The rapid development of science and technology results in the change in all of life sectors, including education domain. The change of education domain occurs in learning media use in which electronic book (called e-book) starts to develop today replacing previous book used manually. The objective of research was to find out whether or not the use of PBL (Problem-Based Learning)-based e-book learning media can improve the learning outcome of student. This research was conducted using literature study on the relevant research journals. The problem of research was that the learning was still conducted conventionally and had not used varying learning media, so that the students understood poorly the learning material, leading to the low learning outcome. One of learning media innovations that could be used was PBL (Problem-Based Learning)-based e-book learning media. The PBL-based ebook learning media was one of innovative learning media that could provide active learning condition for the students. Through PBL-based e-book learning media, concept could be understood more in-depth, thereby improving the students' critical thinking and problem solving abilities, and learning outcome.

AbstractAim of the study is to implement Geomatics learning innovations by applying the scaffolding Problem-Based Learning integrated model to improve the student’s Vocational HOTS. The method applied was qualitative with the participation of 2 groups of students practicing consisting of 4 people each. The level of cognitive mastery was measured with the Bloom taxonomy (C1-C6). The results of the investigation showed that the integrated model effectively formed students’ Vocational HOT Skill as a group in 3 stages. The first stage of learning focused on mastering the operation of equipment needed in practice (C2-C3 and partly C4). In the second stage, the students have mastered most of the cognitive analysis and accuracy of practical data (C4-C5) and in the third stage, they made practiced steps more effectively and successfully correlated to the Indonesian National Standards (SNI) level (C6) at the moderately accurate. The application of the Scaffolding Problem-Based Learning model has a positive impact that students get21st-century learning with the main characteristics (4C), consisting: Communication, Collaboration, (Critical thinking, and problem-solving), and Creative thinking. Learning outcomes enriched with higher-order thinking skills can be seen when students take advanced Geomatics material, They already work with groups to map the area more independently

Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) have already become a hot problem in the world of education, especially in developing country like Indonesia. The problem is that the teachers and the students have not been accustomed to processing and evaluating learning with a model that guarantees the creation of HOTS. This study aims to apply suitable concepts of learning in higher education-vocational. The study was conducted in 2 classes where the students had taken of the Basics of Geomatics. The learning process and evaluation involve the uses of Edmodo media application program, strengthtening to blended learning. The data collection phase was conducted by providing a questionnaire to evaluate the formation of the student's HOTS. The questionnaire results were analyzed using the paired samples t-test by SPSS program. The decision: There was a difference score between class A using blended learning and class B not using blended learning (p-value= 0.015 < 0.05). The study concluded that the blended learning model can increase student's HOTS in higher education-vocational (V-HOTS).

This study aims to: 1) find out whether problem-solving performance in students who are subjected to the CPA approach is better than problem-solving performance in students who are subjected to conventional approaches, 2) find out whether learning motivation in students who are subjected to the CPA approach is better than learning motivation in students who are subjected to conventional approaches. The study was conducted on 7th-grade junior high school students in Purworejo Regency. This study was an experimental study involving 91 students in the experimental class and 96 students in the control class. The research instrument used observation sheets of student learning motivation and tests consisting of 20 multiple choice test items and 5 essay test items. The data analysis technique uses a paired sample T-test to see the improvement of problem-solving performance and independent sample T-test to see the difference in the influence of the CPA Approach with the conventional approach. The results showed that: 1) problem-solving performance in students who are subjected to the CPA approach is better than problem-solving performance in students who are subjected to conventional approaches, 2) motivation to learn in students who are subjected to the CPA approach is better than learning motivation in students who are subjected to conventional approaches. The results also show that the CPA Approach can encourage students to solve problems with nonstandard procedures.
