The Effect of the PJBL Model in Biology Learning on the Learning Outcomes of UPTD SMAN 1 Sarudu Students

The research seeks to elucidate the impact of the PJBL (project based learning) learning paradigm on student academic performance at UPTD SMA Negeri 1 Sarudu. This research utilizes a quantitative approach, specifically the quasi-experimental method. The population in this study comprises class X pupils, whereas the sample consists of students from classes Xa and Xb, utilizing a saturation sampling strategy. Data gathering methodologies include pretest and posttest inquiries throughout the first and final sessions. The research shows that the PJBL learning model has a big effect on how well students learn at UPTD SMA Negeri 1 Sarudu. There is a big difference between the experimental class that gets PJBL and the control class that doesn’t. The Mann-Whitney test revealed a score of 1,174 for the experimental class and 779 for the control class, with a significant value of 0.005, indicating acceptance of the hypothesis. Therefore, we concluded that the PJBL learning model had an influence on the biology learning outcomes of students at UPTD SMA Negeri 1 Sarudu.
