Environment is one of the contributing factors to develop creativity. This study aimed to investigate the performance of the project-based learning (PBL) model designed to develop creative learning environments according to the students’ perceptions. The method employed for the study is quasi experimental using one group pretest posttest design inlvolved 42 students of an entrepreneurship class. A scale was developed to measure the students’ perceptions of learning environment after the treatment. We also observed the students’ activities and responses during the project implementation. Paired sample t-test used to analyze the difference between two sets of observation. The result showed that there is significant difference between the two sets of observation. Students’ responses indicated that PBL was capable to develop supporting learning environment that it is useful for creativity development. Keywords—learning environment, project base learning,
