The Effect of Project-Based Learning Model on Students' Creativity and Learning Outcomes in Sketch and Illustration Subjects

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on students' creativity and learning outcomes in sketch and illustration subjects at SMKN 2 Sampang. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group type. The research sample consisted of two class XI programs in Visual Communication Design expertise, namely the experimental class using the PjBL model and the control class using conventional learning methods. Data collection was conducted through learning achievement tests and student creativity questionnaires with indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Data analysis used statistical tests including normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests with SPSS assistance. The results showed that the application of the PjBL model had a positive effect on students' creativity and learning outcomes. The average creativity score of the experimental class increased from 65.45 to 85.00, while the control class increased from 63.80 to 72.20. Student learning outcomes also increased from 60.90 to 83.70 in the experimental class. Hypothesis testing showed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Thus, the PjBL model is effective in improving students' creativity and learning outcomes in vocational education in the field of visual communication design.
