In order to develop the Centre of Nano Research and Advanced Materials at Universitas Negeri Malang in Indonesia, an appropriate learning method was required. Research-based learning was selected as satisfying the criteria to support teaching in this nanotechnology centre of excellence. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using research-based learning. By statistically analysing test results from classes taught analysis using research-based learning, and those not using research-based learning, a t-test significance value of 0.015, which is less than 0.05, was obtained. From these results, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the results of learners who are taught using research-based learning and those not taught using research-based learning, with the former being the better. © 2017 WIETE.
