Abstract

The objective of this study is to create a variable frequency drive (VFD) trainer kit, assess the practicality of the developed VFD educational tool, and evaluate its impact on the academic performance of industrial electronic engineering students, particularly in the area of electronic control systems. The study utilizes the ADDIE model and customized to meet the requirements and consists of the following phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. There were 130 respondents consisting of 122 vocational students, 1 industry expert/practitioner in the field of VFD, 1 vocational training center instructor, 4 vocational teachers, and 2 lecturers. Data were collected using questionnaires with 4 Likert scales from strongly agree to strongly disagree, feasibility assessment sheets from media experts and material experts, interviews, and electronic control system learning outcomes tests. The learning media receives a “highly feasible” and the job sheet obtains 67 “highly feasible”. Moreover, the level of effectiveness of the learning media receives a score of 0.724, indicating high effectiveness. Therefore, they have proven to be effective in enhancing student learning outcomes and developing their proficiency in controlling the speed of electric motors. This will help bridge the gap between the industry's skill requirements and the skills taught in schools.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology in higher education has accelerated the need for innovative pedagogical approaches that foster active learning and digital competence. Project-Based Learning (PjBL) supported by e-learning provides authentic, technology-driven experiences that are particularly valuable in vocational education, where students must connect theory with practice. This study examined the effect of PjBL using e-learning on student learning outcomes in vocational education courses at the Department of Information Technology Education, Universitas Negeri Surabaya. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed with 64 purposively selected undergraduate students from the 2024/2025 academic cohort. Participants were assigned equally to an experimental group (n = 32), which received PjBL integrated with e-learning, and a control group (n = 32), which received conventional lecture-based instruction. Data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and effect size calculations. Findings revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 84.63, SD = 5.21) compared to the control group (M = 76.88, SD = 6.02). The independent samples t-test confirmed the significance of the difference (t = 5.67, p < 0.001), while Cohen’s d (d = 1.32) indicated a large effect size. These results demonstrate that integrating PjBL with e-learning substantially improves learning outcomes in vocational education. In conclusion, PjBL supported by e-learning offers an effective instructional strategy for enhancing problem-solving, higher-order thinking, and active student engagement. The findings suggest that aligning pedagogy with digital platforms can optimize learning effectiveness and strengthen students’ readiness for professional challenges.
