Meta Analisis Model Project Based Learning Terhadap Kemandirian Belajar Dan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa Sekolah Dasar

The learning model in the Independent Curriculum adopts various learning models, one of which is Project-Based Learning (PjBL), emphasizing project-based learning. However, the reality is that students' achievement in self-directed learning and critical thinking skills is still considered low. Therefore, it is hoped that the implementation of the PjBL learning model can enhance students' self-directed learning and critical thinking skills in education. Hence, this research aims to assess the impact of PjBL on students' self-directed learning and critical thinking skills. Through a descriptive research method, an analysis was conducted on 20 similar journals to evaluate the effects of implementing PjBL on students' self-directed learning and critical thinking skills. The analysis revealed an effect size value of 1.063, as per Cohen's interpretation table, confirming that the Project-Based Learning Model significantly influences the enhancement of students' self-directed learning and critical thinking skills in elementary school.
