Guidelines for Efficiency Development of Project Based Learning (PBL) for Administration and Quality Assurance in Education Subject

Abstract

     The purposes of this research were to 1) evaluate learning and teaching arrangement, 2) develop learning and teaching process, 3) evaluate the effectiveness of learning and teaching and 4) purposes the guidelines to develop learning and teaching process. The study used mixed-research methodology consisting of three phases; the first phrase was the evaluation of learning and teaching arrangement; the second phrase was the in-depth research using in-depth interview; and the last phrase was the perception toward learning and teaching arrangement that had been development or rectified. The research instruments were questionnaires and a semi-structured interview. Statistics used to analyze data were frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation and comparison of post-study score with benchmark 80/80. The results found that 1) in general evaluation, the students agreed with learning and teaching arrangement, 2) the students’ opinions toward learning and teaching development showed that learning summarization was the step needed to be developed and rectified in learning and teaching process at the highest level. In term of an interview on teaching style/method found that there should be activities that stimulated students’ interest. In part of handouts/ instructional medias, the medias that were consistent with and related to the students’ activities should be prepared. And, for teaching equipment/place/learning supportive environment, there should be easy and obvious guidelines for students in performing the activities. The post- teaching and learning evaluation result, overall, revealed that the students agreed and satisfied with the result of learning and teaching arrangement at high level, 3) the result of learning effectiveness test comparing with the criteria found that students’ post-learning average scores were higher than specified criteria equal to 87.25 percent, and 4) the proposed guidelines to develop efficient learning and teaching process should follow all 6 steps, that was, 1) basic knowledge education, 2) interest stimulation, 3) group collaboration, 4) knowledge seeking, 5) knowledge summarization, and 6) presentation.
