The Blended Learning Model Through Project-Based Learning Combined with the Creative Problem-Solving Process Aims to Promote Creative Problem-Solving Skills Among Higher Vocational Certificate Students

Abstract

          The objectives of this research were 1) to develop a project-based blended learning model combined with a creative problem-solving process to promote creative problem-solving for vocational certificate students. 2) To evaluate a project-based blended learning model combined with a creative problem-solving process to promote creative problem-solving for higher vocational certificate students. The target group used in the study is a group of experts in in-depth interviews, aimed at collecting opinions and suggestions on the development of learning patterns. resulting in a sample of 11 people. A group of qualified experts was to evaluate the learning style, resulting in a sample of 5 people. The instrument used for data collection were a structured in-depth interview form and an assessment form to evaluate the suitability of the learning style. Statistics used to analyze the data were the average, standard deviation.
          The results of the research found that 1) elements of the project-based learning model combined with the creative problem-solving process to promote creative problem-solving of higher vocational certificate students, consisting of a teacher module, content module, learner module, and learning process module which outlines 5 steps as follows: Step 1 Identify the problem, Step 2 Explore problem-solving approaches, Step3 Choose a problem-solving approach, Step 4 practice problem-solving, Step 5 summarize and present the results. Additionally, the model includes measurement and evaluation modules. and 2) The suitability of the learning model in all 4 aspects, including appropriateness, feasibility, and the validity of utilization. Experts are of the opinion that the overall situation is appropriate at the highest level
