The Project-based Learning using Design Thinking Model via Metaverse to Enhance Buddhism Innovators

Abstract

The project-based learning using design thinking model via metaverse to enhance Buddhism innovators is integrating project-based and design thinking processes. Besides, using technology in the virtual world promotes learning activities. The model focused on allowing learners to study independently with instructors as counselors and facilitating learning to encourage learners to Buddhism innovators, to spread Buddhism by organizing learning activities in a virtual environment. This research aims to create and study the results of developing project-based learning model using design thinking via metaverse to enhance Buddhism innovators. The samples were five experts in developing the model from various institutions in higher education, selected by purposive sampling. The results showed that 1) the project-based learning model using design thinking consists of preparation, define topics, create and test, present and evaluate, and 2) evaluating the appropriateness of the proposed model. It was found that (2.1) Project-based learning models using design thinking via metaverse (Integrated elements) are appropriate at the level of highest, (2.2) The project-based learning model using design thinking via metaverse (Individual element) is appropriate at the highest level, (2.3) The learning process with a project-based learning model using design thinking via metaverse is appropriate at the highest level, and (2.4) A project-based learning model based on design thinking via metaverse (Implementation), is appropriate at the highest level. It found that a project-based learning model using design thinking via metaverse can be a guideline for learning to enhance Buddhism innovators.

The Implementation of Project-Based Learning in Higher Education: A Case Study in the Indonesian Context

“…The steps contained in project-based learning include the process of preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The whole series of activities is carried out to develop students' ability to think critically, creatively, communicatively, collaboratively, and as a solution to problems that arise (Trilling & Fadel, 2009;Sisamud et al, 2023). The ability to think critically is to make the students able to analyze and implement the higher order thinking skills.…”

The Effect of Edmodo-Based Project Based Learning on Students' Critical Thinking Skills: Meta-analysis

“…Students are trained to work independently managing resources and time in order to complete projects well (Yayu et al 2023). This model is also effective for collaborative learning because students need to work together in small groups to complete project assignments (Sisamud et al,2023;Lim et al 2023). Projectbased learning models also help students learn about the real world and apply their academic knowledge in authentic learning activities.…”
