Abstract

The objective of this research is as follows: (1) to develop a Project-Based Learning module for the Learning Planning course in the Kindergarten Education program at the Faculty of Education (FIP) Unimed; (2) to determine the feasibility of the project-based learning module for the Learning Planning course based on expert assessments; (3) to assess the effectiveness of the project-based learning module in enhancing students' creative thinking. This research is a Research and Development study following the Four-D model for development, with four stages: Develop, define, design, and spread or disseminate. The study was conducted in the Kindergarten Education program at the Faculty of Education (FIP) Unimed, with a sample of 2 educational technology experts and 16 fourth-semester Kindergarten Education students for product testing in a small class. The research was carried out from February to August 2023. The validation results indicate that the learning module is valid (80.12), meaning that the module is suitable for use. The module's trial conducted in a small class showed an increase in the number of students with creative thinking skills after the learning process.
