Abstract

The current changes in learning activities that support online learning have brought new challenges. One of these challenges is achieving learning objectives such as students’ understanding and critical thinking as part of their academic skills. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) methods on the Information Technology and Computer Programming subject. Furthermore, Project-Based Semester Learning Plan (SLP) has been developed and implemented on this subject since September 2021. There are two indicators used to evaluate the implementation of Project-Based learning on this subject: student perception and the achievement of learning outcomes that imply in the distribution of assignment scores. Online questionnaires are shared with the thirty-two students who enrolled in this class to see students’ perceptions. The result shows that PBL method has a significant impact on increasing students’ understanding of Ms. Excel application use for data processing. In addition, there are three top skill advancements experienced by students during PBL, namely: communication skills, data processing and technological skills, and teamwork. However, the most preferred learning method chosen by the students is direct explanation by the lecturer using zoom (teacher-centred learning). While only one fifth of the students preferred project-based learning as the best learning method. Regarding the distribution of assignment scores and the achievement of learning outcomes, this study also found that all students have high scores, ranging between 75 to 100.
