Development of Project-Based Learning Teaching Materials of the Dissertation Supporting Course to Improve Students' Abilities in Compiling Research Proposal in Order to Realize SDGs - 4 (Quality Education)

Abstract

Based on the national qualification framework, doctoral students must have the ability to carry out research to produce creative, original, and tested work through inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary approaches. This research is aimed to develop the project-based learning teaching materials of Dissertation Supporting Course to improve students' abilities in compiling research proposal. This research is developmental research using a modified Research and Development (R & D) model. This research is limited to the preliminary study stage, which includes literature study, field survey, initial product preparation followed by validation of product  by experts (expert judgment) and product revision. The teaching materials   developed consist of the lesson plan, student activity sheets,  and assessment of project product. The research data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The research results showed that the teaching materials developed, namely the lesson plan, student activity sheets, and assessment of project product  had high validity, with an average  Aiken value of 0.92, 0,90 and 0.89,  respectively. Thus, these teaching materials   can be implemented in learning Dissertation Supporting courses to improve students' abilities in compiling research proposal in order to realize SDGs-4 (Quality Education).
