Abstract

In the midst of a pandemic that is still ongoing in the world, the learning system in universities is much different from the past. Academic staff including lecturers, continue to strive so that learning objectives can still be achieved. One of the learning methods used is Problem Based Learning, which focuses on student creativity in understanding learning materials. This study aims to determine the student’s point of view on the concept of the Problem Based Learning method for the Bridge Design course. The research method used is to collect data through questionnaires distributed to students in the bridge design course. As many as twenty six respondents have given their opinion and then analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Some basic questions have been asked to the respondents related to their understanding of problem based learning, their difficulties in problem based learning, and which type of learning they prefer. The results of the analysis show that problem based methods are preferred by students compared to teacher centered learning. They have the greatest difficulty understanding the assigned task (38.5%), finding references (30.8%), report (19.2%), and working with groups (11.5%).
