Abstract

Learning in higher education requires a dynamics of learning which able to grow up the critical thinking, analyzing, communication, negotiating, cooperation, and argumentation. The term to describe those personal attributes that indicate the various ability is a soft skill. Definitely the all sort of ability is about to build through project-based learning. In general, project-based learning implemented by using group work. Interestingly, previous study indicate the implementation of group work in higher education has been accompanied by free riders or social loafing in a group work. Even though, the evaluation practice provides an opportunity to control that problem. This study aims to: 1) developing evaluation design to controlling the free rider's behavior on project-based learning; and 2) developing evaluation design which improves group work learning satisfaction. This study conducting to Borg and Gall research and development design and Plomp and Nieveen involves: analysis, design and develop prototype and evaluation. The population in this study are the students of Departement of Accounting Education, Faculty of Economy in the Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED). Meanwhile, the purposive sampling technique is used to selecting the students who engaged in Learning Evaluation subject. The instrument of evaluation which developed has been validated by judgment expert and received a positive response from students. Student response of satisfaction, which collected by questionnaire, shows that student satisfaction were high by evaluation learning design that tested to them. The design highly potential to be tested and adopted in another subject.
