Efektivitas Pendekatan Project Based Learning Dalam Keterampilan Vokasional Membuat Pomade Bagi Siswa Tunarungu DI SLBN 2 PADANG

This research was initiated by the learning process of vocational skills that
were less attractive, such as culinary skills, fashion, workshop, and woodworking which
were applied in schools that were taught using the demonstration method, so that deaf
students were bored in learning. In this position, the researcher provides an alternative by
using innovation in the form of a Project-Based Learning approach to support the learning
process of students' vocational skills by making pomade. Researchers used an
experimental method in the form of a pre-experimental design with the type of one group
pretest-posttest design with a sample of five deaf students. Abilities that were assessed
pretest and posttest were processed and compared using the Mann Whitney test. The
results of this study indicate the ability of deaf students to make pomades after being
analyzed by looking at the average at the pretest and posttest. The data is processed to be
more scientific using the Mann Whitney test. Obtained Uhit = 2.5 and Utab = 2 with n =
5 at a significant level of 95% and a = 0.5. The alternative hypothesis is accepted because
of Uhit> Utab. So it is proven that the project-based learning approach is effective in
increasing the ability to create pomades for deaf students in class VIII at SLBN 2 Padang.
Suggestions in this study are that teachers and deaf students in SLBN 2 Padang can use
project-based learning to improve the ability to make pomades for other students.
