project based learning learning model for students in the control class taught by conventional learning models. The average value of experimental class is 82 is higher than the average control class is 73. Based on the above two learning activities, it can be concluded that using the project based learning model further improves students learning outcomes in Electrical Machine and Conversion Energy subjects compared with conventional methods of learning.
