Project-based learning as an alternative solution for learning computer basics during the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

This study aims to obtain a meaningful alternative learning in computer basics courses during the covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has gradually changed the educational paradigm, namely learning that was initially carried out synchronously into asynchronous Learning. It is at this time that all elements adapt to find effective solutions in carrying out meaningful Learning. In this study, Project-Based Learning will be designed in Computer Basics learning as a solution to make meaningful asynchronous Learning. Project-Based Learning was chosen because it has characteristics that are process-centred, problem-focused, combining the concepts of several components, both knowledge, disciplines, and field experience. The study subjects were college students of class Computer Basics, with a total of 11 students. There are two projects in this study with three steps which are planning the project, implementation the project, and evaluating the project. The result of this study is that meaningful learning alternatives are obtained for prospective mathematics teacher students in the Computer Basics course so that in the future, they can hone their creativity.

Problem-based scaffolding for prospective mathematics teachers in graph theory course

“…Providing explain clarification for pupils who lack the understanding to accomplish the assigned assignment (Fisher and Frey, 2010;Qamar and Riyadi, 2016;Haryati et al, 2020;Tiaradipa et al, 2020). Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach that places the student at the center of the learning process to promote active engagement and enhance the meaningfulness of the learning experience (Sudarsana et al, 2019;Asrial et al, 2021;Wulandari, Khasanah and Octavianti, 2022;Rafiq, Triyono and Djatmiko, 2023;Ssemugenyi, 2023). Problem-based learning has the potential to generate enthusiasm among students for the study of Graph Theory (Wulandari, Khasanah and Octavianti, 2022).…”
