Effect of learning project model-based learning on GIS spatial thinking skills students

Abstract

Developing students in geographic information technologies is the main reason for describing things like models and approaches, which is based on classroom learning and focus on theories of teaching and learning technical. This research used quasi experimental True Experimental Design model with pretest-posttest control group design and 45 students of 12th grades of MAS AL ISLAM in academic year 2018/2019 as the population. Purposive sampling with initial data values First Final Assessment were used based on 12th grades Social 1 as the control class and Social 2 as the experimental class. In the control class, GIS learning is applied conventionally while the experimental class is applied Learning Project Based Learning Model-GIS. The data method were analyzed by SPSS 16 software through observation, documentation, and testing STAT (pretest and posttest) with quantitative data analysis techniques. The results showed that the Project Based Learning Model Learning-GIS affecting spatial thinking abilities 12th grades Social 1 students by tests Independent Samples T-test posttest score STAT students who demonstrate the significant value of 0.02 (<0.05). This is consistent with the study of theory about project-based learning model in GIS material as a model approach that is effective to increase the spatial analysis techniques.
