Analysis of the Effectiveness of Project Based Learning Model in Mathematics Learning: Viewed from LearningActivities

Abstract

The purpose of this study to determine how the effectiveness of learning mathematics using a model project based learning: viewed from learning activities. The project based learning model is a model that encourages students to become more active in the classroom and able to apply the lessons learned so far in daily life. This research is a quantitative descriptive research, and its data collection is obtained by measurement using observation guide sheet. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling with the draw system and sampling size usingNomogram Harry King, with error rate of 6%. The result of the research shows that there are four domain: Listening Activities, Writing Activities, Drawing Activities, Mental Activities which have percentages above 80%. So the more students are active, the more effective the model of project based learning in learning mathematics. Benefits of this research is as an input model that is effective, appropriate and appropriate for use in learning and learning mathematics, insight in teaching, and as a reference material or reference especially to other authors who will examine the relevant issues.
