Abstract

SPADA Brightspace is an e-learning platform designed for online Teacher Professional program learning activities. This platform has become a virtual learning environment with no boundaries of space and time between educators and students for a long time. It is equipped with various learning features and learning progress recorded by the system. This paper aims to determine the effectiveness of using SPADA Brightspace in improving pedagogical skills of participants in the Teacher Professional program. This research uses a quantitative approach using One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Also, the effectiveness was measured by the result of pre and post-test given to the participants based on several indicators such as the ability to design course plan (RPP), to compile teaching materials, to produce learning media, to create student activity sheets (LKPD), and to make evaluation instruments. By using descriptive statistical analysis, this study found that the SPADA Brightspace platform was effectively used for improving pedagogical skills of participants.

Highlights

In the Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, education has increasingly developed in direct proportion to technological developments
Blended learning gives new colors to the world of education. This means that online learning does not necessarily shift the existence of face-to-face learning models such as project-based learning models [6], [7], problem-based learning [8], [9], cultural valuebased learning [10]–[12], and outdoor learning for experiential skills [3], [13]
This study involved all participants of the Teacher Professional Program (PPG) in Phase 2 of the Social Studies Course, which were 49 people (2 participants did not complete the online learning process)

Summary

Introduction

In the Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, education has increasingly developed in direct proportion to technological developments. It is said that online learning is a way that allows eliminating the boundaries of space and time [1]–[3] It means that flexible education has been created [4], [5] in various parts of the world. Blended learning gives new colors to the world of education This means that online learning does not necessarily shift the existence of face-to-face learning models such as project-based learning models [6], [7], problem-based learning [8], [9], cultural valuebased learning [10]–[12], and outdoor learning for experiential skills [3], [13]. All of this must be considered as progress that makes it easy to achieve the goals of education
