Project Based Learning for General Education Course

Abstract

This study aims to identify the growth score and explore the satisfaction of the student on project-based learning. The target group for this study was the first-year students who enroll in the Answering questions with data course. The data was collected using a questionnaire containing information about the growth score and satisfaction on project-based learning and some open-ended questions. The results found that most of the students have a moderate level of growth score. However, it is revealed that the growth score was statistically different compared to before and after. Therefore, most students were satisfied with project-based learning. Moreover, the student points out that project-based learning benefits them, such as promoting relationships and teamwork, exchanging and fulfilling the knowledge to each other. However, on the other hand, project-based learning also points out some weaknesses: some group members took advantage and were irresponsible.
