The Effectiveness of Project-based Learning Model using Circuit Maker Media Simulator on the Topic of Power Amplifier Circuits

The aim of this study is to describe the effectiveness of project-based learning model using circuit maker media simulator on the topic of power amplifier circuits. This research used pre-experiment with The One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The results showed the effectiveness of the project-based learning model in the normality test using Chi-square that the learning achievement scores from the test items in both pretest and posttest were normally distributed with X2 count = 0.142. F-test results also showed that the learning achievement between the pretest and the posttest had a homogeneity value with Fcount = 0.213. Testing the hypothesis was with a significance level of 5%, then tcount = 10.987 was obtained. These obtained results showed that the effectiveness of the project-based learning model was in a good category. The activities with a degree of ability to use also obtained a good average score. To conclude, there is a significant difference in the learning achievement between the experimental group and the control group of the Electronic Engineering Education study program in the project-based learning
