In India most of the classrooms are still teacher centered, where the students have to sit and listening to the teachers lecture. In emerging 21st century the student’s needs to develop skills like reasoning, problem-solving, creative, collaboration, critical thinking, communication etc., the study aimed to examine the Project Based Learning method in teaching high school students. The investigator adopted experimental method to study the PBL method in teaching high school students. For the study sample of 60 IX std students from schools situated in Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu was selected. The finding reveals that is inferred that there is a difference between PBL method of teaching and conventional teaching among High school’s students.

Project based learning is one method that guides pedagogical technology to interactive learning that includes to the preparation and presentation of projects. The contribution of project based learning has been widely acknowledged for the development of competence of learners. In Indonesia, the appropriate learning model in Curriculum 2013 is based on constructivist learning theory. In learning geography tends to be still centered on the teacher (teacher centered) so that learning does not run optimally. Project based learning using a virtual group is expected to provide solutions in generating meaningful and synchronous learning activities toward the curriculum 2013. This study aims to test the model of project based learning by using a virtual group on the results of learning geography of high school students. The subjects of this study were students of Class X Senior High School 1 Lumajang even semester of academic year 2016/2017 consisting 2 classes. The X-IIS 1 class is set as the experiment class and the X-IIS 2 class as the control class. This is because students in both classes have the same or equivalent abilities based on middle test scores. This research is a quasi experiment research with Non Equivalent Control Group Design design. Instrument assessment of learning outcomes using essay tests. Assessment results form data that are then analyzed using test-test with the help of SPSS 16.0 for Windows program. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant effect of project-based learning model using the virtual group to the students' geography learning outcomes. Based on pretest and posttest differences shows that the mean value of experimental class gainscore (45,63) is higher than control class (30,02). The result of data analysis using independent sample t test showed that project based learning model obtained probability value (p-level) smaller than 0.05 with sig 0,00. The conclusion in this study that the learning model of project-based learning using the virtual group on the results of learning geography of high school students.

Many countries have incorporated computational thinking (CT) and programming languages into their science and technology courses. Students can improve their CT ability by learning programming languages. Moreover, situated learning enables students to generate knowledge and master problem-solving skills through interaction with situations. This study incorporated Webduino learning and the situated learning strategy into a programming course and analyzed its impact on high school students’ CT ability, learning motivation, and course satisfaction. A quasi-experimental research method was adopted, wherein the experimental group was subjected to the situated learning strategy and the control group was subjected to a traditional teaching method. The study results revealed that integrating Webduino programming with situated learning could effectively improve five categories of CT skills; moreover, the activity models of situated learning enhanced the value and expectation dimensions of learning motivation. In addition, satisfaction with the course content and self-identity slightly improved. However, because teachers were required to elaborate on stories to promote learner engagement with life situations, the time available for programming was limited. Thus, no significant difference was observed in teaching satisfaction.

This study aims to explore the application of STEM-I (STEM-Imagination) project-based learning activities and its effects on the effectiveness, processes, and characteristics of STEM integrative knowledge learning and imagination development for female high school students. A total of 72 female high school students were divided into 18 teams. Students were provided with a place to discuss, share, and integrate learning activities. A questionnaire and focus group interviews were conducted for data collection. The results show that STEM-I project-based learning activities can promote the development of diverse abilities and effectively expand STEM knowledge integration and learning for female high school students as well as enhance their imagination in the project-based activities. Additionally, the STEM-I instructional model with the process of initiation, development, expression, alternative, and links (IDEAL) is confirmed. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for future studies on STEM education and imagination integrative instruction.

Conceptual understanding should have serious attention due to the low score of Physics subject on national examination in Palu. The difference between learning style and jigsaw strategy is able to combine abstract conceptualization and active experiment towards the conceptual understanding for students whose learning style is converger and diverger. The research design was quasi experiment. The sample is the eleventh class of Senior High School students in Palu that are chosen using cluster random sampling (multistage), that is, 167 students. The research instrument was Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) of conceptual understanding test on Physics (Tes Pemahaman Konsep Fisika or TPKF). The data was analyzed by using ANOVA, with the significant level is 5%. The result shows that: (1) cooperative learning strategy of jigsaw type has more benefits than direct learning strategy in conceptual understanding on Physics, (2) student group of which learning style was converger has higher conceptual understanding than that of which learning style was diverger, (3) there are interaction influence between learning strategy and learning style towards the conceptual understanding on Physics
