Project-Based Learning as the Alternative for Distance Learning in Pandemic COVID-19

Abstract

Distance learning during the pandemic raises many problems such as internet network limitations, bandwidth cap and fully-loaded tasks of teachers and students. This study aims to provide a theoretical illustration of project-based learning for distance learning classes. The researchers used the library method with several stages, including determining problems and research objects, collecting data, classifying and eliminating data based on needs, doing relevance checks, synthesizing findings and describing results. The analysis was conducted qualitatively based on classified data according to the research needs.. The results of the study indicate that project-based learning is suitable to be used as an alternative of distance learning during the pandemic with six aspects of considerations: 1) readiness , 2) safety, 3) monitoring, 4) thematic,

The effect of project-based distance learning on mastery of work and energy concepts

“…This is supported by the suitability of the learning design that has been determined and the existence of learning tools that support students' exploratory activities in the form of working on worksheets to deepen their mastery of concepts. Learning by using a project-based learning model can encourage students to be more active because students gain cognitive, social, affective, psychomotor, and other skills, encourage students to engage in authentic works and tasks in depth and actively, and find new solutions that utilize more many resources more broadly as well as knowledge sharing, collaboration [31], [32]. In addition, this model also allows students to have the opportunity to formulate their own learning needs so that they become independent and involved students who can solve problems through several stages, namely problem recognition, designing project plans, creating project schedules, implementing and monitoring projects, presentation, evaluation and reflection [33].…”

Technology Fatigue During the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Case of Distance Project-Based Learning Environments

“…The literature indicates that PBL is widely used in the education field (Al Mulhim & Eldokhny, 2020;Chen et al, 2019;Holmes & Hwang, 2016;Johnson et al, 2013;Rogers et al, 2011). It also reports that PBL can improve education outcomes, such as attitudes toward learning, motivation, academic achievement, self-assessment, self-directed learning, the learning of higher-order thinking skills, self-regulation skills, research skills, practical thinking, problemsolving skills, creativity, and collaboration (Al Mulhim & Eldokhny, 2020;Ardhyantama et al, 2020;Bilgin et al, 2015;Chen et al, 2019;English & Kitsantas, 2013;Mahasneh & Alwan, 2018;Dilekli, 2020;Wahyuningsih et al, 2021, Edy et al, 2020Yuliansyah & Ayu, 2021).…”

“…Distance project-based learning (DPBL) is very similar to traditional PBL but occurs remotely online, as the project team does not meet face-to-face nor with their supervisor. Educational institutions have broadly applied DPBL during the COVID-19 pandemic (Ardhyantama et al, 2020;Edy et al, 2020;Hira & Anderson, 2021;Kuladinithi et al, 2020;Kartikawati, 2020;Rahayu & Fauzi, 2020;Wahyuningsih et al, 2021;Yuliansyah & Ayu, 2021). However, the DPBL environment has not yet been studied alongside technology fatigue, though there are different arguments about it.…”

Parent satisfaction when schools from home during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Another challenge of the home learning method is the support and assistance of parents in assisting children during the learning process because most Indonesian children are not familiar with the online learning system from home [14], [15]. However, the support provided by parents varies greatly depending on the available resources and readiness to accompany children when implementing online learning.…”
