COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECT LEARNING MODEL TO PROMOTE 21st CENTURY LEARNING SKILLS FOR APPLIED BIOLOGY STUDENTS RAJABHAT RAJANAGARINDRA UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the effects and the opinions of the community-based project learning model to promote 21^st century learning skills among applied biology students. The target group consisted of 21 applied biology students, Rajabhat Rajanagarindra University. The research instruments included 1) the community-based project learning model plan to promote 21st century learning skills for applied biology students, Rajabhat Rajanagarindra University; 2) the community-based project assessment form; 3) the 21^st century skills assessment form; and 4) the student opinion survey form on the community-based project learning model to promote 21st century learning skills. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results found that the community-based project was good (µ=4.17, σ=0.33), the students’ 21st century learning skills were good (µ=4.50, σ=0.29), so 52.38% of students were very good, and the students’ opinions on the community-based project learning model to promote 21^st century learning skills were very high (µ=4.55, σ=0.25)
