The Effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Implementation Using Video Media on Student Motivation and Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This research was motivated by low student motivation and learning outcomes in the Culinary Basics course at SMKN 6 Padang. Conventional learning models such as lectures and PowerPoint presentations are considered incapable of generating student enthusiasm and engagement in practice-based learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model combined with video media in improving student motivation and learning outcomes in this subject. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design. Data collection used two main instruments: a learning outcome test to measure cognitive and psychomotor aspects, and a learning motivation questionnaire to measure students' affective factors. These instruments were tested for validity and reliability before use. Data were collected from two classes: an experimental class using PjBL with video media and a control class using the lecture method with PowerPoint. The results of data analysis showed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Students learning using the video-assisted PjBL model showed greater improvements in learning motivation and learning outcomes. The significance value obtained from the statistical test was below 0.05, indicating that the use of the video-based PjBL model was proven effective in improving the quality of culinary practical learning in vocational schools. Therefore, the implementation of video-assisted PjBL can be an innovative and engaging alternative learning strategy in vocational schools.
