Implementation of Project-Based Learning in Producing Custom-Made Uniforms Combined with Hand-Drawn Batik in Entrepreneurial Education

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in producing custom-made daily uniforms combined with hand-drawn batik and to evaluate learners’ learning outcomes in the 2025 Entrepreneurial Skills Education Program at LKP Kriya Busana Majapahit. The background of this study is based on the increasing demand for vocational education approaches that are capable of integrating practical skills, creativity, and entrepreneurial competence in line with industry needs, particularly in the fashion and creative industries. This research focuses on the application of PjBL as an instructional model that emphasizes authentic learning experiences through real product creation. The scope of the study covers the implementation of learning activities, learner engagement, and competency achievement in custom-made garment production integrated with batik craftsmanship. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-shot case study approach. Data were collected from 28 learners through structured observations and product assessments during the training program. The results show that Project-Based Learning was implemented very effectively, indicated by instructor activity scores of 3.95 and learner activity scores of 3.87, both categorized as excellent. In addition, learners achieved an average product score of 91, which exceeded the minimum mastery criterion of 82. These findings indicate that PjBL effectively supports the development of vocational competencies, improves learner engagement, and enhances product quality in custom-made batik uniform production within entrepreneurial education settings.
