INOVASI PEMBELAJARAN ARITMATIKA SOSIAL DENGAN PENDEKATAN PROJECT-BASED LEARNING BERBASIS ASET SEKOLAH DAN INTEGRASI LINTAS PELAJARAN

Urban Farm DB summary

In Indonesia, a descriptive qualitative study using observation, interviews and documentation examined project-based learning (PjBL) that draws on school assets, including school gardens, to teach social arithmetic (profit-and-loss calculation). The learning project had students process garden produce into sellable products and analyze profit-and-loss calculations, incorporating cross-subject collaboration with Indonesian Language and Social Sciences (IPS). Implementing school-asset-based PjBL was found to increase student motivation, engagement, and understanding of social arithmetic concepts, but the study also identified challenges including time constraints in project management and students' difficulty understanding the concepts of profit and profit margin calculation.
