Abstract

This research aims to produce a project learning model on the theme of renewable energy with a place-based education framework and assess its effectiveness in increasing students^ creativity and environmental awareness. The method used was quasi-experimental with Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The research sample consisted of 35 students of SMPN 19 Bogor City as the control class and 39 students of Sekolah Alam Bogor, who were randomly selected from the available population. The instruments used were creative thinking skills test questions, environmental awareness questionnaires, learning observation formats, as well as student, teacher and community response questionnaires to learning. The instruments have been tested and have been tested with 30 respondents. The results showed that project learning on renewable energy material based on PjBL-PBE syntax by inserting communication/questioning/discussion steps with the source of the problem/solution maker was very implementable. Learning shows high effectiveness as indicated by an increase in creative thinking scores with an N-Gain of 56.18% in the experimental class, higher than the N-Gain in the control class. Environmental awareness also improved, with a score of 13.62% in the control class and 67.15% in the experimental class (good category). Student, parent and community responses to the learning reached 91.60% (excellent category), indicating strong support for the method.
