| contents | Project Based Learning (PBL), recognized as an active learning strategy, has been linked to self efficacy of student in prior studies, including those within Physics Education Research. Meanwhile, technological advancements have significantly facilitated the optimization of diverse learning modes, including online learning. However, comprehensive investigations addressing questions such as how students perceive PBL and their self efficacy, what forms of PBL design they prefer, and what benefits and challenges they encounter during its implementation remain underexplored in existing literature. This study sought to uncover the experiences of ten students through longitudinal observation in an online PBL Physics class, focusing on its influence on their self efficacy within a phenomenological study. Data were collected via semi structured, in depth interviews. Social Cognitive Theory, Self Efficacy theory of Bandura, and theoretical framework for the impact of project based learning on educational outcomes were employed as guiding frameworks to shape the interpretation of students experiences and perspectives. Through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the researchers identified four primary themes representing the experience of students. There are, variety of unique learning experiences based on students perceptions about their character, pivotal experience as a catalyst in the learning process, student self efficacy in Project Based Learning, and self reflection based on prior experience. The findings contribute novel insights for educators in implementing PBL, particularly in online contexts, by highlighting strategies to accommodate diverse student personality characteristics. Moreover, the study provides helpful references for longitudinal research on the interplay between PBL and self efficacy. |
