Abstract

Education is an effort made by the government to create an atmosphere in the learning process for students to be active in building their potential. In the educational process, students are expected to have religious values, be able to control themselves, personality, intelligent, intellectual, moral, and skilled. Students in schools are asked to have 21st-century skills, namely the appearance known as "4C", one of which is creative thinking skills. To realize this, the role of teachers in schools is needed as educators. In the learning process, the learning model needs to be considered by a teacher for the learning objectives to be achieved. The learning model is (Project Based Learning) which reveals whether the learning model influences the creative thinking of high school biology students, researchers conduct literature reviews related to this. The method in this study is a literature review method, namely analyzing relevant articles with a descriptive type qualitative approach by including the keywords "Project Based Learning" and "creative thinking ability". The result of this literature review is that the PJBL (Project Based Learning) learning model has a significant effect on the ability to think in high school biology class students. In addition to the syntax of the PJBL (Project Based Learning) model which can require students to solve problems in the form of projects so that students can think creatively, other things also support the use of the PJBL (Project Based Learning) learning model such as the use of interesting media-assisted or the use of supporting student worksheets.

Abstract

Changes in behavior in the new normal era that have occurred since the pandemic at the end of 2019 until now have caused changes to occur from all orders of life, one of which is the world of education felt by students. All online activities have become the main material that must be adapted by students both in learning and activities or student organizations, but with the easing of health protocols, activities that were previously online beginning to gradually be transferred to offline, although not all of them. The Center for Scientific Development and Student Research of Padang State University is a student activity unit engaged in research, science, and community service which is one of the units that have changed the work strategy of the management in achieving the vision and mission and common goals in the organization. Since the easing of health protocol regulations, this organization has slowly begun to change the format of its activities that were previously full online to blended, namely some are online and some are offline. Therefore, it is necessary to research the performance of administrators from the perspective of members who serve in the new normal era in pandemic conditions like now. The type of research used is quantitative descriptive research with a Likert scale approach. The data type used is primary data. The study was conducted in the middle of July to early August 2022. The results showed that after researching the performance and level of satisfaction, it was known that the overall performance of the management was by expectations and had a positive influence on the level of member satisfaction.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital learning environments has encouraged schools to integrate e-learning into teaching practices. However, many vocational teachers still show uneven levels of adoption, indicating that the factors shaping their willingness and actual use of e-learning require deeper investigation. This study examines the determinants of vocational teachers’ e-learning adoption using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), focusing on the roles of perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), behavioral intention (BI), and actual use (AU). A quantitative survey was administered to 118 vocational high school teachers, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that PEOU significantly influences both PU and BI, while PU also exerts a positive effect on BI. Furthermore, BI demonstrates a strong and significant effect on AU, mediating the relationships between PU, PEOU, and AU. Overall, the model explains a substantial proportion of variance in teachers’ behavioral intention and actual use of e-learning. These results confirm the robustness of TAM in vocational education contexts and highlight that teachers are more likely to use e-learning when they perceive it as easy, useful, and aligned with their instructional needs. Practically, the study suggests that vocational schools should strengthen digital literacy training, provide technical support, and design user-friendly platforms to enhance teachers’ confidence and motivation. At the policy level, establishing clear digital competence standards may foster sustainable e-learning adoption across vocational institutions.

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.
