Project Based Learning, e-learning, microlearning, Object Oriented ProgrammingAbstract
The low achievement in programming courses among students in the Software Engineering program is influenced by the limited availability of interactive learning media, which negatively affects students’ learning motivation and engagement. This study aims to develop a project-based learning medium delivered through e-learning with a microlearning approach to improve learning outcomes in Object-Oriented Programming courses. The learning media were developed using the ADDIE model, which consists of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research participants were vocational high school students enrolled in the Software Engineering program at SMKN One Sukawati. The findings indicate that the developed learning media demonstrate very high levels of validity and practicality based on expert evaluations and student trial results. Furthermore, the implementation of the learning media was shown to enhance students’ learning outcomes with an excellent criteria. These findings suggest that integrating project-based learning through e-learning with a microlearning approach represents an effective solution for improving the quality of programming education in vocational high schools.
