Efforts To Increase Students' Interest In Learning Chemistry Through The Application Of The Project Based Learning (PJBL) Learning Method On The Nature Of Chemical Science Materials)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is (1) to find out whether there is an increase in students' interest in learning chemistry through the application of project-based learning methods, (2) to find out how much increase in students' interest in learning chemistry through the application of project-based learning methods to the material nature of chemistry. This research design uses Pre-Experiment:– Group Pretest-Posttes. The population of this study was all students of class x, with a total of 35 samples. The research instrument in the form of observation sheets and questionnaire instruments amounted to 25 statements using a Likert scale, and the number of answer choices was a choice from never to always. The test requires analysis using the data before showing that the data is normally and evenly distributed. Hypothesis testing was carried out using a parametric test, namely the One Samples T-test, at a significance level of 0.05 with the help of the SPSS For Windows Version 22 program. The results of this study obtained t_count (122,978) > t_table (1,69092) and sig. 0.000 < 0.05. Based on data analysis and hypothesis testing, it is known that students' interest in learning chemistry increases through the application of project-based learning methods. Increasing students' interest in learning chemistry through applying project-based learning methods using gain testing with a score of 0.5 in the medium category.
