Learning Innovations During the Pandemic COVID-19 for Teaching of Automotive Industrial Management

Abstract

Pandemic outbreaks of infectious diseases caused by the corona virus (COVID-19) has required the students to study from home at Universitas Negeri Medan, and the learning adaptation by using online learning become a choice. This study aims to develop innovative learning for the teaching of Automotive Industrial Management through the provision of learning resources that can be used by students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted in second semester of 2019-2020 academic year. Research includes developing innovative learning resources, followed by standardization and implementation for blended learning. Learning innovation is carried out by providing innovative teaching materials supplemented with multimedia for the subject of Automotive Industrial Management, then packaged in softcopy. Standardization of teaching materials is done using expert lecturers. Implementation of learning is done with involvement of 61 students in two parallel classes. The results showed that a standard and innovative learning resources have been successfully developed according to the needs of achieving the competencies required by automotive engineering students. Lecturer respondents gave excellent assessment to the developed teaching materials. The implementation results showed that the learning resource has effectively been used students from home as a supplement to online teaching. The developed learning material motivate students to learn to achieve their competencies. Students' knowledge and skills have developed, where learning outcomes obtained from both, the portfolio of submitted assignment and evaluation score, are all very good. The learning innovations developed were very suitable for teaching students on Automotive Industrial Management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Implementation of Project-based Learning Innovation to Develop Students’ Critical Thinking Skills as a Strategy to Achieve Analytical Chemistry Competencies

“…40,41 The application of innovative PjBL has been able to streamline face-to-face time in the laboratory as a strategy for implementing appropriate learning during the current COVID-19 pandemic. 42 This learning is very effective in increasing knowledge and skills of separation techniques, and facilitating students to achieve their competence in analytic separation. 43 The PjBL model is ideal for learning science, because theory can be realized by practice contextually resulting in a long-remembered impression of teaching.…”

The Development of Project-Based Innovative Learning Resources for Teaching Organic Analytical Chemistry

“…Student mastery in the field of organic compound analysis is classified as very good, as evidenced by the high scores obtained from activities and final exams. The availability of innovative learning resources has succeeded in making students work efficiently in a short period of time in the laboratory, in accordance with lecture instructions during the Covid-19 pandemic [22]. All steps of isolation and identification of flavonoid compounds have been carried out correctly.…”

The Development of Guided Inquiry-Based Learning Resources as a Strategy to Achieve Student Competence in Analytical Chemistry

“…The problem faced is that it is difficult to facilitate active learning for students in achieving Analytical Chemistry competence because they have to combine knowledge and skills. The global situation experienced in the last two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, namely social restrictions occurred to cut off the transmission of the corona virus, including restrictions on face-to-face learning [6]. Teaching tends to be done online and restricting student access to study in the laboratory makes it difficult to achieve analytical competence.…”
