In this paper, we strive to provide a primer for students on how to thrive and learn effectively in engineering education in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) times following the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has disrupted the educational enterprise massively with universities physically closing in many parts of the world and students and faculty transitioning to remote learning. While our immediate focus in this paper is on engineering education functioning in an outcome-based education (OBE) environment, the global paradigm mandated by the Washington Accord that aims to standardize engineering competencies in terms of the attained student learning outcomes, our ideas are general and broadly useful for learners of all types. We will describe seven evidence-based steps that the students can adopt to thrive in OBE settings in these challenging times. The main contribution of this paper is practical: we present a synthesis of the vast research literature on effective student learning in normal, online, and disrupted settings to present practical insights that students can leverage to substantially improve their learning.

In this paper, we strive to provide a primer for students on how to thrive and learn effectively in engineering education in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) times following the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has disrupted the educational enterprise massively with universities physically closing in many parts of the world and students and faculty transitioning to remote learning. Although the immediate audience assumed in this paper comprises engineering students (such as those enrolled in electrical, electronics, or computer engineering programs) studying in an outcome-based education (OBE) environment—the global educational paradigm mandated by the Washington Accord that aims to standardize engineering competencies in terms of the attained student learning outcomes—the presented ideas are more general and broadly useful for learners of all types. We will describe seven evidence-based steps that the students can adopt to thrive in OBE settings in these challenging times. The main contribution of this paper is practical: we present a synthesis of the vast research literature on effective student learning in normal, online, and disrupted settings to present practical insights that students can leverage to substantially improve their learning. At the end of the paper, we also present a discussion of important issues related to remote teaching and online education such as ensuring equity and the handling of lab work for engineers in such settings (e.g., through simulators and virtual labs).

Since the policy of sending students home to study as a result of responding to the dangers of the pandemic, universities around the world have increasingly trusted distance learning solutions. The solution was to rely on digital literacy to continue and improve student learning outcomes during the COVID-19 disruption. For this reason, the researchers have proven it through analytical efforts and in-depth studies in several international publications. In short, the researchers examined each piece of evidence with a phenomenological approach to get answers to research questions that are among other things, involve a data coding system, critical evaluation, and drawing of valid and reliable final results. The data discussion concludes that world universities believe that digital technology that was increasingly trending can become a learning innovation even though the world will continue to hit global education. Hence, the researchers hope that these findings should support other studies in the future. Keywords: Digital Literacy, Learning Outcomes, Entrust Digital Literacy

Understanding mathematics in a large dictionary of Indonesian language mathematics is the science of numbers, the relationship between numbers and operational procedures used in solving number problems. Trigonometry is an important mathematical science in everyday life. Trigonometry applications in everyday life cover all fields such as economics, engineering, and more. With trigonometry we can measure the height of a tree at a certain distance without having to climb it. And also trigonometry is to know, understand the shape and formula of a triangle. A triangle consists of 3 sides, namely the front side, side side and the sloping side. One of the main objectives of trigonometric material is to find the value of the angle or length of the side of a triangle. Thus the trigometry application is very important to be studied in the world of education, but in reality students are still having difficulty working on the questions given. From the answers that have been done by students, researchers are inspired to examine using the application of discovery learning models with grebeg suro on student learning outcomes on trigonometry topics. So that students can better understand trigonometry applications that are useful for everyday life.

Education opens numerous revenues to register economic expansion all around the world with specific reference to developing nations. Advancement of Pakistan in education indicators has been severely insufficient during the previous decades. Decreased financing along with inefficiency in budget expenditure plus weak management system have crippled the education sector ensuing poor educational outcomes. Outcome-based Education (OBE) has recently gained much attention in Pakistan. OBE is used in education because it clearly focuses and organizes everything in an educational system around what is necessary for all students to be able to do at the end of their learning. OBE proposes an influential and interesting option of transforming and organizing medical education. Therefore, the basic aim of this review is to highlight the tertiary education system of Pakistan and the need to shift from teacher centered to Outcome Based Education system. The review also addresses the major factors that impact student learning outcomes. Data bases were searched including Cochrane and Medline. Search strategy was designed by combining Boolean operators and key terms related to review objectives. Seven studies were included in the paper regarding the effectiveness of Outcome Based Education in different disciplines of education. The findings suggested five important factors from the literature that impact student learning outcomes including, assessment strategies, learning objectives based on level of complexity, student preferred learning styles, English language competency and Employer requirements. However, limitations were recognized in the methodology section and further recommendations were given for future researchers.

Gamification is a subject of a great deal of conversations and advocates believe that the familiarity of gaming to the current student population gives it considerable potential to transform teaching and learning. The research literature presents a more ambiguous view and it remains to be seen whether or not gamifying instruction can significantly strengthen student learning outcomes. This question forms the basis of the current study, which focuses on an extensive gamification exercise applied in an upper-division interdisciplinary course. To phrase it colloquially, this research asks whether or not gamification is too cool for school.

There is now an assumption that “working from home” will become a normal work culture for most of us (teachers, and students). In Indonesia, some teachers have to do homework assignments (continuously and as a controlled routine) on an ongoing basis. This means that they have the opportunity to be unproductive to work in a completely new environment and without leadership supervision (intensively). However, there are a number of ways to get around this problem, especially preventing teachers from being confused in applying appropriate and effective learning models, as well as sustainable professional development, surely wanting to be productive in utilizing time during the Covid 19 pandemic. Thus time management must be carried out and controlled properly to improve the quality of professionalism of teachers as professional educators. The solution, the teaching staff is required to be able to design learning media as an innovation by utilizing online media. This research is motivated by the learning outcomes of Building Engineering Education students who program Foundation Engineering courses which are still relatively low under a score of 60 (C value). Hybrid learning is a hybrid learning concept that integrates traditional class sessions and e-learning elements in an effort to combine the benefits of the two forms of learning. The purpose of this study is to determine student learning outcomes after the application of the hybrid learning model. This type of research is descriptive research. Quantitative data in the form of numbers or scores obtained from student learning outcomes tests. This research was conducted from October 2020 to December 2020 at the Building Engineering Education FKIP, Palangka Raya University. The research subjects were students of the Building Engineering Education 2020/2021 Academic Year who program Foundation Engineering Courses.

This article describe about facilities and infrastructure. In the world of education we recognize the term school facilities and infrastructure which is something that is needed in supporting teaching and learning activities in schools. If an institution such as a school does not have adequate facilities and infrastructure it will also have an impact on the quality of student learning outcomes in school. To ensure the realization of this, it is necessary to have adequate facilities and infrastructure. Adequate facilities and infrastructure must meet the minimum conditions stipulated in the standards of facilities and infrastructure. The standards of these facilities and infrastructure are for the scope of formal education and even the type of general education. These facilities and infrastructure are also equipment and facilities that can be used either directly or indirectly, where the purpose of the administration of these facilities and infrastructure is no other so that all these activities can support the achievement of educational objectives effectively and efficiently.
