Online courses are gaining popularity because they provide extensive and varied course material, information, knowledge, and skills, whilst also creating an effective educational online community. This research adopts a case study approach to focus on the teaching method and the manner in which a strategic commitment to eLearning provides scope for the development and implementation of top quality educational online fully accredited programs. Entrepreneurship focuses on developing businesses that add value and create wealth and prosperity in our societies. Therefore, entrepreneurship is a key area of learning for graduate students seeking to set up and operate their own SME organizations. It can serve as a benchmark for the teaching of other graduate subjects that require a sound correlation for the correlation of concepts and theories to the challenging complexities of the real world. The program was developed on the basis of the implementation of a state-of-the-art eLearning platform that allowed for a combination of varied self-learning and collaborative learning elements and activities within a single platform. This enabled students to access the online content material efficiently and effectively. It allows for the development of a program based on the flipped classroom teaching methodology. The underlying concept of the flipped classroom methodology is that effective eLearning should comprise both synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. This combination of self-learning and collaborative learning calls for careful planning by the tutor to ensure that the learning objectives are clearly defined for each activity and that the relevant deliverables are monitored. The content material for each subject course module was designed, developed, produced, and presented by the different project partners in a holistic manner structured to motivate participants to learn. The results of our analysis have shown that students were able to learn, discuss their projects, and cooperate during an online course in an effective and participant-focused manner with their tutors. The feedback given highlights the importance of ongoing communications between students and the tutors who often need to act as mentors to retain student engagement.

This paper makes a detailed analysis of the integrated mining algorithm, analyzes the characteristics of curriculum big data, and analyzes the existing problems of the current association rule mining algorithm, as well as the defects and deficiencies when applied to the curriculum data. Aiming at the problem of mining the entire data set by the mining algorithm, this topic proposes the idea of using the K-means algorithm for clustering processing and uses the Ball-tree structure on the basis of the original K-means algorithm to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. The data set is separated into several clusters of an appropriate number. In the flipped classroom, the basic knowledge is put before the class for learning, and the further deepening and practical application of language knowledge is completed in the class. Teachers can give timely guidance when encountering unsolvable difficulties so that students’ learning can be more effective. This new teaching model not only strengthens students’ confidence in learning and increases their interest in learning, but also increases the opportunities for students to interact with teachers and classmates in the classroom, allowing them to construct the meaning of knowledge in the fun of interactive communication. The classroom has become relaxed, lively, and attractive, and students’ sense of autonomy, self-learning ability, and collaborative inquiry ability have also been unknowingly improved. Among the main factors, the willingness to flip, emotional state, leadership role, and online learning input have a significant positive impact on collaborative learning performance, and the sense of competition has a partial negative impact on collaborative learning performance, of which positively affecting individual knowledge mastery. Among the nonmain factors, the degree of difficulty of the course, teacher-student interaction, teacher motivation, and evaluation mechanism have a significant positive impact on collaborative learning performance. Classroom assistive technology has a partial negative impact on collaborative learning performance. From the perspective of group performance, group-level performance considerations such as the quality of group conversations and the degree of group knowledge sharing in collaborative learning performance are more affected by nonsubject factors.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui soft skills peserta didik pada pembelajaan materi redoks dan tata nama senyawa kimia dengan model flipped classroom-collaborative learning. Penelitian dilakukan di salah satu SMA Negeri di Jakarta dengan 36 peserta didik kelas X sebagai subyek penelitian. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan instrumen wawancara, lembar observasi, reflektif jurnal, catatan lapangan, kuesioner serta tes hasil belajar. Flipped classroom-collaborative learning adalah model pembelajaran dimana peserta didik mempelajari materi pelajaran di luar kelas melalui video pembelajaran, dan kegiatan belajar di dalam kelas dilakukan dengan pembelajaran kolaboratif yang menekankan pada aktivitas peserta didik dalam kelompok, meliputi kerja sama, sharing knowledge, mengkonstruksi pemahaman bersama, dan bertanggung jawab terhadap kelompok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan soft skills peserta didik yang muncul meliputi keterampilan komunikasi, keterampilan kolaborasi dan literasi teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK). Penerapan model flipped classroom-collaborative learning memberikan kemudahan bagi peserta didik untuk memahami materi pelajaran di dalam maupun di luar kelas, mereview materi pelajaran, membantu peserta didik yang pasif, dan dapat digunakan sebagai panduan dalam mengerjakan tugas serta mempersiapkan tes. Selain itu, model pembelajaran ini juga berdampak positif terhadap hasil belajar peserta didik.  Kata kunci : Flipped classroom, Collaborative learning, Soft skills, Redoks
