Quality education is the key to preparing superior human resources to face
the challenges of the 21st century. One effective approach is Project-Based Learning
(PjBL), which allows students to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and
collaboration in a learning context. This study aims to analyze the influence of
critical thinking skills, creativity, and collaboration abilities on learning outcomes
in the subject of land measurement concepts in Vocational High Schools (SMK) by
employing the PjBL method.
This research employs a quantitative method with an experimental study design.
The sample consists of 169 SMK students selected using simple random sampling techniques.
Data were collected through questionnaires to measure critical thinking skills,
creativity, and collaboration, as well as through tests on learning outcomes in
the subject of land measurement concepts. Data analysis was conducted using multiple
regression analysis to evaluate the influence of independent variables on the dependent
variable.
The results of the study show that creativity and collaboration abilities
have a significant positive influence on students' learning outcomes, while critical
thinking skills do not exhibit a significant effect. These findings highlight the
importance of developing creativity and collaboration in the learning process to
enhance learning outcomes. This research is expected to contribute to the development
of effective learning strategies in vocational schools.
