A Flexible Practicum Model on Education: Hybrid Learning Integrated Remote Laboratory Activity Design

Abstract

This study’s objective was to create a hybrid learning-integrated remote laboratory model with validity and practicality. This model has four learning spaces, namely live synchronous, virtual synchronous, self-paced asynchronous, and collaborative asynchronous, so it can support flexible learning. Besides that, this learning model is also based on cognitivism, connectivism, constructivism, behaviourism learning theories and Bloom’s digital taxonomy. The hybrid learning integrated remote laboratory model consists of six syntaxes: 1) issue; 2) investigation; 3) team discussion to solve problems; 4) experiment using a remote laboratory; 5) analysis and evaluation; and 6) explore new solutions. Focus group discussions (FGD) were used to collect high-quality data by seven experts in learning models, vocational education, language and technology. The hybrid learning-integrated remote laboratory model quality analysis used Aiken’s V. The result showed that the hybrid learning integratedremote laboratory model content is valid, with a validity value of 0.87. The practicality analysis result showed that the average percentage of the assessments from lecturers and students was 88.16%, so it can be concluded that it has a high validity value and is very practical.
