Analisis Komparatif Problem Based Learning dan Project Based Learning terhadap Kemandirian Belajar Peserta Didik pada Pembelajaran PJOK

This study aimed to compare the effects of Problem Based Learning and Project Based Learning on students' learning independence in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK). A quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest comparison group design was employed. The study involved 64 students of MAN 3 Tasikmalaya selected through purposive sampling and assigned to the Problem Based Learning and Project Based Learning groups. Data were collected using a validated and reliable learning independence questionnaire. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, paired samples t-test, and independent samples t-test. The findings revealed that both learning models improved students' learning independence; however, Problem Based Learning demonstrated a greater effect than Project Based Learning. These findings indicate that problem-based instruction is more effective in fostering independent learning through problem-solving, decision-making, and reflective learning activities. Therefore, Problem Based Learning can be recommended as an alternative instructional model to enhance students' learning independence in PJOK.
