  Teaching and learning processes can be effectively improved when the learning activities encounter an individual’s experience and interaction with their surrounding environments. Such interaction is highly significant throughout the learning process due to its role in enabling student participation and learning knowledge integration. This paper presents the option of teaching pedagogy for statistics teaching via project-based learning. This teaching method conduces cognitive development during the learning process by fostering active learning as it implements the application as opposed to the memorisation of statistical concepts. Therefore, a project was carried out with underpinned a common topic by all groups of students. The approach was incorporated in an undergraduate Statistical Methods class consisted of 34 business economics students in which they were to evaluate the learning process at the end of the course. Data collection consisted of closed-form and open-ended questions directed to the students for them to express their perceptions of project-based learning. The results showed that throughout the phases of project-based learning implementation, the students found that the processes of data presentation and analysis and research result discussion were challenging phases. They revealed the need for adjustment while carrying out a project, which was in line with the insight regarding the benefits and limitations faced by population. In particular, the aspect of limitations included the complexity of group work relationships and accessibility of resources applied in the project, while the benefit aspects are an increased level of student engagement in the learning process and their understanding of statistical concepts.

Project-based learning (PBL) has gained popularity in education recently. This teaching method provides opportunities for students to learn independently by doing group works in the form of a project. It is seen as a suitable method to teach EFL to replace the traditional ways of teaching. Thus, this case study explores the students' and teachers' experience implementing PBL in the EFL class. Three EFL classes from three different high schools in Indonesia were observed to explore this issue. Six students and three teachers were interviewed to confirm the observation’s result and determine their perception of learning using PBL. The findings show that the class situation improved positively after implementing PBL. Furthermore, PBL was well perceived by both students and teachers. The teaching and learning process went smoothly and well-controlled. The students and teachers show positive perceptions toward PBL in EFL classes. However, some negative points of PBL were also pointed out. Thus, educational sectors may use this study's results to improve the educational quality, specifically for EFL classes.

The implementation of the learning process in Vocational High Schools have different characteristics from the implementation of learning in Senior High Schools. Vocational high school teachers must be able to develop learning models that can produce aspects of work skills. One of the most critical problems in teaching and learning English at Vocational High School is teachers’ unwillingness and less creativity to find ways to make learning more creative and fun. To find out what extent students understand about the material that has been taught in the teaching and learning process, the teachers must give assignments to the students. The assignments can be done with the model Project-Based Learning. The aim of this study was to investigate how teachers’ perception about project-based learning. This research conducted in descriptive qualitative design which involved three vocational high school English teachers in Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province as respondents. This research used semi-structured interview as an instrument to collect the data. The result of the analysis showed that teachers have positive perception toward project-based learning. The conclusion can be drawn that project-based learning was needed to do by the teachers in EFL classroom as one of the models in teaching and learning process because its focus on student-centered.Keywords: Project-Based Learning, Teachers’ Perception, and Vocational High School.How to cite (APA Style): Sari, R., Musthafa,B., Yusuf, F.N.

Project-based learning offers an engaging instructional method to make learners active constructors of knowledge. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of learning in two project-based learning of construction through model making in architecture using a case study and by designing. Model making is an innovative and time-consuming approach in teaching construction as this approach rely heavily on student-teacher partnership mimicking the studio learning. Learning construction through model making needs students to take an active role and to be ‘in-charge' of their learning and learning process. The study employs a survey to 78 participants of undergraduate architecture students. The results of this study demonstrated architecture students learn construction effectively using the model making method. This project-based learning allows students to have construction knowledge to consider buildability in their architecture design studio. The result can be used to improve teaching and learning of construction in architectural education.

Under the current circumstances of foreign academic degree students in University of Science and Technology Liaoning (the foreign academic degree students come from different countries and have different foundations, different languages and different learning habits), based on the PBL theory, this work has proposed the teaching-method reformation of foreign degree students, which is combining the group study and assignment-oriented study together to reinforce students' learning process, and to improve the teaching effect. There are five steps in teaching-method reformation: questions prepared by instructors, references researching, group communication and study, in- class discussion and teacher's evaluation and summary. It is conducive to the rational allocation of the proportion of “teaching” and “learning”, promoting students' active learning. The methodology would help improve the quality of the teachers and evoke self-esteem and self-confidence of the students, stimulate their enterprising spirit.
