Abstract

This study was motivated by the low collaboration skills and learning outcomes in social studies subjects due to monotonous learning methods and the underutilization of digital learning media. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the "Journey to Merdeka" educational game integrated with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students’ collaboration skills and learning outcomes. Employing a mixed-method research and development (R&D) approach, this study involved 8th-grade students from three junior high schools in Brebes Regency. Key stages included product design, validation, testing, and analysis using statistical techniques such as Wilcoxon and N-gain tests. Findings show a significant increase in collaboration skills—students categorized as "very good" rose from 10.81% to 97.30%—and improved learning outcomes, with an N-gain score of 0.6213 (moderate effectiveness). The results confirm that the educational game is valid and well-received, and effective in supporting active learning, problem-solving, and collaborative engagement in social studies.

Abstract

This study examines prospective teachers’ perceptions of faculty members as content creators in higher education, with a focus on how content development impacts effective teaching and learning. Using a qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach, the research explores the experiences of 26 senior students from diverse academic backgrounds at a university in Northwestern Turkey. The participants were selected through maximum variation sampling, representing fields such as special education, elementary education, science, social studies, preschool, and mathematics teaching. The findings reveal that prospective teachers value faculty members’ use of technology to create engaging, personalized learning experiences. Faculty expertise in digital content creation and contemporary teaching tools plays a key role in shaping students’ pedagogical development and boosting their confidence. However, challenges such as varying technological proficiency levels hinder some prospective teachers from fully integrating content creation into their future teaching practices. The study underscores the importance of faculty expertise and technological competence in teacher preparation. It advocates for comprehensive professional development programs to enhance educators’ content creation skills and encourages collaborations between faculty and technology experts to develop effective educational content. The study calls for addressing technological adoption barriers and equipping prospective teachers with necessary skills for effective 21st-century teaching. Future research should build on these findings with quantitative methods to further explore students’ perspectives on content creation.
