Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh kevalidan, kepraktisan dan kemenarikan untuk produk pengembangan materi keterampilan mengajar berbasis Problem Based Learning untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Jambi yang disusun kedalam bentuk modul belajar. Langkah – langkah yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini mengikuti langkah – langkah Model Dick, Carrey & Carrey (2009) yang disederhanakan menjadi sembilan dari sepuluh langkah yang ada. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu angket validasi ahli angket kepraktisan dari teman sejawat dan uji kemenarikan dari mahasiswa. Dari hasil uji kelayakan produk pengembangan pada hasil uji validasi ahli mendapat skor presentase sebesar 84,62%, produk yang sudah dikembangkan sangat layak untuk digunakan. Uji kepraktisan berdasarkan hasil tanggapan dosen terhadap modul belajar sebesar 91,2 %, produk yang dikembangkan masuk dalan kategori kriteria digunakan tanpa revisi. Pada uji kepraktisan melalui tanggapan perserta didik diperoleh hasil dengan presentase rata-rata sebesar 75,16%, hasil ini berada pada tingkat kualifikasi layak. Kata Kunci: problem based learning, kompetensi pedagogik Abstract This study aims to obtain validity, practicality and attractiveness for the development of teaching skills based on Problem Based Learning materials to improve the pedagogical competence of students of the Jambi University Language and Literature Education Study Program at the University of Jambi which is organized into learning modules. The steps taken in this study follow the steps of Model Dick, Carrey & Carrey (2009) which are simplified into nine of the ten steps. The instruments used in this study were expert validation questionnaires from practical questionnaires from peers and tests of student interest. From the results of the product development feasibility test on the results of the expert validation test got a percentage score of 84.62%, the products that have been developed are very feasible to use. Practicality test based on the results of the lecturers' responses to the learning module was 91.2%, the products developed in the criteria category were used without revision. In the practicality test through student responses obtained results with an average percentage of 75.16%, these results are at the level of eligibility. Keywords: problem based learning, pedagogic competence

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional approach that fosters active learning, supports knowledge construction, integrates disciplines, and naturally combines classroom learning with real-life applications. This approach can be described as student-centered and concept-embedded. This paper presents the development of curricular materials in Engineering Thermodynamics that are founded on PBL, supported by technology through simulations, and target higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning. Thermodynamics is restructured as modules presenting practical applications first whereas principles are introduced just-in-time and as encountered. Theoretical information is presented to support the understanding of knowledge as students apply inquiry-based learning. These modules are carefully designed to reflect traditional concepts but made more exciting as students discover the need for the laws and principles. The classroom format is interactive, cooperative and revolves around students’ needs. Formative and summative assessment tools are designed to examine the effectiveness of created modules.

The rapid development of deep foundation pit engineering, has become an important part of the urbanization construction, which brings deep excavation support of geotechnical engineering problem research also became a major issue. This paper uses the international well-known geotechnical engineering numerical simulation software FLAC3D, through 3D finite difference numerical calculation and analysis, to better simulation calculation and analysis of deep foundation pit construction site condition, forecast after excavation of the deep foundation pit deformation displacement and dangerous position, analysis of deep foundation pit excavation process isolation pile - steel shotcrete combined support effect. Three dimensional numerical model analysis and calculation in deep foundation pit engineering design and construction scheme optimization with economy is convenient wait for a obvious advantages, can for deep foundation pit excavation of deep foundation pit support design and construction to provide effective basis.

There are two purposes of this study: 1) To generate student understanding of scientific learning approach to improve student comprehension on Biology concept at SMAN 1 Samarinda. 2) To generate integrated learning tools development between Problem Based Learning and Discovery Learning to improve comprehension on Biology concept at SMAN 1 Samarinda. In accordance with teacher needs, observation results analysed using descriptive qualitative methods, three main findings were obtained:  1) teachers were still likely to encounter difficulties when applying teaching and learning process in class, 2) The main difficulties experienced by teachers were due to time constraints in developing learning tools, 3) The learning tools development of the  Problem Based Learning and Discovery Learning integrated learning model were considered to be important to improve student comprehension on Biology concept. The learning model used was the Problem Based Learning and Discovery Learning Integrated Learning Model .

Problem-based Learning (PBL) is a motivating, problem-centered teaching method with exciting potential in engineering education. PBL can be used in engineering education to bridge the gap between theory and practice in a gradual way. The most common problem encountered when attempting to integrate PBL into the undergraduate engineering classroom is the time requirement to complete a significant, useful problem. Because PBL has such potential in engineering, mathematics, and science education, professors from engineering, mathematics, and physics have joined together to solve small pieces of a large engineering problem concurrently in an effort to reduce the time required to solve a complex problem in any one class. This is a pilot project for a National Science Foundation (NSF) supported Science Talent Expansion Program (STEP) grant entitled Increasing Numbers, Connections, and Retention in Science and Engineering (INCRSE) (NSF 0622442). The students involved are undergraduate mechanical engineering students that are co-enrolled in Engineering Statics, Calculus II, and Engineering Physics I. These classes are linked using PBL to increase both student engagement and success. The problem addresses concepts taught in class, reinforces connections among the courses, and provides real-world applications. Student, faculty, and industry assessment of the problem reveals a mutually beneficial experience that provides a link for students between in-class concepts and real-world application. This method of problem-based learning provides a practical application that can be used in engineering curricula.
