PENGARUH MODEL PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PjBL) TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR PESERTA DIDIK PADA PEMBELAJARAN TEMATIK DI MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH

The selection of appropriate learning models significantly influences student learning outcomes, especially in thematic learning. This research focuses on the application of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model to improve learning outcomes for third-grade students at MIN 4 Tabalong. The background of this research is based on the observation that conventional teacher-centered learning models during the pandemic led to lower student engagement and academic performance. A quantitative approach was employed, using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 24 students. Data were collected through pretests and posttests, analyzing the effect of the PjBL model on student outcomes. The results showed a significant improvement in students' learning outcomes after the application of the PjBL model. The pretest results indicated that 45.83% of students were classified as “very good,” and the posttest results showed 100% of students in this category. The Wilcoxon test further confirmed that the PjBL model had a significant positive impact on students’ learning outcomes (p = 0.000 < 0.05).
