IMPLEMENTASI MODEL PROJECT BASED LEARNING DENGAN MEDIA FISHBONE UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MENULIS TEKS TANGGAPAN SISWA KELAS VII

Abstract

This research stemmed from students’ limited proficiency in composing response texts, especially in generating ideas, structuring content, and using appropriate language, which was associated with traditional teaching approaches and minimal application of visual aids. To overcome these challenges, the Project Based Learning model supported by Fishbone media was implemented. The study aimed to describe its application, examine students’ reactions, and evaluate learning outcomes. A mixed-method approach with a Sequential Exploratory design was applied to 26 seventh-grade learners at MTs Az-Zahra. Data were obtained through observation, surveys, tests, and documentation. The findings revealed substantial progress, with average scores increasing from 53 (pretest) to 85 (posttest), and an N-Gain of 0.73 categorized as moderately effective. These results demonstrate that PjBL combined with Fishbone media effectively improves students’ writing abilities and critical thinking skills.
