Implementation Model of Capstone Project Through Collaborative Project-Based Learning Using Application of Project Management

Capstone Project (CP) is a project-based learning method (PbL) that enables students to utilize the information acquired in college to solve real-world problems. There are still deficiencies in implementing CP within the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) curriculum. According to OBE curricular standards, process improvements are necessary to achieve precise and measurable learning outcomes. The OBE curriculum focuses on learning outcomes and the difficulties of establishing achievement standards and accurate evaluation. This study examines the CP implementation paradigm using the project management application (PMA). Implementing CP online presents challenges such as coordination, time management, and tracking of project progress. This study uses a quantitative research design with a survey approach to investigate PMA's efficacy in implementing CP. The research involved 156 participants chosen using purposive sampling methods. The research questionnaire assesses student motivations, participation, and partnerships. Data analysis shows that PMA positively affects student motivation, engagement, and cooperation, strengthening the CP process. The results offer significant information for making informed judgments and improving educational practices to improve student learning outcomes and overall academic quality.
