Students’ Perceptions of Utilizing PBL (Project-Based Learning) Method and Using Video in Writing Narrative Texts

The application of a Project-Based Learning (PBL) strategy and the use of video as a teaching medium for narrative writing are the main objectives of this project. The objective is to gauge the method's efficacy by looking at how grade XI students at SMA Negeri 21 Bandung perceive it. The study employs a survey design and a quantitative methodology. Descriptive statistical analysis and a questionnaire with a 5-level Likert scale were used to gather data. The validity and reliability of the research tool have been examined (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.906). The results showed that most students positively perceived PBL and video media, with an average score above 3.47 ("High" category). Students stated that PBL helps them understand the material, increase motivation, and study activeness. The implication is that video media effectively facilitates understanding concepts and increases writing confidence. This study implies that PBL and video media can be applied effectively in English language learning, significantly improving students' narrative text-writing skills. These two approaches may offer educators a workable way to raise the standard of writing instruction, particularly when it comes to teaching English.
