Students' Mini-Project Activities in Problem-Based Learning (PBL): A Performance Assessment on Energy Topics
Keywords:
Problem Based Learning (PBL), Performance Assessment, Energy Concept, 21st Century Skills, Problem Solving SkillsAbstract
This study aims to evaluate student performance in problem-based learning (PBL) to enhance 21st-century skills, particularly problem-solving skills related to energy. A pre-experimental design, specifically a one-shot case study, was conducted with 29 senior high school students (12 male and 17 female) in Surabaya, Indonesia. Student performance was assessed using an energy-themed project activity sheet, designed to guide students in addressing real-world problems through three stages: planning, implementation, and reporting. Student performance was evaluated using the Partial Credit Model-Rasch (PCM-Rasch) analysis based on ten aspects of performance assessment. The results indicate that students produced high-quality mini-projects aligned with the ten assessment aspects. Detailed evaluations of specific aspects are provided to guide further improvements in teaching and research. The findings from this study offer valuable insights into the student learning process within the PBL model
