Abstract

This research aims to examine
the effect of
Project-based Collaborative Learning (PBCL) strategy
on conceptual understanding and application of
biology for students with different social skills. The research design used a
quasi-experimental design of a non-equivalent control group. The
population in this study was all 11th-grade students at Al-Abidin Surakarta high school. Seventy-five
students were taken as the research subjects
and divided into two groups, 38 students in the experimental class with PBCL
implementation and 37 ones in the control class with Collaborative Learning
(CL) strategically. Sampling
technique using cluster random sampling. The instruments used
a questionnaire of social skills developed by Tapia-Gutierrez & Delgado (2015) and a test instrument of multiple
choice and essay for conceptual understanding and concept application. The data
were analyzed using Multivariate Analysis Of
Variance. Based on the results of the research,
all significance values 0.00<0.05. The
result shows that a significant difference in both strategies PBCL & CL towards either conceptual understanding
or concept application exists. In addition, a significant difference in social
skills towards either conceptual understanding or concept application appears.
The interaction effect between those strategies and social skills towards
conceptual understanding and concept application was found.
