Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study aims to describe the good practice of learning using the Project Based Learning model in elementary schools. This type of research is a continuous classroom action research using the C-NAR (Collaborative Nested Action Research) design. In practice, teachers make continuous improvements in learning and lecturers make continuous improvements in mentoring. The research procedure uses 4 steps following the DIOR pattern (Design, Implementation, Observation, & Reflection). There are 2 data collection techniques used, namely observation and 2-way conference (teachers and lecturers). The instruments used in the study were observation sheets and reflective journals. The data analysis technique uses qualitative data flow model analysis starting from data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the average effectiveness of using the Project Based Learning model in learning in elementary schools was 3.61 with the category of Very Effective. Based on this data, it can be concluded that the C-NAR design using the Project Based Learning model can improve learning processes and outcomes effectively in elementary schools.
