Abstract
The study aims to analyze the effect of Project Based Learning on learning motivation, creativity, critical thinking, and learning outcomes of students in the concrete work practice course at UNP. The research method used a Quasi-Experiment (Semi-Experiment) with a pretest-posttest control group design. The results of the study obtained a p-value of 0.00 < 0.05 or tcount > ttable with a value of (9.29 > 1.70) for learning motivation, a p-value of 0.00 < 0.05 or tcount > ttable with a value of (5.36 > 1.70) on student creativity, p = 0.00 < 0.05 or tcount > ttable with a value of (6.49 > 1.70) on critical thinking, and p-value = 0.00 < 0.05 or tcount > ttable with a value of (5.06 > 1.70) and (6.44 > 1.70) on cognitive and psychomotor learning outcomes. Thus, it is concluded that there is an effect of the project-based learning model on learning motivation, creativity, critical thinking, and learning outcomes of students in the PTB class at the Faculty of Engineering, Padang State University, Academic Year 2024/2025.
