Quasi-experimental design shows enhanced self-regulated learning in students using project based learning, indicating its effectiveness over conventional methods.
Key Points
Project based learning significantly improves self-regulated learning in students compared to conventional methods.
The average N-gain for self-regulated learning was 0.23 for the PjBL class versus 0.16 for the control class.
Data were analyzed using a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest assessments on two VIII grade classes.
Implementing project based learning in the curriculum may enhance students' ability to self-regulate their learning.
