Technology Empowerment in Learning: Student Perspective Study on Virtual Laboratory to Support Independent Learning in Independent Campus

Virtual laboratory is one of the solutions that can be used for practical or experimental activities in the context of independent learning on an independent campus, which is carried out outside the laboratory, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in practice, there are several obstacles so the use of virtual laboratories has not been massive. This study aims to analyze the student’s perspective on the virtual laboratory in forcing conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method uses a survey with a questionnaire technique to capture the perspectives of students of the Biology Education Study Program at one of the universities in West Java. The perspectives studied include innovation, urgency, usefulness, and motivation which are grouped into positive and negative perspectives. The results showed that most of the students had a positive perspective on the virtual laboratory by 81.64%, and a negative perspective of 18.36%. Among the four indicators, motivation is the smallest positive perspective although it is larger than the negative perspective. This research can give the conclusion that the virtual laboratory needs to be continuously developed along with the improvement of students’ technological skills or literacy.

Independent Campus Student Exchange Sentiment Analysis Using SVM

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a machine learning method that is widely used for regression and classification problems, especially application review classification. Student exchange is one of the programs that universities must prepare. The student exchange program is intended to reduce the problem of disparities in educational facilities and infrastructure in Indonesia. The advantage of student exchange is that they can manage their time, have high awareness in communicating, are able to admit when they experience problems and need help, independent student exchange offers study options of up to 20 credits, both covering Higher Education Recipients courses and activities in the form of the Nusantara Module. Additionally, students are offered the option to register for a maximum of 6 credits of higher education online. The method used in this research is the SVM algorithm, the dataset used consists of 1000 comment reviews with a ratio of 70;30. This research was implemented in a web system using the Python programming language. Of the 300 test data implemented with 700 training data. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm in classifying review data obtained the highest accuracy in dividing training data & test data 70:30 at 85.00% then precision 28.33%, recall 33.33%

The Effectiveness of Learning using the Case Method in Building Construction Drawing Courses

College tall is one of the essential pillars in shaping the future generation, the successors of our nation. They must be capable of thinking quickly and precisely to tackle every problem and challenge in life. As challenges, demands, and competition, particularly in the world of work, continue to escalate, it becomes increasingly crucial for individuals to adapt their learning methods to keep pace with current curricula and developments. One of the latest advancements in the realm of education, especially in higher education, is the implementation of the Independent Campus Learning (MBKM) curriculum. MBKM represents a significant breakthrough, and all students studying at universities must adapt to it. In the Building Engineering Education Study Program at FT-UNP Civil Engineering Department, subjects like Building Drawing Construction are offered, focusing on developing essential skills. This subject covers a range of materials, from understanding soil characteristics for building foundations to drawing construction plans for various building components. Through methods like action research, students engage in three cycles of study, involving planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Research conducted on Semester IV students in the 2021/2022 Academic Year at Padang State University revealed significant improvements in student performance. In Cycle I, the class average score was 72.3, with subsequent cycles showing steady progress, reaching an average score of 81.15 in Cycle III. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the action-based learning approach in enhancing students' understanding and performance in Building Drawing Construction. It underscores the importance of dynamic teaching methodologies in preparing students for the challenges of the future workforce. With continued refinement and adaptation, initiatives like MBKM can play a pivotal role in shaping a skilled and competent workforce for tomorrow's society.

THE INTERACTIVITY OF VIRTUAL LANGUAGE CLASS IN INDONESIA (A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY)

Inspired by lecturers’ experience of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) during the COVID-19 pandemic, this phenomenological study presents an attempt at producing recommendations for the future construction of virtual language classes in Indonesia. The employed methodology was to carry out a focus group interview in order to collect research data and analyze them through Giorgi’s (2012) 5-step procedure. First, researchers read the transcribed interview to get the whole sense of data while, in their efforts, reducing them into themes. Second, the absence of research bias was assured throughout data reduction. Third, meaningful comments were separated in order to group explicit phenomena according to their themes. Fourth, the themes were examined to structure the recorded participants’ perceptions, and finally the structure was clarified and interpreted. Three themes emerged and were structured to produce recommendations for the future construction of virtual language classes in Indonesia. Further research needs to be conducted to investigate the effective peer-teaching to increase the interactivity of students’ learning in virtual language classes and the absence of a virtual classroom model recommended in The Guidelines for The Development of Higher Education Curriculum in the Industrial Era 4.0 to Support Independent Learning – Independent Campus issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
