The Effectiveness of Science Project Learning based on Entrepreneurship Model to Improve Elementary Students’ Collaborative Skills

Abstract

Collaborative skills are among four essential life skills that students need to master in the 21st century. The fifth-grader of elementary school students' low collaborative skills encourage the researcher to develop a science project learning model with an entrepreneurship model to improve these skills. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the learning model by implementing quasi-experiment, with one group pre-test and post-test design. Data analysis methods used were t-test, N-Gain analysis, and one-way analysis of variance (One Way Anova) to determine if there was an improvement after learning. The results of the analysis using the t-test showed a significant increase in pre- and post-test (p 0.05), with post-test values better than pre-test (negative t). The results of the N-Gain analysis showed the average increase in student scores in the high category (≥0.70), and the results of the analysis of the one-track variance showed no difference in each group (p 0.05). In general, the findings indicate that the learning model is effective in improving the collaborative skills of elementary school students.
