Abstract:

This study aims to explain the influence of the PjBL learning model, learning styles, and the interaction of the PjBL learning model with learning styles on learning outcomes. To achieve this goal, the following hypotheses are formulated: (1) The PjBL learning model affects learning outcomes; (2) Learning styles affect learning outcomes; (3) The interaction of the PjBL learning model with learning styles affects learning outcomes. This study was conducted at SMA 1 Ngadiluwih Kediri in the 2023/2024 academic year. The subjects used were two classes with 34 students in each class. The instruments used in this study were a cognitive aspect learning outcome test and a learning style questionnaire. The test instrument was a multiple choice test comprising 20 questions with five answer choices and an essay test comprising 3 questions. An interview and observation would be conducted if the learning style questionnaire scored similarly. This study used a Quasi Experiment with a 2 x 3 factorial design. The results of the analysis using two-way ANOVA showed that (1) the PjBL learning model had an effect on learning outcomes, (2) learning styles had an effect on learning outcomes, and (3) there is no influence of the interaction between the PjBL learning model and learning styles on learning outcomes. This study found that the PjBL learning model can train students to express ideas better with factual and contextual investigations, eliminate selfishness, and be willing to accept other people's ideas or opinions. There are differences in learning outcomes for students with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Students with an auditory learning style get better learning outcomes than groups with visual and kinesthetic learning styles. It is recommended that teachers use a variety of evaluation methods, such as portfolio assessments, project reports, and presentations, to measure learning outcomes holistically. For further researchers, it is recommended that the PjBL model be integrated with thinking techniques such as SCAMPER and TRIZ to develop 21st-century skills, namely creative thinking, collaboration, and critical thinking.
