Abstract

The development of digital technology for education is continuously conducted to successfully integrate digital technology with people's lives. This study aimed to develop an Augmented Reality learning media application for the Engineering Mechanics course, which is considered challenging by some students. Engineering mechanics, a discipline that analyzes structural analysis in compensating for the loads that work on a particular machine in scalar quantities, motion forces, vectors, and moments that require physical structural forms to analyze them, is considered challenging by some students. The Augmented Reality application was created using the prototyping method, which consists of three steps: 1) listening to the customer, 2) building/ revising mock-up, and 3) customer test-drivers mock-up. The AR-based learning media application includes usage instructions, developer info, learning videos, 3D AR object animation simulations, and exercise and discussion menus, which were tested as expected. The results of the black box testing indicate that the Augmented Reality-based engineering mechanics learning media application ran successfully as expected. However, users suggested improving the navigation speed by streamlining page transitions. The application provides an accessible solution for students as an alternative to traditional distance education, offering anytime, anywhere access to learning materials with longer duration.

Abstract

Education has a central role in preparing individuals for the complexities of the modern world of work. Particularly in the context of education in Vocational High Schools, developing students' competencies in collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving is essential. This study explores the effectiveness of the case-based learning method in improving students' understanding of industrial mechanics. The study used a quasi-experiment design with control and experimental groups. The statistical analysis results showed that the case method was more effective in improving students' cognitive mastery than the conventional lecture method. Students who participated in case method learning showed significant improvement in the post-intervention test, demonstrating the superiority of this method in supporting a more effective learning process and preparing students for practical challenges in the field. In conclusion, the case method increases students' participation and interactivity in the learning process and deepens their understanding of technical concepts in industrial mechanics. This research provides a solid basis for implementing more effective and relevant learning methods in preparing vocational students for the increasingly complex needs of the world of work.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review to evaluate the impact of Project-based Learning (PjBL) to vocational education and its effects on developing 21st-century skills. Utilizing the PRISMA framework, the study analyzes 21 articles from an initial pool of 1,036 papers from Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The included literature consists of articles published within the last five years (2019-2024) and systematically examines the findings from relevant studies. The analysis results demonstrate that PjBL is crucial in preparing students for a dynamic, technology-driven workforce by enhancing skills such as learning and innovation, information, media, technology, and life and career skills. Despite challenges in implementing PjBL, such as insufficient technological proficiency, inadequate resources, and misaligned curricula, PjBL offers opportunities to develop more effective pedagogical approaches aligned with industry needs. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between educators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to address these challenges and improve vocational education quality. Additionally, the study identifies the need for further research to bridge existing gaps, particularly in developing information, media, and technology skills. Therefore, PjBL is a potential method for equipping students with essential skills for the ever-evolving job market.

Abstract

This study employs a narrative review methodology to analyze the integration of Virtual Worlds, specifically Simulation Worlds and Adventure Worlds, in engineering education, aiming to enhance conceptual understanding, technical competence, and 21st-century skills. The study synthesizes 23 peer-reviewed articles selected from the Scopus database using stringent inclusion criteria. Simulation-based learning models focus on procedural accuracy and conceptual mastery, while adventure-based models emphasize transversal skills like creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Hybrid models combining both approaches are identified as the most effective, fostering technical expertise and soft skills simultaneously. Despite challenges such as high infrastructure costs and potential cognitive overload, immersive virtual environments offer significant opportunities for scalable and adaptable remote learning. Thematic analysis is employed to synthesize findings and provide recommendations for future implementation. This review highlights the importance of integrating these technologies in engineering education and suggests exploring their long-term impact on engineering careers. Additionally, it underscores the need for further research on the application of immersive technologies across diverse engineering disciplines, focusing on overcoming existing challenges and maximizing their educational potential.
