Student Perceptions of the Application of Practicum Learning Project-Based Medical Instrumentation to Increase Student Creativity

Abstract

Learning in the Medical Instrumentation course is more focused on the principles of using tools, parts and functions, how to operate and care for tools, the calibration status of laboratory equipment and the concept of calibration of laboratory equipment. Learning like this results in students only being limited to understanding existing theories and minimal skills or skills. This study aims to describe the perceptions of medical laboratory technology students towards project-based Medical Instrumentation practicum learning. Student perceptions of the learning process are essential because they can be used to implement learning decisions. The research objects were 55 Bachelor of Applied Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program students. Data was collected by questionnaire, which was distributed via a Google form. Percentage shows that respondents have a good perception of applying the PjBL model. With the implementation of the PjBL model of learning, students will become more enthusiastic about studying the Medical Instrumentation Practicum because the PjBL model can eliminate boredom in participating in the learning process.
