Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving the problem solving skills of fifth grade students of MIS Halwani, Gebang District. The research used a pseudo-experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research subjects were VA class students, totaling 20 people, who were selected using the total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Anova test to measure the effect of the application of the model on students' abilities. The results showed three main findings: (1) The PjBL model involves planning, implementation, and processing stages that are able to develop higher-order thinking skills; (2) Before the application of PjBL, only 20% of students were able to solve problem-solving-based problems, while the other 80% were unable; (3) After the application of PjBL, there was a significant increase in students' problem-solving abilities, as evidenced by the Anova test results with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and F count (17.898) > F table (2.019). Thus, PjBL is effective in improving students' problem solving skills.
