Keywords:
Online Equivalent, classroom action research, online learning, student engagement, learning outcomesAbstract
Online equivalency education faces various challenges, such as low student engagement and a lack of effective teaching strategies. This study aimed to analyse the application of Classroom Action Research (CAR) in improving student engagement and learning outcomes at SPNF SKB Sukabumi, Indonesia. This study used a classroom action research approach with a reflective cycle that included observation, intervention, and evaluation. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and observations of 50 students and 10 educators. The analysis was conducted qualitatively and quantitatively using descriptive statistics to measure the impact of the intervention. The implementation of PTK increased student participation in online discussions from 45% to 78% and completion of academic assignments from 52% to 85%. The average score for formative exams also increased from 65.2 to 81.4, with the number of students achieving learning completeness increasing from 48% to 83%. Educators have reported that PTK helps them adjust their teaching methods to increase student motivation and understanding. PTK has been proven to be effective in improving the quality of online equivalency learning. However, challenges related to educators' technological skills and access to infrastructure still need to be addressed. Training and supportive policies are needed to optimise the effectiveness of PTK in equivalency education.
