Project-based Learning Design: Developing Maritime Context-based Tasks in English for Mathematics Course

Abstract

This research addresses analysis concerning and learning design of project-based learning (PjBL): how standardized PjBL implementation for student-centered learning supports the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka policy and how PjBL design for the learning process of English for Mathematics Course. Literature reviews addressing policies in PjBL were examined to determine what and how the project of English for Mathematics Course. Results show that implementing PjBL in the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka policy needs systematic students’ collaboration to work on the project through a structured process with the lecturer’s guidance and assessment process. Then, the form of this learning activity carried out in one semester of the English Mathematics course of the academic year 2022/2023 is designed to do a project of developing PISA-like problems with maritime context-based. This course learning method has resulted in some blocks of activities: first, students define problems, then design a project, schedule a series of activities to finish the project, active discussion with feedback from lecturer and peer in redesigning the group project, and evaluation.
