Development of Project-Based Learning Model Through Outcome Based Education (OBE) Based Learning in Creative Economy Course, Economic Education Study Program, State University of Medan

The curriculum implemented by the S1 Economic Education study program at Unimed is based on independent learning with an emphasis on Outcome Based Education (OBE). In this approach, learning outcomes that include knowledge and skills must be measurable in concrete terms. To achieve accurate measurement, a project-based learning model is needed that is in line with the OBE principle and is suitable for application in this study program. It is expected that this model will be able to improve student competence, which will be reflected through their learning achievements. The researcher used the Research and Development (R&D) method, with a development approach adapted from the ADDIE model, with the following stages: (1) analysis of student characteristics and needs, (2) design of learning models, (3) development of learning models, (4) implementation, and (5) evaluation of model application. The validity of the product was tested by experts using a validation sheet instrument. This model was then tested on a limited basis by involving lecturers and students, using instruments in the form of questionnaires and interviews. The effectiveness of the model was evaluated through a one-class trial using a one-group pretest-posttest design.
