Abstract
Modified cooperative learning is a class-based active learning strategy, where students work on problems posed by lecturers, first individually, then in small groups, and finally as class discussions. This method allows students to express their reasoning, reflect on their thoughts, and get immediate feedback about their understanding. In this study, an investigation of the quantity and quality of student involvement was conducted in the Computer Programming Laboratory course in the electronics engineering department. Lecture material is prepared to support cooperative learning as well as class observations of students conducted by cooperative learning in the course. The pattern of student involvement was observed using the student behavior observation form that was developed and validated. Data triangulation was done with student perception survey data. The results showed that matching timing varied depending on the topic with an average of 20 minutes for the concept presentation by the lecturer. Student involvement is very high in the form of writing and discussing groups and classes. Triangulation of student perceptions states that students feel actively involved fully in the learning process.
