Abstract

Project-based learning is seen as appropriate for 21st-century learning. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of lecturers and students on the application of project-based learning and reflective practice in physics learning in electricity courses. The research subjects consisted of 59 students and 6 lecturers in the physics education study program who took electricity courses. The research method uses a survey by distributing questionnaires. The results showed that students expressed their agreement that project-based learning could improve knowledge, understanding, and skills in physics, and could practice physics problem-solving skills and provide experience doing research. Respondents from lecturers showed positive perceptions of project-based learning, although they also stated that there were obstacles in implementing the project-based learning model, which required more time. In the open questionnaire, student respondents revealed some of the obstacles or weaknesses of project-based learning. The process of reflection is still not well conceptualized in learning, it can be seen that there are still perceptions that are not stable in the reflection activities carried out. Student respondents stated that reflection activities were still limited to verbal delivery at the end of the project or learning activities. There needs to be an effort to optimize reflective practice in learning so that it can improve students’ learning abilities and motivation. The implication of this research is the need to develop a project-based learning model by integrating it with reflective practice.
