Abstract

Project-based learning model is a learning model that emphasizes students to understand concepts, principles, investigation, decisions and represent products. This model is the right learning method used in various disciplines because it can improve thinking skills. This study aims to describe students' perceptions of the application of project-based learning models in the training program design and strategy courses by clustering data using the K-Means method. The result of the study shows that of the four clusters, they strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree, cluster 1 (agree) has the most data, namely 18 data indicating that the student agrees Project-based learning models are able to provide satisfaction when the project is complete, innovative learning models, practice project management skills, train a culture of cooperation, minimize the dominance of lecturers in learning, oriented to the optimization of potential students, practice creative thinking skills, practice cognitive skills in analytical material needs, design, development, implementation and evaluation of education and training programs, equip cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills as well as challenging learning skills, so that it is suitable to be applied in the lecture design and strategy courses. © 2018 IEEE.
