Abstract

This research aims to reveal (1) the effectiveness of Project Based Learning viewed from student's autonomy in designing project, (2) the effectiveness of Project Based Learning viewed from student's collaborative efforts in finishing project, and 3) Project Based Learning application based on the mastery of student's psychomotor aspect in Chemistry Education Workshop subject of study program of Chemistry Education of Department of Chemistry Education, Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences, Yogyakarta State University. Subject of this research included students taking education workshop subject in semester 2 of academic year 2006/2007. There were 53 students divided into 7 groups. The research was designed as Classroom Action Research (CAR) with research steps referring to Kemmis and Mc Taggart model and conducted for 2 cycles.
