Abstract

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has changed face-to-face learning to on-line learning methods. Now, there are several alternatives available, but it is most likely that on-line learning for mechanical engineering drawing with interactive e-modules equipped with exercises will continue. In this on-line environment, students can practise drawing independently through self-regulated learning - they are free to organise their own learning. This study aimed to analyse student learning outcomes after implementing on-line learning supported by e-modules for mechanical engineering drawing at the beginning and end of the learning process. A one group pre-test - post-test research strategy was used in this quasi-experimental study with data analysed using the parametric paired-sample test. The findings indicate that students’ learning outcomes improved significantly as evidenced by the hypothesis test’s results with the value of significance < than 0.05 or Ho was rejected. In addition, the average value of student learning outcomes also increased, as the pre-test value was 59.88 and after the implementation of on-line learning assisted by e-modules, the post-test value increased to 89.20. © 2024 WIETE
