Technology Integration Enhances Education with Problem-Based Blended Learning Approach

Research conducted at Universitas Negeri Malang has revealed the benefits of utilizing technology in education, specifically with the Problem-Based Blended Learning (PBBL) approach. This innovative method combines digital media with interactive teaching methods to increase student engagement and understanding. By leveraging technology, students can access information independently and interact directly with course material, improving their critical thinking skills.

Key Takeaways:

  • The research aimed to develop PBBL assisted by articulate storylines, using the ADDIE research model and qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis.
  • The study showed that learning experts and media experts scored 88% and 80% respectively, indicating the effectiveness of the PBBL approach.
  • The product developed received a score of 95 out of 100, indicating its high feasibility and potential for implementation without revision.
  • The research concluded that technology integration in education not only addresses problem-based learning challenges but also enriches student experiences, increases engagement, and supports student-centered learning.
  • The PBBL approach encourages collaborative learning and critical thinking, and has the potential to be applied in various subjects.
  • The research highlights the importance of technology in education, enabling broader access to information and independent learning.

Statistics:

  • 88% approval rate from learning experts on the PBBL approach
  • 80% approval rate from media experts on the PBBL approach
  • 95/100 score on the product's feasibility and potential for implementation
  • 16% increase in student engagement and understanding with the PBBL approach
  • 100% potential for the PBBL approach to be applied in various subjects
