Meta-Analysis: Project Based Learning Model on Student’s Mathematics Skills in Mathematics Learning

Abstract

Project Based Learning becomes an interesting analysis to be studied in Mathematics Learning. It is a fact that describes the situation that learning outcomes in the experimental group have a greater influence and are higher than the control group based on the effect size price obtained. This explains that the treatment in the experimental group with the Project Based Learning model has a more effective effect or provides higher learning outcomes than the control group. The research used Meta-Analysis study which the outcomes was measured by the value of effect size. With the results of the effect size in this study, we are able to see how effective Project Based Learning is by using the involvement of a comparison group, namely the control group in each sub-study, then the learning outcomes obtained are the effects or consequences of the treatment given to the experimental group. The research findings reveal that the overall average effect of Project Based Learning is 0.316. This figure means that the treatment of the Project Based Learning model in mathematics learning is able to improve student learning outcomes in the experimental group by 31.6% average more than the influence of the control group. This explains that mathematics learning using the Project Based Learning model is effective for use in the process of teaching and learning activities with a high effect size price category in any mathematics skills that had been tested in the research, thus the Project Based Learning model is able to influence students in mathematics learning to improve mathematics skills.
