Brain-Based Project Learning: Developing A Formative Assessment Model In English-Speaking Instruction

Abstract

This research explores the effectiveness of the Brain-Based Project Learning (BBPL) Assessment Model in enhancing English speaking skills among high school students. By integrating principles of brain research with project-based learning, BBPL aims to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment aligned with the brain's natural learning processes. The study employs the 4D Model to develop and validate the BBPL Assessment Model, involving expert judgments and student surveys to assess its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The findings reveal that the BBPL Assessment Model is both valid and practical, garnering positive feedback from students regarding its contribution to skill acquisition, knowledge retention, and attitude enhancement. The study underscores the importance of innovative assessment models in promoting meaningful language learning experiences and suggests avenues for further research and implementation in language education contexts.
