Abstract:
This research aims to analyze students' creativity in designing comics
using the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model at the
Kepong Learning Studio, Malaysia. Student creativity is evaluated
based on 3 aspects, namely originality, flexibility and elaboration in
designing comics. The research method used is descriptive
qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation,
interviews and documentation. The research results show that the
application of the PjBL model has a positive impact on the
development of student creativity. Students are more active in
exploring ideas, producing more innovative comic designs, and
improving critical thinking and collaboration skills in completing
projects. The main supporting factor is the use of project-based
methods which encourage students to be more independent in the
learning process. However, researchers also found several obstacles,
such as limited technical skills in drawing and using digital design
applications. The conclusion of this research confirms that PjBL is
effective in increasing students' creativity in designing comics. The
recommendation from this research is the systematic application of
the PjBL method and increased guidance in the use of digital design
technology to support the development of student creativity.
