The Effects of Collaborative Learning Models on Engineering Mechanics Learning Outcomes

Abstract

The low learning outcomes in Engineering Mechanics are influenced by the learning model used by the teachers in teaching. The ability of teachers to determine the right learning model will have an impact on the success of student learning and the achievement of learning goals. This paper aims to reveal the influence of Collaborative Learning models on learning outcomes of Engineering Mechanics. The method used in this research is a quasi-experimental method with Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The study sample was 46 people divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The sampling technique was carried out using random sampling, 23 people for the experimental group and 23 people for the control group. Data collection using the learning result test (pre-test and post-test) in the form of objective questions for about 25 questions. The research data were analysed quantitatively using a parametric statistical analysis test with the t-test. Based on the data analysis, the results of the study show that there was a significant effect using the Collaborative Learning model on the learning outcomes of Engineering Mechanics. The experimental group using the Collaborative Learning model had higher learning outcomes than the control group using conventional learning model.
