Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the best practice of using distance learning with conventional teaching methods and experimental demonstration methods to teach vocational students about the concept of fabricating automotive brake pad systems from domestic waste. This study employs an experimental design with pre-and post-test control groups. All of the vocational students in the control and experimental classes were from class XI. In the experimental class, the experimental demonstration method with learning videos was used. Conventional methods of instruction were used in the control class. The learning videos used in the experimental class during the learning process contain basic theory and experiments on related materials. In this case, we taught vocational students about brake pad fabrication and its industrial applications. The results of the pre-test and posttest scores were analysed and measured to determine student learning outcomes. The findings revealed differences in learning outcomes between the control and experimental groups. Students in the experimental group comprehended the concept of fabricating brake pads more thoroughly than students in the control group. Students can get concrete examples from the teacher or instruction through experimental demonstration. Practical experience can help to form strong memories and skills. This success can be attributed to the availability of learning videos that students can watch repeatedly. Students are also more enthusiastic about learning videos because we teach something that can be applied in the industry. The addition of experimental demonstrations using commercially available materials increases student interest by increasing students' ability to experiment on their own. In addition, we also explain the concept of recycle and reuse agricultural waste for fabricating brakepad that can support current sustainable development goals (SDGs). Further learning applications using experimental demonstration methods are expected to be carried out because this method is proven to be effective for student learning. © Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Publisher’s Office.
