Project-based learning is one of the popular and promising approaches in engineering education. The current study reports on a curriculum that was designed and implemented by a graduate school to help students gain knowledge and creative thinking skills through collaboration between different majors during industrial projects in a graduate course on home appliance engineering. The students selected the topics, planned the project, conducted research, produced a prototype, and presented their results under the guidance of a group of advisors consisting of professors, technical advisors, and industry mentors. A quantitative analysis showed that this approach was effective in improving the students’ attitude toward engineering. Furthermore, a qualitative analysis showed that this learning method helped students learn how to communicate and present effectively, to flexibly approach projects, and to understand the practices of industrial research. Based on the findings, the current study discusses how the project-based learning helped students advance.

Abstract- The review was affected by fundamental issues about how to best convey the learning material of Sociology. Team-Based Learning is accepted as a method of learning that can develop critical thinking skills. Team-Based Learning emphasizes opportunities for students to develop the ability to cooperate because it gives greater weight to the discussion (peer discussion) compared to learning by lecture method. This study aimed to determine whether a lecture or Team Based Learning teaches the content material better, develops skills, such as critical thinking; and creates a learning environment that is fun in learning Sociology. Data collection techniques in this study were conducted thorugh the study of literature from books and the results of previous research. The results of this study concluded that Team Based Learning method can improve oral communication and critical thinking skills, and create a more pleasant learning environment than lecture method. Keywords: Effectiveness, Team-based learning, Sociology Abstrak. Kajian ini dipengaruhi oleh isu mendasar tentang bagaimana cara terbaik dalam menyampaikan materi pembelajaran Sosiologi. Team-Based Learning diterima sebagai metode pembelajaran yang dapat mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis. Team-Based Learning menekankan pada kesempatan bagi siswa untuk mengembangkan kemampuan bekerja sama karena memberi bobot lebih besar pada kegiatan diskusi (peer discussion) dibandingkan pembelajaran dengan metode ceramah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dari dua metode yaitu ceramah atau Team Based Learning, metode mana yang lebih baik dalam mengajarkan materi, mengembangkan keterampilan, seperti berpikir kritis; dan menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang menyenangkan dalam belajar Sosiologi. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan melalui studi literatur hasil-hasil penelitian terdahulu. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa metode Team Based Learning dapat meningkatkan komunikasi lisan dan kemampuan berpikir kritis, serta menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang lebih menyenangkan daripada metode ceramah.  Kata Kunci: keefektifan, pembelajaran berbasis kelompok, sosiologi

The article discusses the possibilities of using geoportals as the main source of open digital cartographic data for the development of spatial thinking and skills among students. Currently insufficient attention is being paid to the development of spatial thinking skills among students. The definition of the concept of "geoportal" is given. An analysis of a number of regional geoportals in terms of their content with spatially distributed natural resource data is made as well as the variety of tools provided for working with these data. Conclusions about the criteria that a geoportal recommended for use by students to consolidate their skills in working with geospatial data should meet are made.

Considering what we know about computational thinking, how much of this cognitive domain hangs on one's ability to think spatially? Is spatial thinking a hidden foundational property for developing strong computational thinking skills? If coding is the new literacy for 21st century thinking, educators must diversify their methodology of instruction. Mathematics must not be the only pathway to computational thinking, computer science, and coding. This book chapter opens up new insight into spatial reasoning, showing it as a new viable method to give students the computational thinking skills necessary to thrive in STEM fields. Finally, this chapter presents concepts found in shape grammars as a methodology used to teach students how to approach art and design computationally. With shape, grammars we find computational thinking at the center of creative activities.
