Abstract

The Interface and Peripheral course is one of the Computer Systems Study Program elective courses. This particular course, related to the computer architecture field area, is offered in the sixth semester for two credits. This study aims to analyze the differences in students’ creativity before and after implementing the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) method based on virtual lab media. During the online PjBL process in the Interfacing and Peripheral course, various learning applications were used to facilitate the learning process. Several applications provide virtual practice spaces and can be easily accessed for free by users, such as the Tinkercad application. In this study, the Tinkercad application was used because it was suitable for the needs of the course. In the Tinkercad application, various electronic equipment, sensors, and embedded systems such as Microcontrollers are needed for device interfaces simulations. This case study involved sixty-two students of the Computer Engineering Department in the 2020/2021 academic year. Students’ creativity data were measured from their assignments through projects and questionnaires to students. The results show a significant increase in students’ creativity: while it is classified as medium, with an average of 55 scores, before implementing PjBL, it significantly increased to an average of 71 after PjBl implementation. The results suggest that students have the basic ability to think creatively, but they are not yet facilitated with a learning process that can optimize the achievement of student creativity.
