The effect of project based learning on learning environment and learning outcomes in vocational high school students

Abstract

The aimed of this study was to determine the effect of Project Based Learning Models on students’ learning environment and learning outcome in vocational High School. Samples were taken using cluster random sampling technique. This study used quasi-experimental method and involving a population of 142 students in the first year in automotive class from one of State Vocational High School in Surakarta. The sample was taken using cluster random sampling. Automotive class A with 36 students was used as the experimental class and automotive class B with 35 students as the control class. Data was collected using questionnaire, interview and test in the topic of rectilinear motion and circular motion. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential analysis techniques using ANOVA. The results of this study showed that there was significant effect of project based learning model on students’ learning environment and outcomes. The project-based learning and learning environment has an interaction to determine the students learning outcome. Students tend to have better learning outcomes in good learning environment. Project-based learning successfully increases the learning environment significantly on indicators teacher-student relationships and Student-student relationships.

Designing of Environmental Physics Course Instruments about Ocean Wave Energy to Enhance Students' Creative Thinking Skills

“…This shows that the developed course program has a positive impact on increasing students' mastery of concepts and creative thinking skills in environmental physics lectures. This is consistent with what has been revealed by several studies that project-based learning can improve students 'mastery of concepts [32,33] and can also improve students' thinking skills [34,35].…”

“…Based on the results of expert judgment in table 7 shows that all expert validators agreed related to the lecture program that was developed even though each validator provided notes as input. One note that needs to be considered is that learning outside of school is that special worksheets need to be developed that focus on developing creative thinking skills [32]. In addition, it is also necessary to include an evaluation tool for the lecture process at each meeting.…”

Application of Problem-Based Learning to Enhance Student Learning Outcomes in Basic Competencies of Maintaining Brake Systems

“…According to students, the 7) it makes it easier for students to understand concepts to solve problems in real life. These advantages make students who are taught using problem-based learning models also have a higher level of creativity than students who are taught using direct learning models (Dasining, Muslim, & Handajani, 2019).…”

Enhancing supervision efficiency and satisfaction: Evaluating the impact of the e-monprakerin model on vocational high school apprenticeship monitoring

“…This gap is related to (1) conceptual problems, i.e. supply not demand oriented, vocational programs are only school-based, no recognition of previous learning experiences, career deadlocks for vocational high school graduates, vocational teachers lack of experience in industry, the assumption that education is only the responsibility of the government, Vocational education is more formally oriented, SMK dependence on government subsidies (Piccolo & Colquitt, 2006), (2) program problems, namely education tends to be oriented towards teaching subjects, students' vocational bases are less strong, competency content is not strong, the number of hours is limited (Young & Collin, 2004), (3) operational problems, namely basic practices are not taught fundamentally (Raharjo et al, 2012), students are often left to practice in the wrong way (Rismawati et al, 2019), leave students with "fake" quality results, learning principles do not follow mastery learning principles, students often work without the guidance and supervision of teachers, students often practice in an irresponsible, there are still many teachers who are only in school during teaching hours, vocational schools lack economic insight, school awareness to shape the work ethic of teachers and students is still lacking (Raharjo et al, 2018;Sutikno et al, 2019). Addressing these challenges requires a novel approach that leverages advancements in information technology to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of internship monitoring.…”
