The Effect of Project Based Learning Model on Literacy and Numeracy Skills of Grade Five Students at Pineleng Public Elementary School

Abstract

This research aims to analyse whether there is an effect of Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on Literacy and Numeracy skills of grade five students at Pineleng Public Elementary School. This type of research is quantitative with True Experimental Design in the form of Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The samples taken were 22 VA class students as the experimental class and 22 VB class students as the control class. Data collection techniques using tests and non-tests then the data obtained were analysed using hypothesis test I and hypothesis test II using the t test. The results of the research obtained the average posttest value of the experimental class is higher, namely in class VA of 88.18 for Literacy scores and 86.13 for Numeracy scores while the average posttest value of the control class is in class VB of 82.72 for Literacy scores and 82.04 for Numeracy scores. Based on the data analysis, the findings of this research indicate that the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model is effective on students' Literacy and Numeracy skills on the material of writing invitation letters in Indonesian language lessons and Building Space material in mathematics lessons in grade five Pineleng Elementary School.Based on the findings of this research, the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model should be applied and can create an active and innovative learning process.
