PENERAPAN PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PjBL) PADA PEMBELAJARAN MAKRAME UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KREATIVITAS SISWA KELAS V SDN 1 CIDADAP

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in macrame learning to enhance the creativity of fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Cidadap, Sukabumi Regency. One of the primary causes of low student creativity is the conventional, imitation-based approach in learning strategies, which limits students' opportunity to explore original ideas. To address this issue, this Classroom Action Research (CAR) was undertaken with the aim of improving student creativity through the implementation of the PjBL model. The research was executed in two cycles, each consisting of the phases of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, with one meeting held in each cycle. Before the implementation of this method, students' creativity levels were considered low, with only 35.00% of students achieving the creative category. Following completion of the first cycle, the percentage increased to 60.00%. Following evaluation and improvements in the second cycle, the results increased significantly to 90.00%, surpassing the minimum target of 75%. These results indicate that the PjBL model has the potential to positively impact student creativity across all four indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration, enabling students to participate actively, creatively, and directly in the macrame project
