Abstract

enhance university students’ problem-solving skills and self-regulated learning in the Learning Resources Management course. This study employed a Research and Development design using the Borg and Gall model, which was adapted to the instructional product development context. The subjects were 82 sixth-semester students of the Educational Technology Study Program at Universitas Palangka Raya. The implementation results showed that students’ problem-solving skills increased from 60.51 to 82.18, with an N-Gain score of 0.55. Students’ self-regulated learning increased from 60.45 to 87.20, with an N-Gain score of 0.68. The Wilcoxon test showed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores for both variables, with p < 0.001. These findings indicate that Guided Project-Based Learning Student Worksheets are feasible and effective for supporting project-based learning in the Learning Resources Management course.
