Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is a teaching method that focuses on creating projects as a learning medium, serving as an
intermediary to deliver educational material. Project-Based Learning is considered an appropriate method for developing
scientific skills in biology, as its characteristics can meet the needs of biology learning, including scientific products, scientific
processes, and scientific attitudes. The aim of this study is to describe the implementation of learning using Project-Based
Learning in enhancing scientific skills among eighth-grade students at MTs Al-Kahfi. The research method used is qualitative
descriptive, with data collected through a test instrument in the form of a questionnaire, with a sample of 43 students selected
using purposive sampling technique. The results of the study show that in Project-Based Learning, the skills in science process
indicators, such as critical thinking, achieved a percentage of 87.13%, curiosity achieved 88.57%, scientific literacy achieved
84.90%, and analytical thinking achieved 86.53%. The average percentage across all indicators was 86.53%, indicating that
learning through Project-Based Learning effectively fosters science process skills in seventh-grade students at MTs Al-Kahfi.
