Abstract
Education forces the students to have learning and innovative skills, using information and technology skills, working properly in their field, and surviving their lives by using their skills. Meanwhile, the National Statistics Bureau show that the improvement of unemployment from higher education rise 25 percent because their competencies are not appropriate with the industries needs, mental burden, and the improvement of industries much faster than curriculum change in the campus. The aim of this research is to analyse the values and improvement of life and carrier skill for the students in implementing the project based learning (PjBL) on advanced physics course. This research has been conducted in pre-experimental design, means that only experimental group. The treatment has been implemented to analyse the effectiveness of combining PjBl and experimental method for training life skills. Before the implementation of learning, student had the moderate competences in 56.94. Afterward, the students skill increase in to 93.96 for very competent. The average increasing skills for N-gain gained 0.86 (high). This case shows that life skills of students increase in the peer assessment and self assessment process. The learning process of the research are electric photo box display project consist of six steps which are designing, constructing, monitoring, developing, reporting, and evaluating. In conclusion, students^ life skill through peer and self assessment gained significant improvement. Research recommendation is delivered that need to implement more complex life skill assessment for all aspects.
