Abstract

This research aims to know the process of the project-based learning (PjBL) model in increasing students"™ creativity in making English greeting cards and) to understand the changes in students' behavior/attitudes after learning through the PjBL model. The research method used is action research, and the research participants were 11 students of class VIIIF SMP Negeri 17 Pontianak. The data were collected using observation sheets and tests. The obtained data are analyzed using a normality test (Kolmogorov Smirnov), homogeneity test (Levene test), and one sample T-Test. The results indicate several points. First, the process of increasing creativity using the PjBL model in making English greeting cards includes six steps; (a) Determining basic questions, (b) Designing project plans, (c) Preparing schedules, (d) Monitoring students and the project progress, (e) Testing results, (f) Evaluating students"™ experiences. Second, the calculation results show that 0.200 is greater than the significance value of 0.05, which means that the data is normally distributed with the significance value is 0.209, which is greater than the 0.05 significance. This value shows that the variance of each sample is homogeneous with a significant value of 0.030, which is smaller than 0.05. Third, there were changes in the students"™ behavior in which students who were originally quite active became active. The average assessment of the Pancasila student profile on the creative dimensions integrated into the project of creating greeting cards on the content/text aspect is 3.27, and design is 3.09, the picture is 2.91, and goals is 2.82.
