The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the project citizen learning model to improve the 21st-century skills of students in Aceh. The hypothesis in this study posits a significant influence of the improvement of the 21st-century skills of student’s through project citizen learning on students studying under conventional methods. This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experiment pretest-post-test nonequivalent control group design. The sample of this study was 200 high school students in Aceh selected from four schools and eight classes spread across Aceh. The data in this study were collected through a 40-item questionnaire developed from previous studies and were modified to fit into the environment of the current study. The finding shows that the 21st-century skills of students in the experimental and control classes increased by 0.233 and 0.621 before and after the treatment, respectively. The results also revealed a significant influence on the use of the project citizen-learning model on improving the 21st-century skills of students in Aceh. This influence was indicated by the value of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0,000 <0.05 with a mean score in the experimental class of 4.133 and the control class of 3.642. Thus, the project citizen learning method can improve 21st-century skills of students in Aceh. Teachers who are responsible for other subjects are expected to be able to use the project citizen learning model to improve 21st-century skills with materials that are in line with the steps of project citizen learning.
