Development of Electronic Learning Methods Using the Project-Based Learning Method

Abstract

With the rapid development of science at this time and the criteria for recruitment of workers who need soft skills, the Teaching and Learning Process (PBM) applying the Teacher Center Learning (TCL) method is no longer appropriate. The application of the Student Center Learning (SCL), which emphasizes on the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) method is needed. The assessment is not only on hard skills (such as Tasks, Examinations, Exams, Exercises, Quizzes, group presentations, and Major Tasks) but also on soft skills. Using the SCL-PjBL method in PBM will be able to increase the maximum absorption of knowledge to students. Besides, the students must be prepared in terms of lecture material, which will be presented by more challenged lectures to be better prepared because the SCL-PjBL method makes more lecturers as facilitators. The results of the assessment of Electronics courses with the application of the SCL-PjBL method for 131 students in the 2018/2019 school year obtained an average score of soft skills of 72% from a 40% rating or 28.8 on a 100 scale.
