Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PBL) model on the creativity and learning outcomes of Indonesian Language students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang. A quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group approach was utilized. The study population consisted of Indonesian Language students, with two randomly selected classes serving as the sample. The experimental group was taught using the PBL model, while the control group employed conventional teaching methods. Data on creativity were collected using questionnaires, and learning outcomes were assessed through standardized tests.Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) via SPSS software. The results revealed that: (1) the PBL model significantly improved student creativity (F = 333.687, p < 0.05), (2) the PBL model had a significant positive effect on learning outcomes (F = 85.885, p < 0.05), and (3) there was a significant difference in creativity and learning outcomes between the PBL and conventional teaching groups.

The findings indicate that the PBL model fosters an active and engaging learning environment, encouraging students to solve problems creatively and collaboratively. This approach not only enhances creativity but also improves academic performance. Based on these results, it is recommended that educators adopt the PBL model to promote higher levels of creativity and learning outcomes. Further research is encouraged to explore its application in other disciplines.
