Abstract

This research is motivated by the observed low learning ability of students in the Engineering Mechanics course. Consequently, a Cooperative Problem-Based Learning (CPBL) model was developed with the aim of enhancing students’ learning abilities in Engineering Mechanics. The CPBL model is a synergistic integration of two established learning models, namely Cooperative Learning (CL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL). The research follows the development procedure outlined by Borg and Gall, modified into four stages: (1) initial research and information gathering; (2) planning, initial product development, and expert validation; (3) initial field trials and subsequent revisions; and (4) main field trials and final revisions. Verification of the CPBL model products involves Forum Group Discussions and validation by relevant experts in the field of engineering education. The results of the validity tests indicate that all CPBL model products are deemed valid and suitable for implementation in teaching Engineering Mechanics. The CPBL model underwent trials with Civil Engineering students at FT UNP, who were enrolled in the Engineering Mechanics course. The research findings demonstrate that the CPBL model is both valid and practical for teaching Engineering Mechanics. With valid and practical criteria, the CPBL model can be effectively implemented in Engineering Mechanics learning.
