Project Based Learning (PLO) with a Bio-Entrepreneurship (BEP) Approach: Can it Improve Students' Science Literacy and Life Skills?

This research aims to analyze the PjBL model with the Bio-Entrepreneurship (BEP) approach to scientific literacy abilities and life skills. The method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest posttest non-equivalent control group research design. The sample for this research consisted of 71 students consisting of experimental classes and control classes, using a purposive sampling technique. The results of research on scientific literacy abilities show that the average N-Gain in the experimental class is 0.67 with medium criteria, while the control class average N-Gain is 0.28 with low criteria. The results of life skill abilities after being given treatment in the experimental class increased higher with an average of 78.63 compared to those in the control class with an average of 51.74. Thus, this research shows significant implications for students' abilities in developing real projects by combining aspects of entrepreneurship and biological concepts in everyday life.ABSTRAK: This study aims to analyze the PjBL model with a Bio-Entrepreneurship (BEP) approach to science literacy and life skills.
