Popis: The purpose of this research was to identifythe correlation of students’ perception (i.e., personal interest, sense making and effort, real world connection and problem solving perception) in learning physics after the intervention of Project – Based Learning (PBL) (i.e., egg drop project). This research was conducted in Tuaran and Kota Maruduin Malaysia. A total of thirtyeight(38) form four students (i.e., 17 male and 21 female students) were used in the study. Data used in the study were collected using the Colorado Learning Attitude about Science Survey (CLASS) – personal interest, sense making, real world connection and problem solving general Category. Respondents were required to response to the survey instrument based on a five pointLikert scale after (post-survey)the implementation of PBL. Data collected were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science Version 20.0 for windows (SPSS) to identify the correlation of students’ perception based on the post-survey responses. Spearman’s Rank – Order Correlation showed positive correlation between students’ personal interest, making sense and effort, real world connection and problem solving perception that includes overall students.Therefore study revealed that through PBL-egg drop project, students could relate physics concepts; momentum, impulse and impulsive force into real life situations, engaged students’ personal interest, sense making and effort, real world connection and problem solving perception and changed students’ perception towards physics.
