The Effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning Model on Learning Activeness in Civics Education Learning for Elementary and Islamic Elementary School Students
Keywords:
Civic education, collaborative, critical thinking, learning activeness, project-based learningAbstract
This study aims to improve students’ learning activeness in the subject of Civic Education (Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan) through the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model. The background of this study stems from the low level of student participation in the learning process, which has been predominantly teacher-centered, causing students to be passive and merely receive information without active engagement in learning activities. The research method used is a qualitative method with a library research approach. The results of the study show a significant increase in students’ learning activeness after the implementation of the PjBL model. Students became more enthusiastic, actively engaged in discussions, expressed opinions, and participated in project activities that required group collaboration. In addition, the PjBL model was proven to enhance students’ critical thinking, responsibility, and social skills. Based on the reflection results, obstacles found in the first cycle, such as a lack of cooperation and participation, were overcome in the second cycle through the use of supporting media and the formation of heterogeneous groups. Thus, the implementation of Project Based Learning is effective in increasing students’ activeness and learning outcomes in Civic Education, while also fostering character development and 21st-century skills
