PENGARUH PENERAPAN METODE PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS PROYEK (PROJECT-BASED LEARNING) TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR PAI SISWA

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) method on the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students at SMA Negeri 1 Jati Agung. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design on 72 grade XI students who were divided into experimental and control classes. The instruments were multiple-choice and essay tests that measured the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, with high reliability (α = 0.891). Data analysis used an independent t-test assisted by SPSS 26. The pretest results showed no significant difference between the two classes (p = 0.742). After eight weeks of treatment, the posttest results showed that the experimental class obtained significantly higher scores than the control class with a large effect size (d = 1.28). The increase in N-Gain of the experimental class was also higher than the control class. The study concluded that the implementation of PjBL effectively improved PAI learning outcomes and provided a more meaningful and authentic learning experience in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of students.
