Effects of problem-based learning model and collaborative learning model on the learning outcomes of mechanics engineering

Abstract

The ability of teachers to determine the right learning model will have an impact on the students' learning outcomes and the achievement of learning objectives. The low students' learning outcomes in Mechanics Engineering is influenced by the learning model used by the teacher in teaching. This paper aims to determine differences in the effect of problem-based learning model and collaborative learning model on the learning outcome in Mechanics Engineering. This method used in this research is a quasi-experimental method with a non- equivalent control group design. The study sample consisted of 62 people divided into two groups, namely the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 2. The sampling technique was carried out using random sampling, 31 people for the experimental group 1 and 31 people for the experimental group 2. Data collection using the learning result test (pre-test and post-test) in the form of objective questions for about 25 questions. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques and inferential statistical analysis techniques, namely the t-test. Based on data analysis, the results showed that there were significant differences in the effect of problem-based learning model and collaborative learning model on the learning outcomes in Mechanics Engineering. The experimental group 1 using problem-based learning model had higher learning outcomes than the experimental group 2 using collaborative learning model.
