The study aims to measure the level of students' understanding of ergonomics' principles with video. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method with the survey method. This research involved six students of the Faculty of Engineering and Vocational Education, especially Mechanical Engineering at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The data were obtained using a gradual questionnaire. The first stage before the respondent watched the learning video and after watching the ergonomic learning video for 15 minutes. The questionnaires were distributed randomly to students without choosing a gender. The instrument was compared before and after watching the video. The instrument was then analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis whereby the frequency and percentage are used to analyzed data. Learning video helps students to understand basic ergonomics principles easily. Input from the concept of this video is made to make fun and easy to understand by students. This study's purpose is achieved because it measures students' knowledge about the principle of ergonomics increasing after watching a video. The results show that student knowledge increases after watching the video Basic Ergonomics Principles at Work. Video learning can help students design a better understanding of basic ergonomics principles compared to entering the classroom.

This article describes the learning process of Civic Education in Higher Education through e-learning. College students today are Millennial's Generation (Y Generation) who are very familiar with internet and use in technology. The development of technology provides a challenge for the education system. This qualitative research is carried out using the literature study method, observation and interviews in the subject of learning media in the classroom. In this study lecturers used Google Classroom media. The researcher was worked together with ten students of Pancasila and Civic Education Program and a lecture of learning media in Universitas Negeri Jakarta, Indonesia. The interview was conducted after learning media class closing. Data analysis was carried out in two way that was arranged repeatedly and coding of interviews data. Based on the results shows Civic Education through e-learning using Google Classroom has increases students to be able to critical thinking, creative and innovative. The use of Google Classroom also gives freedom to college students in learning activities so that they can create learning media and implement it when practicing teaching at school.

“…PBL is an approach for reducing the gap between theory and practice when it is based on real problems, and it is able to provide students with the chance to propose the solution strategy that contributes to understanding the real-life problem and solution (Corrêa and Martins, 2016). In addition, PBL also allows the students to develop soft skills such as teamwork, self-assessment, problem-solving, leadership, and negotiation (Deep et al, 2019;Jabarullah and Hussain, 2019). This study aims to investigate the implementation of a software engineering course at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, the University of Jeddah, using PBL methodology from the students' perspective in the learning process.…”

The student learning process using real-life contextualization and soft skills are the factors that every student should acquire after completing a Software Engineering course. Problem-based learning (PBL) that promotes learning by doing is used to be implemented in the Software Engineering course in order to solve these issues. A study is conducted with the intention to investigate the introduction of implementing PBL in the Software Engineering course at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Jeddah. Thus, this paper aims to report the findings of introducing PBL to stimulate students' learning and skills. The PBL was implemented in the Software Engineering course as an ongoing teaching method for Fall Semester 2019/2020, and after completing this course, a set of the questionnaire is distributed to all students to get their perceptions of using PBL. The results indicated that PBL stimulates the students' learning by allowing them to be responsible for their learning, become self-directed learners and given the students the ability to be responsible for their own learning in a simulated environment, working with fellow students to achieve an outcome. These results are comparable with previous works on PBL in the Software Engineering course, and PBL has been emphasized as a new teaching paradigm in an ongoing review of software engineering undergraduate program by IEEE/ACM. Therefore, the result of this study is significant as it highlights the positive conclusion of PBL, and this led to the theoretical of Software Engineering education in reducing the gap between theory and practice in curriculum development.
