“…Based on the quantitative results above, it was found that the TOEFL preparation course for Unkhair's students has a large effect on students' score improvement. This finding is in line with many previous research before that also investigated the effectiveness of a TOEFL preparation course (Dewi, Darna & Suprato, 2015;Maharani & Putro, 2021;Muslimin, 2014). Before elaborating the TOEFL preparation course in detail, it should be noted that this course is a type of targeted test preparations that mainly consist of test-coaching activities, including instruction focused on the test-taking practice to upgrade students' score to some extent.…”

“…Reading and listening skills have also been viewed as easier to improve. Maharani and Putro (2021) explained that their participants admitted on how they felt that reading and listening skills improved significantly through a TOEFL course even though their score did not increase. Our finding, however, refutes what Simanjuntak (2018) found that there was no effect on reading section when students after students participate in a TOEFL preparation class.…”

This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of the implementation of TOEFL Preparation in order to increase the students’ TOEFL test scores, then the scores can be used for academic purposes. The research conducted was an experimental study with a paired-sample t-test. Participants consisted of 20 selected students at Khairun University, namely through pretest, treatment (listening, structure, reading), and posttest. The research method used two types of instruments: pre-test, which used to measure the TOEFL test initial score, and post-test, which was used to measure the final score. The data collected from both the pre-test and post-test is then analyzed by using the paired-sample t-test in SPSS. The result showed that there were significant differences between students' scores in the pre-test and post-test in the three sections: Listening, Structure and written Expression, and Reading Comprehension. It also showed that the overall TOEFL preparation class students have increased scores. The part that has the biggest difference was the reading skill compared to the previous two sections. The students’ maximum score increased in the post-test in all three sections which means there was an increase of the score. The effectiveness of this program was strongly supported by the implemented learning model, namely PBL. The implementation of PBL in this program is very relevant because students are guided to identify the problems that usually arise in TOEFL questions and how to solve them.

“…Microsoft Sway is an e-learning medium where users can combine text and other media such as images, video, and audio to create websites that can be used for presentations. The PJBL learning model is a learning model that uses projects in core activities [4]. Students can learn through experience or acquisition of concepts built based on the final product produced in learning.…”

Technology is very influential on education, where technology cannot be separated from life; technological progress will go according to the development of education. Therefore, this study aims to produce e-learning based on PjBL products assisted by integrated Microsoft Sway STEM with the hope that these products can be helpful for the wider community, can broaden teachers’ insights about various forms of appropriate learning media as alternative learning materials in the learning process glasses in class, and can be used for students to study physics independently at home. The research method used is research and development (R&D) with ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) as a development model with several stages, namely analyzing the needs of Sway e-learning learning media, product design, design validation, design revision, product trials, product revisions, final products. The results of this study are based on an average proportion of the material validation test of 96.25%, the media validation test of 73.62%, the learning validation test of 80%, and product assessment by the teacher’s perspective of 89.23%, and product assessment by students by 88.4%. With an overall average of 85.5%, based on product validation and trials, a proportion of 85.5%, Sway’s e-learning learning media is in the very feasible category, and it was also found that the n-gain score of 0. 58 was in the medium category. From the results of the n-gain value, it is concluded that e-learning based on PjBLintegratded to STEM products using Microsoft sway on parabolic motion material can improve students’ critical thinking.

“…Program evaluation is a method which is systemized for collecting data, analyzing data, and using information based on the results to answer basic questions about the program. Program evaluations can be grouped into input evaluations, process evaluations, outcome evaluations, and impact evaluations [16] Several studies evaluating education quality improvement programs include the evaluation of the MGMP program [8], evaluation of the junior high school teacher arrangement program [14], evaluation of the TOEFL preparation course program [6], evaluation of the entrepreneurial student program [1] and the evaluation of the 4-year program SMK policy [11]The research was conducted using a survey method.…”

The MBKM program seeks to improve graduates' competence making both hard and soft skills more prepared and applicable, particularly in light of the demands of the 21st century and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 abilities. The MBKM program allows students to learn through experiences in society, business, and industry, which will build continuing education. The research was motivated by the need for an evaluation of implementation of MBKM program to assess the effectiveness of achieving the program's objectives. The study was conducted at Economic Education study program, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, This evaluation research used a countenance stake model. Collecting data used questionnaires, interviews, and documentation techniques. The data was analyzed by descriptive quantitative. The results indicated that implementation of MBKM program has been carried out quite well. (1) Antecedents component, preparation of MBKM program is in high category; (2) Transaction component, the implementation of the MBKM program is categorized as moderate; (3) Outcomes component, the learning outcome of student is in high category.
