The application of Research Based Learning Model in electric power system protection course

Abstract

The learning model should be adapted to the learning needs of today and the future. The achievement of student learning in each competency courses one of which depends the learning model used. Among the models of learning that develop current that brings the students can develop their ability in mastering the learning material is Research Based Learning (RBL) model. This model focuses on the students as learning resources that integrate research in learning. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of student learning on courses of electric power system protection after used RBL model. This study applies the nine-step RBL model in courses of electric power system protection consisting of identifying research topic, objectives and research question, research tools both data collection tools and intervention tools, applying theory, research methodology and design, data analysis, results and discussion, recommendation, and strengthen of the research. After using the RBL model in learning then an increase in measurable student learning outcomes in the assessment of the effectiveness of formative and summative evaluation.
