Abstract

Project-Based Learning Method is a real/complex world problem raised into a learning scenario (students can find their own or projects from industry), student-centered, solved by students in groups. The material studied in the Land and Water Resources Management course is a real-world problem, so the Project-Based Learning method is suitable to apply to this course. This study aims to analyze the material understanding and thinking skills of students using project-based learning methods in the Land and Water Resources Management Course. This type of research is an experiment with a post-test only control group design. The type of data collected is quantitative, namely an assessment of student work. The research was conducted for fifth semester students at the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Andalas University. The results of the learning outcomes of lecture participants with the TCL and PBL methods show that there are differences in several parameters that are assessed. The difference occurs in the aspects of planning (problem formulation), implementation (data completeness), implementation (data processing and analysis), and reporting of results (conclusions), with A symp value. Sig (2-tailed) <0.05. The Project-Based Learning (PBL) method can improve students’ understanding of material and thinking skills. This can be seen from the aspects in formulating problems and drawing conclusions. In PBL the final achievement is more accurate while TCL is still in the less precise category.
