Ecopreneurship-Oriented Project-Based Learning (PBL): An Approach to Enhance Students’ Problem-Solving Skill

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the enhancement of students’ problem-solving skills by implementing ecopreneurship-oriented Project-Based Learning (PBL). The type of this research is descriptive quantitative with True Experimental Methods and Control Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design, which is applied to 49 science-majored sophomore students in SMA Negeri 1 Mojosari, Mojokerto which are chosen by purposive sampling technique. The instruments of this research are problem-solving pre-test and post-test in which the result is analyzed using normalized gain test and the Mann-Whitney test. Based on the data analysis, the result obtained is that there is a significant difference between students’ problem-solving skills in the experimental class and the control class, where the experimental class’ n-gain score is 0.83 in high criteria whereas the control class’ is 0.53 in medium criteria. It can be concluded that ecopreneurship-oriented PBL model can enhance students’ problem-solving skill.
