Innovative Learning Methods Enhance Student Understanding in Biochemistry

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Researchers at Universitas Jambi have adopted a project-based learning approach combined with animated learning videos to improve student understanding and satisfaction in biochemistry courses. This method, titled "Project-based learning innovation through animated learning videos to sharpen students' creativity and understanding," was implemented in a pre-experimental design involving 64 students. The results showed a significant increase in student understanding and satisfaction, with a higher average score compared to conventional methods.

Key Takeaways:

  • The research shifted the learning paradigm from Teacher-Centred Learning (TCL) to Student-Centred Learning (SCL), emphasizing active student participation.
  • Project-Based Learning (PjBL) combined with Animated Learning Video (ALV) was found to be effective in increasing students' understanding of biochemistry courses.
  • The method was applied to two classes with 64 students using total sampling techniques.
  • The research results demonstrated a higher average score compared to conventional methods and improved students' satisfaction in studying biochemistry.
  • The approach also improved students' creativity and understanding, but requires repetition and collaboration with other methods to deepen students' memory.
  • The study involved Universitas Jambi and Universitas Negeri Malang, with the latter publishing the research in the "Jurnal Inovasi dan Teknologi Pembelajaran".
  • Elisma Elisma from Universitas Jambi was involved in the research.

Statistics:

  • 64 students participated in the study using total sampling techniques.
  • The research results showed a higher average score compared to conventional methods.
  • The approach improved students' satisfaction in studying biochemistry.
  • The study was published in the "Jurnal Inovasi dan Teknologi Pembelajaran" (Vol. 12, No. 1, 2025).
  • The research was conducted in a pre-experimental design.
