Comparing project-based learning and problem-based learning to foster 21st-century learning skills in agricultural seaweed product

Abstract

This study examined the effect of 1) learning strategy [project-based learning (PjBL) and problem-based learning (PBL)] on the ability of seaweed product diversification; 2) 21st-century learning skills [critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity (4Cs)] on the ability of seaweed product diversification; and 3) the interaction between PjBL, PBL and 4Cs on the ability of seaweed product diversification. This study was a quasi-experiment with a 2 × 4 factorial design, namely two learning strategies (PjBL and PBL) × four types of 21st-century learning skills. The research subjects were college students of a public university (n = 70). Data were analysed using the two-way analysis of variance. The results indicated that (1) there were significant differences in students’ ability to diversify seaweed between groups which were taught with PjBL and the one with PBL, (2) there were differences in the ability of students’ to diversify seaweed between the ones in the groups with different 21st-century learning skills and (3) there was an interaction between learning strategies and 21st-century learning skills towards the ability to diversify seaweed products. This study indicates that the implementation of PjBL brings a better effect compared to the implementation of PBL in fostering 21st-century learning skill.
 
 Keywords: Project-based learning; problem-based learning; 21st-century learning skills.

Pentingnya Manajemen Pembelajaran Critical Thingking Skill Pada Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (Smk)

“…Menurut Sulaeman (2016), PjBL merupakan suatu pembelajaran berbasis proyek, dimana siswa ditugaskan mengembangkan topik pembelajaran melalui kegiatan proyek yang realistik (Sari et al, 2019). PjBL dalam proses belajar mengajar memiliki peranan penting untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kemandirian siswa dimana siswa difasilitasi dengan situasi belajar yang nyata sehingga pengetahuan yang diperoleh bersifat permanen (Rais et al, 2021). Beberapa artikel penelitain menunjukkan bahwa PjBL memiliki peran dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa.…”

Identification of Project Based Learning and STEM PjBL Innovation Based on Socio Scientific Issues as an Effort to Improve Students' Scientific Literacy

“…The learning model is a success factor for students to absorb the knowledge provided by a teacher. One such learning model is project-based learning (PjBL), which is a constructivist pedagogical practice and a learner-centred teaching technique (Dag & Durdu, 2017;Barlenti et al, 2017;Mursid et al, 2022;Rais et al, 2021). PjBL is an appropriate learning model, which can shape scientific, social and higher-order thinking behaviors (Chimbi & Jita, 2021;Putri et al, 2021;Santyasa et al, 2020).…”

Profile of Students’ Scientific Attitudes Through Practicum Activities Using Student E-Worksheet Based Chemicals at Home

“…State 21st-century education requires students to have skills including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication (Rais, Yahya, Jamaluddin, & Purnamawati, 2021). These skills can be achieved if the students have scientific skills and scientific attitude.…”
