Abstract

The aim of the research is to describe the implementation of the Project Based Learning model in learning English for Nursing courses for students of the Nursing Study Program Akper Kesdam I/BB Padang Semester 4. Students have difficulty understanding the basic competencies developed especially in designing nursing care reports. One of the learning models that can be used is the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model, because the focus of this learning model is creating products and directly involving students in the learning process. The research design is descriptive qualitative. The research was carried out in odd semesters of the 2022-2023 academic year. The research subjects were 41 nursing students who were taking the English for Nursing course. The data collection technique used is the participant observation sheet, so it requires collaborators who help record the researcher's activities when implementing the learning model. Questionnaires are used to obtain data on student perceptions of the application of learning models, as well as student assignments. The research results obtained from participant sheets, questionnaires, and student assignments were analyzed using descriptive qualitative to obtain real data during the process of implementing the Project Based Learning model. From the results of this study 85,36%  indicated that the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model used by lecturers in the teaching and learning process made students better understand every detail in compiling nursing care reports in English both using the right vocabulary, choosing terms and language structure used that must be done in the field later as a professional nurse. While the class average result of 77% exceeds the material mastery criterion score of 70. The conclusion of the study is the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model as a learning strategy for English for Nursing courses that is appropriate for providing detailed, detailed and challenging student learning experiences.
