This study examines the application of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in chemistry learning at SMAN 1 Sreseh, with a focus on increasing motivation and understanding of concepts among students, especially Children with Special Needs (ABK: Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus). PjBL was chosen as an approach that can increase student engagement through the exploration of projects relevant to everyday life, allowing students to better understand abstract chemical concepts. The results showed that the application of PjBL could increase students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, with regular students experiencing a more significant improvement. Although ABK students show lower improvements, they also gain significant benefits in terms of understanding of chemistry concepts and active involvement in projects. This study confirms that PjBL is an effective learning method to increase motivation and understanding of concepts, especially for ABK students, in the context of inclusive education.
 

Connectivism is a learning theory that emphasizes the importance of networks and connections in the learning process, especially in the context of modern digital and technology. Learning is no longer limited to physical classrooms, but involves various sources of information spread through the internet network. In this digital era, tools and applications such as Canva are very relevant. Canva is a graphic design platform that allows users to create a variety of visual content easily and collaboratively. Through connectivism, applications such as Canva allow students to work together on design projects, share ideas, and access various visual resources from all over the world. By using Canva, students not only learn graphic design skills, but also develop the ability to collaborate effectively, access information quickly, and integrate knowledge from various disciplines. This reflects the principles of connectivism where learning occurs through dynamic interactions between learners and technology, creating a richer and more connected learning environment.
