Q & A

What is the main focus of the research project presented in the script?

The research focuses on optimizing the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Case-Based Learning (CBL) to assess their impact on the implementation of Civic Education (PKn) activities in higher education, specifically at the Institute of Informatics and Business Darmajaya.

What specific program or research activities were conducted prior to this project?

In 2020, the Informatics Engineering study program at Darmajaya received a grant for two BKM activities: internships and student exchange programs. These activities were conducted independently and were part of the institution's ongoing initiatives.

What is the goal of the PBL and CBL approaches mentioned in the script?

The goal is to design learning activities that integrate both research and community service, ensuring that student projects contribute to the wider community and align with the competencies and profiles of graduates.

What challenge is highlighted regarding the learning system at Darmajaya?

The challenge is that the learning processes across different study programs were previously isolated, and there was a need to increase collaborative and participatory learning within the classroom, particularly focusing on the PKn subject.

How did the research team try to implement improvements for collaborative and participatory learning?

The research team introduced PBL and CBL methods in the classroom, collaborated with experts from the University of Lampung to discuss RPS (learning syllabi) that integrate these methods, and aimed to make student projects relevant to both research and community service.

What is the expected long-term benefit of student projects mentioned in the script?

The long-term benefit is that student projects should not be limited to academic publications or confined to the university's library, but instead should have a practical impact on the community, contributing to students' profiles as future alumni or entrepreneurs.

What strategy was used to enhance the skills of the faculty members?

Faculty members were provided with training (referred to as 'coaching') to help them better guide students in executing projects and to ensure that PBL and CBL were effectively implemented in their courses.

What role do Virgo and research groups play in the planned project implementation?

Virgo and research groups are key to formulating and optimizing PBL and CBL methodologies within each course. They are expected to actively participate in developing these methods across various study programs to ensure consistency and effectiveness.

What are the expected outcomes of this project for Darmajaya's learning environment?

The expected outcome is an improved and integrated learning environment where student projects are not only academically significant but also contribute to community service and research, fostering a more collaborative and participatory approach to learning.

How does this research relate to the broader educational goals at Darmajaya?

This research aligns with Darmajaya's broader educational goals of enhancing the quality of education through innovative teaching methods, increasing the relevance of student projects, and improving collaborative learning across all study programs.
