Developing blog-based learning media for basic mechanical engineering subjects

Abstract

This research aims to develop a blog as learning media, analyse the instrument of feasibility test for the blog, and examine the students’ and teachers’ responses to the developing learning media used in basic mechanical engineering subject conducted in vocational high schools of PIRI Sleman and PIRI 1 Yogyakarta. This research employed the research and development method. The data of this study were collected using questionnaires. The results of the study show that this study develops learning media in the form of a blog consisting of six necessary competences of Basic Mechanical Engineering and a website namely https://pdtmsmk.blogspot.com which can be accessed through a gadget anytime and anywhere. In addition, the researchers conduct the feasibility test is readily used and the media go through field tests, and from the tests, a very high score is obtained and that is the blog is feasible.
