“…Previous research mostly said that PBL was beneficial for students, such as enhancing their skills in team-working, creativity, and communication skills. Specifically, in the reading class said that PBL could improve their reading comprehension ability (Kavlu, 2015). However, there is still a lack of research perceptions of PBL in Indonesia, especially in the Critical reading class and collected data to determine if PBL has positive impacts on students learning in public colleges.…”

“…This study has a different focus from other previous research, so the findings are also different. For instance, Kavlu (2015) held a detailed study with one experimental and one control EFL learners' groups in Iraq. The study has a focus on reading comprehension, so the effect found from the findings was on the reading comprehension ability only.…”

“…For instance, a study conducted by Sultan and Javaid (2018) said it showed a positive attitude by applying PBL, and the students improved many life skills in Pakistani undergraduate students. Different studies have documented that there is a positive connection between the use of PBL and the reading comprehension skills of the undergraduate of EFL students in Iraq (Kavlu, 2015). This study uses a mixed-method research design to gauge the perceptions of the PBL among students in critical reading class.…”

Along with the increasing popularity of Project-Based Learning (PBL), teachers are aware of the benefits of PBL to implement it in their classroom. The literature has shown that the use of PBL can enhance students' skills, ability, and interest while learning because it focuses on students learning process than the teaching process. However, in a context in Indonesia, there is still a lack of research perceptions of PBL especially in the Critical reading class and collected data to determine if PBL has positive impacts on students learning in the university. The research is aimed at investigating students' perceptions about PBL by implementing a half-semester project in the Critical Reading class. This study employed a mixed-method that includes both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis by involving undergraduate students of the 4th semester who take a critical reading class in Universitas Sebelas Maret. It is expected to show us an example of PBL practice in critical reading class and how students thought about its implementation and improvement. This study provides a students' perceptions of PBL in critical reading class. The results add to the findings and discussion on what makes the method of teaching PBL more successful and have practical implications for classroom teaching.

“…Meanwhile, Wang (2016) applied PBL to enhance students' motivation using survey. In 2015, Kavlu (2015) found that there was a significant positive improvement in the class using PBL as the teaching method.…”

“…PBL offers many opportunities to promote language use and acquisition in real-life contexts because the basic premise of PBL is that learning begins with a problem presented in the same context as it will be encountered in real life (Kumaravadivelu, 2001). According to Ministry of Education and Culture, the benefits of PBL for the students are: (1) increasing their learning motivation and encouraging them to conduct an important work; (2) improving their ability to solve the problem; (3) making them more active and successful in solving complex problems; (4) improving collaboration; (5) encouraging them to develop and practice their communication skill; (6) improving their skill to manage the resources; (7) giving them experiences in learning and organizing the projects, especially in allocating the time and other resources to finish the projects; (8) providing learning experience for living in the real world; (9) activating them to implement their knowledge in the real world; and (10) making learning more interesting so that both students and the teacher enjoy the teaching and learning process.…”

Project-based learning (PBL) is used to make learning like acquisition so that it is more natural and interesting and the students are interested and motivated in learning English. The objective of the research is to develop a model for teaching English using PBL which is feasible to develop the students' four English skills. The research method used is Educational Research and Development by designing a prototype consisting of the following steps: determining basic questions, designing a project, making a schedule, conducting the project, monitoring the project, examining the results, and evaluating the experience. The prototype was tried out for teaching English to SMA students, the weaknesses were revised, it was tried out again and revised until it became a feasible model. The result of the research shows that the model is feasible for the teacher to teach English and for the students to study and develop their four English skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing). It implies that project-based learning can be used by the English teachers to teach English to develop the students' four English skills.

In the context of our rapidly digitizing society, computational thinking stands out as an essential attribute for cultivating aptitude and expertise. Through the prism of computational thinking, learners are more adeptly positioned to dissect and navigate real-world challenges, poising them effectively to meet the exigencies of future societal landscapes. The paradigm of project-based learning, heralded as a potent educational methodology, significantly amplifies students' prowess in computational thinking. To delineate the nuanced interplay between project-based learning and its augmentation of computational thinking, we engaged in meta-analytical investigations, synthesizing outcomes from 31 distinct external experimental and quasi-experimental studies. Our analytical journey underscored that project-based learning markedly elevates students' competencies across five critical spectra: innovation, collaboration, critical analysis, algorithmic cognition, and problem resolution. Dissecting its impact across the K12 continuum reveals that primary students predominantly hone their collaborative acumen; middle-grade learners witness a pronounced ascent in creativity, critical, and algorithmic faculties, while the apex of high school education primarily sharpens critical analytical prowess. Thus, educators sculpting the contours of project-based learning should be calibrate their strategies, ensuring they resonate with the developmental and age-specific nuances of their audience, to fully unleash its latent potential in nurturing computational thinking.
