Integrating Animation and Graphic in Problem Based Learning to Improve Students Achievement in Engineering Drawing Course

Problem-based Learning is a teaching pedagogy which students learn based on experience and prior knowledge. Students learn and execute the information based on ill structured problem. The purpose of this study to investigate whether or not the use of animation or graphic in problem-based learning can increase achievement among polytechnic student in Engineering Drawing. So that, Problem Based Learning (PBL) using the animation mode (PBL-A) and graphics mode (PBL-G) is implemented in class. Presentation of problem in graphic and animation is process repeated attempts to help students interpret engineering drawings work steps correctly and accurately. This study examined the effects of PBL-A online and PBL-G online against achievement of students in polytechnics. A total of 68 students of mechanical engineering has been involved in this study. The instrument used was a test set containing two question will be given to students in topic Isometric Projection. Results showed significant differences in mean scores post-test of achievement among students who enrolled in PBL-G with the group of student who attended PBL-A online after the effect of pre-test mean score is controlled. Therefore, the effect of animation modes have a positive impact on improving student achievement in engineering drawing course.
