Module Development through Project-Based Learning to Enhance Students’ Creative Thinking

Abstract

In implementing the project-based learning model, students are expected to improve their creative thinking. This research aims to develop a module through project-based learning to improve the creative thinking skills of vocational students. Employing a research and development design, the research involves a 4-D model with four stages, namely defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. Respondents in this study were teachers and students at SMKN 1 Grati, Pasuruan Regency, totaling 13 people. The research was carried out during the period August 1 – September 15, 2021. The results showed that the average value of the validation results for PjBL-based modules was 88.3% (very valid), and lesson plans were 80.3 (valid). Then, the average percentage of teachers’ responses to the modules that have been developed was 85% (very practical,) and of students’ responses was 78% (practical). Therefore, it can be concluded that the PjBL-based learning module developed in the research can be categorized as valid and practical.

Designs of Developing Teaching Materials Based on Project-Based Learning: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Project-based learning can be integrated into learning through the use of PJBL-based teaching materials. In several studies, it is explained that PjBL-based teaching materials can be developed using 4D development design with the Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate stages (Putra et al, 2023;Nabila & Kamaludin, 2023;Praptama et al, 2023;Usmeldi & Amini, 2022;pursitasari, et al, 2021;Zahro & Mitarlis, 2021;Purwaningsih et al, 2020;Syah et al, 2019). PjBL-based teaching materials developed using 4D design obtain good validity, practicality, and effectiveness results.…”
