Abstract

Purpose – Blended Learning in the Aerodrome & Heliport course combines theory and practice flexibly and interactively. Conventional methods are less effective due to the lack of active involvement and limited access to learning materials. This study aims to develop blended learning-based learning materials to improve student competency in the Aerodrome & Heliport course at the Makassar Aviation Polytechnic. In addition, this study was conducted due to the low academic achievement of students, with 20% failing the course.Methodology – The research used the Research and Development (R&D) model. However, only the first three stages are worked on: define, design, and develop. This research involves 24 air transport management diploma program students as respondents and two radio aids to air navigation instructor respondents. Data were collected through survey, interview, observation, and documentation. Assessments from experts on blended Learning and aviation education using qualitative and quantitative analysis methods were conducted to assess the validity of the developed teaching materials.Findings – The study demonstrated that blended Learning considerably raised student proficiency. The methodically created instructional materials received a high validity grade from specialists who rated them as "Very Valid" (Va ≥ 0.80). Additionally, the study discovered that using interactive teaching resources—like video tutorials, simulations, and structured learning modules—helped students comprehend complex ideas.Contribution – On a practical level, this study provides real solutions to address learning challenges in aviation vocational education by combining online and in-person Learning. The teaching materials developed can be used as a model by other similar institutions to design tech-based curricula that meet industry needs. Theoretically, the study deepens our understanding of how effective blended Learning can be in technical education, especially in aviation, by emphasizing the need for flexible instructional design that supports higher-order thinking Skills (HOTS).

Abstract

This research focused on digitalizing a web-based Operational Logbook system for the Aerodrome Control Tower used by Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) at the Biak Sub-branch. The current manual Operational Logbook system, which relies on physical books and handwriting, is inefficient due to the need for substantial storage space and the susceptibility to damage. This research aimed to address these issues by providing a web-based application that facilitates easier, faster, and more efficient data entry and retrieval. This research method employed Rapid Application Development (RAD), effectively developing systems quickly and under urgent needs. The RAD process includes three stages: planning, system design, and implementation. The planning phase involved identifying user needs and application objectives. The system design phase encompasses the overall system architecture, while the implementation phase involves developing and testing the application. Results indicated that the web-based Operational Logbook application significantly simplifies the recording and reporting processes for ATC personnel, reduces errors in data entry, and enhances data accessibility. The digital logbook supports high mobility, eliminating the need for physical books and associated storage space, and provides a secure and easily accessible archive of records, minimizing the risk of data loss and misuse. In conclusion, the digitalization of the Aerodrome Control Tower Operational Logbook is crucial for ATC officers at the Biak sub-branch. This web-based application improves the efficiency and effectiveness of record-keeping and reporting processes, aligning with the demands of the digital era and reducing operational inefficiencies.
