The quality of Social Studies instruction at SD Negeri 167 Maluku Tengah has been constrained by monotonous conventional methods, resulting in low student enthusiasm and subpar academic achievement. This empirical challenge necessitates an innovative, context-rich pedagogical intervention that actively engages learners. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving social studies learning motivation and cognitive outcomes among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 167 Maluku Tengah. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group design. The research subjects comprised 32 students divided into class IV A (17 students) as the experimental group and class IV B (15 students) as the control group, chosen via purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated 5-item essay cognitive achievement test and a 15-item Likert-scale learning motivation questionnaire. The results revealed that the PjBL model generated a substantial improvement, yielding an N-gain score of 0.8014 (80.14%) for learning motivation and 0.7337 (73.37%) for learning outcomes, both falling into the high category. Hypothesis testing via independent samples t-test revealed t_"count" =-7.388 for learning motivation and t_"count" =-4.304 for cognitive outcomes, both achieving statistical significance at p=0.000<0.05. Consequently, the Project-Based Learning model is empirically proven to be effective in concurrently elevating students' motivation and academic achievement in elementary social studies.
ABSTRAK
Kualitas pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS) di SD Negeri 167 Maluku Tengah masih terhambat oleh penerapan metode konvensional yang monoton, sehingga memicu rendahnya antusiasme dan ketuntasan belajar peserta didik. Kondisi empiris ini menuntut adanya intervensi model instruksional inovatif yang kontekstual dan berpusat pada keterlibatan aktif siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas implementasi model Project Based Learning (PjBL) dalam meningkatkan motivasi dan hasil belajar IPS pada siswa kelas IV SD Negeri 167 Maluku Tengah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan eksperimen semu (quasi-experimental design) melalui rancangan nonequivalent control group design. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 32 siswa yang terbagi ke dalam kelas IV A (17 siswa) sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan kelas IV B (15 siswa) sebagai kelompok kontrol yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan instrumen tes penguasaan konsep sebanyak 5 butir soal uraian terstandarisasi dan angket motivasi belajar berskala Likert 15 butir pernyataan yang telah teruji validitas serta reliabilitasnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model PjBL menghasilkan peningkatan motivasi belajar dengan skor N"-gain" sebesar 0,8014 (80,14%) dan hasil belajar dengan skor N"-gain" sebesar 0,7337 (73,37%), yang keduanya berada dalam kategori tinggi. Pengujian hipotesis melalui independent samples t-test pada kelompok data menghasilkan nilai t_"hitung" =-7,388 untuk motivasi belajar dan t_"hitung" =-4,304 untuk hasil belajar dengan taraf signifikansi p=0,000<0,05. Dengan demikian, disimpulkan bahwa model Project Based Learning terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan motivasi sekaligus hasil belajar IPS siswa sekolah dasar secara terpadu.
