The project idea is to create a management model of student project activity in a particular University based on empirical research of universities that implement student project activities and analysis of accumulated theoretical data. The purpose of the master’s thesis is to form a management model of student project activities at the State Humanitarian University of technology. The developed model is based on the empirical experience of implementing student project activities in both domestic and foreign universities, as well as the results of a pre-project study that analyzed potential stakeholders. The main elements of the management model are: the formation of a digital project platform, the formation of a motivation system for students and teachers, the creation of a new structural division of the University-the project office and the criteria for evaluating the planned activities. The results of the work are: a management model of student project activities at the State Humanitarian University of technology.

Creativity is important in the 21st century and the ASEAN economic community era. Used materials are infrequently used, especially as a learning media. This research aims to investigate the effect of used materials usage on Project Based Learning towards students' creativity. This research is experimental research with a quasi-experimental design, i.e. nonequivalent control group design. Samples were taken randomly (n = 70). Data was taken from tests and observations. Based on the results of data analysis by different test there are differences in students' creativity in both groups. The difference of students' creativity shows that the improvement of students' creativity in the experimental class which applied the Project Based Learning is higher than in the control class. This shows that Project Based Learning has an effect on students' creativity in used materials usage. Learning activities with Project Based Learning is recommended by utilizing used material to improve students' creativity.

“…The main emphasis of project-based learning is engaging students in authentic situation and meaningful learning situations (Chaichompoo, 2013). In project-based learning, students learn knowledge and elements of the core curriculum, but also apply what they know to solve authentic problems and produce relevant results (Creghan & Adair-Creghan, 2015). In the course of the project, students were engaged in diverse knowledge process such as asking and refining questions, debating ideas, making predictions, designing plans and/or experiments, collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, communicating their ideas and findings to others, asking new questions, and creating artifacts (Creghan & Adair-Creghan, 2015;Markham, 2011).…”

Meanwhile, project-based learning emphasizes learning activities that are student-centered and interdisciplinary (Creghan & Adair-Creghan, 2015;Markham, 2011). The main emphasis of project-based learning is engaging students in authentic situation and meaningful learning situations (Chaichompoo, 2013).…”

Enhancing 21 st century learning skills becomes the utmost importance in the contemporary education world. In Malaysia, the rising number of unemployment among Malaysian university graduates is associated to the lack of 21 st century skills and it is imperative to find a pedagogical approach that could enhance these skills. This study examines how Multiliteracies Project Approach (MPA) enhances 21 st century skills among Malaysian university graduates. It is a qualitative study that was conducted at a public university in Nilai, Malaysia, involving 50 students enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL) course. Data was collected using qualitative tools such as observation, semi-structured interviews and reflective journals. Data was then analyzed using a thematic analysis method. The findings of the study showed that MPA promotes the development of collaborative, technological and critical thinking skills among students. MPA provided students the chance to practice working effectively in in a network of people to achieve a mutual goal. Findings also showed that students acquired new skills when learning using MPA, including technological skills and critical thinking skills which were significant in 21 st century employment. The findings suggest that Multiliteracies Project Approach can provide a significant pedagogical implication.
