The Effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning Model on Higher-Order Thinking Skills of Senior High Schools Students

Abstract

This research is intended to determine the effectiveness of the project-based learning model on higher-order thinking skills. This study problem is due to a lack of activity, and students are required only to memorize formulas; thus, students in the learning process frequently view mathematics as an uninteresting subject. This model aimed to enhance students’ capacity for higher-order thinking. This model aims to help improve students' higher-order thinking skills. The type of this research is quantitative research, Pre Experimental research design (One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design). The research data were analyzed utilizing descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings obtained the pretest average was 46, and the post-test average was 90.83. The N-Gain value was 0.70, which was considered high. Therefore, the project-based learning model effectively enhanced students' higher-order thinking skills.
