The Effect of Online Problem Based Learning Model With Google Classroom on Motorcycle Electrical System Maintenance Knowledge of Vocational High School Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of online problem-based learning (PBL) model with google classroom on Motorcycle Electrical System Maintenance (MESM) Knowledge of Vocational High School (VHS) students. This research used the Participatory Action Research approach of Kemmis and Mc. Taggart on Google classroom tool involved the use of the descriptive, interpretive mode of observation and data collection. The research design used One Groups PretestPosttest to analyse quantitative data of students’ MESM knowledge. We observed students’ activities on five aspects of attitude, including problem-solving skills and converted to quantitative scores 1 – 4 of the criteria scales. We decided on the criteria of attitude observed score of 35 students involved at low, enough, good, and very good categories. The result showed that there were dynamic students’ activities in positive on online PBL with google classroom at Cycle I enough category, Cycle II enough category, and Cycle III good category. Moreover, the analysis used t-test showed significant differences between pretest and posttest students’ MESM knowledge. The implementation of the online PBL model with google classrooms effectively promoted positive learning activities and high-order thinking skills and enhanced MESM knowledge of VHS students.
