The Implementation of Group Investigation E-Task in Activities Learning (GIETAL) in Higher Education

Abstract

This study aimed to implement a learning model developed by the Group Investigation E-Task in Activities Learning (GIETAL) model for theoretical learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The learning process that previously used conventional methods has been changed to online learning. For this reason, a practical and effective learning model is needed for students in higher education. The method used was the GIETAL model founded on the ADDIE method. The data processed after implementing this model were from the respondents consisting of 54 students of two lecturers. The results of testing the practicality of this study had a practical level of 86.66%. It could be concluded that the GIETAL Model is beneficial in teaching Database Design courses during the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this implemented learning model was proven to improve student learning outcomes effectively; this was underlined by 51 students (94.44%) graduating and passing the minimum criteria set in the semester learning plan. This research's final result was implementing a practical and effective GIETAL learning model for university students.
