The Influence of Project-Based Learning (PJBL) Model on Spatial Thinking Ability in Class SMA PGRI 2 Palembang

Salah satu tujuan belajar geografi adalah emberikan kemampuan berpikir spasial kepada siswa. Namun berdasarkan observasi di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir spasial siswa belum menunjukkan hasil yang maksimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh model pembelajaran Project Based Learning (PJBL) terhadap kemampuan berpikir spasial pada mata pelajaran geografi kelas X di SMA PGRI 2 Palembang. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh Project Based Learning (PJBL) terhadap kemampuan berpikir spasial maka peneliti menggunakan metode Eksperimen. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data dan pembahasan mengenai pengaruh model pembelajaran Project Based Learning (PJBL) terhadap kemampuan berpikir spasial pada mata pelajaran geografi kelas X di SMA PGRI 2 Palembang dapat disimpulkan bahwa, hasil analisis data rata-rata hasil tes kemampuan berpikir spasial siswa kelas eksperimen sebesar 76,02 sedangkan  kelas kontrol rata-rata sebesar 61,72. Berdasarkan hasil uji-t diperoleh thitung = 8,43 kemudian dibandingkan dengan ttabel = 1,66, maka thitung> ttabel yaitu 8,43 >1,66. Hasil ini membuktikan bahwa ada pengaruh yang signifikan antara model pembelajaran Project Based Learning (PJBL) terhadap kemampuan berpikir spasial pada mata pelajaran geografi kelas X di SMA PGRI 2 Palembang.One of the goals of learning geography is to give students the ability to think spatially. But based on observations in the field, it shows that students' spatial thinking skills have not shown maximum results. This study aims to determine the effect of the Project Based Learning (PJBL) learning model on spatial thinking skills in class X geography subjects at SMA PGRI 2 Palembang. To determine the effect of Project Based Learning (PJBL) on spatial thinking skills, the researcher used the Experimental method.                Based on the results of data analysis and discussion on the effect of Project Based Learning (PJBL) learning models on spatial thinking skills in class X geography subjects at SMA PGRI 2 Palembang, it can be concluded that the results of the average data analysis results of the students' experimental class spatial thinking test 76.02 while the control class averages 61.72. Based on the results of the t-test obtained thitung = 8.43 then compared with ttable = 1.66, then tcount> ttable is 8.43> 1.66. These results prove that there is a significant influence between the Project Based Learning (PJBL) learning model on spatial thinking skills in class X geography subjects at SMA PGRI 2 Palembang
