Application Of Electronic Problem-Based Learning (E-PBL) During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Entrepreneurial Attitude

Abstract

Purpose: The acceleration of the transformation of education and learning technology due to the COVID19 pandemic has spawned various online learning program platforms to support and maintain the quality of graduates. The limitation of face-to-face meetings (offline) encourages many parties to develop models and applications of effective and efficient learning technology. One of them is implementing a learning model based on Electronic Problem Based Learning (E-PBL) in improving student's entrepreneurial attitudes in achieving learning competencies through web-based interactions between lecturers and students. Method: The research design uses a quantitative research approach with the use of E-PBL software on lecturers and lecturer students which aims to analyze the Electronic Problem Based Learning model by learning, learning motivation, and learning attitudes with a sample of 129 participants. Data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 application. Findings: A significant influence was found of the application of the E-PBL learning model on variables like learning, learning motivation, and learning attitudes. Implications for Research and Practice: The application of the E-PBL learning model can improve learning methods, learning motivation, and positive learning attitudes that are effective and efficient for students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
