Enhancing Critical Thinking and Teamwork through AI-Integrated Project-Based Learning in Engineering Education Anggun Agni Zaus, M Giatman, Mahesi Agni Zaus, Anggi Agni Zaus, Syaiful Islami International Journal on Informatics Visualization, 2026 This study introduces a novel integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) to enhance critical thinking and teamwork skills among engineering students—an approach that has received limited attention in existing research. Unlike prior studies that typically examine AI or PjBL in isolation, this research combines the adaptive, personalized feedback of AI with the collaborative, problem-solving nature of PjBL, creating a unique pedagogical framework. The experimental group, which received the AI-PjBL intervention, demonstrated significant improvements in critical thinking and teamwork skills compared to the control group that received traditional methods. Notably, the findings highlight that gender did not significantly influence skill development, underscoring the potential of AI-PjBL to promote gender equity in STEM education—a dimension rarely explored in similar studies. By showing that AI-driven personalization and project-based collaboration can be synergistically applied, this study contributes new insights into designing future-ready curricula. The results emphasize that embedding AI-PjBL in engineering education is not only effective but also transformative in preparing students for the demands of an increasingly complex, technology-driven world
From Classroom to Industry: Enhancing Student Competencies through STEAM-Based Project-Based Learning in Fabrication and Manufacturing Technology Bulkia Rahim, Cici Andriani, Syaiful Islami, Jasman, Fiki Efendi, et al. International Journal of Information and Education Technology, 2025 The modern industry requires graduates who are not only theoretically competent but also possess technical skills, problem-solving talents, and job preparedness. However, a large gap still exists between classroom learning and industry requirements. This study examines the practicality and effectiveness of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM)-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach for helping students improve their skills in fabrication and manufacturing technology and prepare for jobs in the industry. The study involved 64 students, 10 lecturers, and 10 industry practitioners in the Diploma III Mechanical Engineering Program at Universitas Negeri Padang, Indonesia. The research was conducted using the Research and Development (R&D) method based on the Borg and Gall model, which Puslitjaknov simplified into six stages: data collection, planning, initial product development, preliminary field testing, product revision, and main field testing. The data analysis prioritized practicality, efficacy, and industry preparedness. The STEAM-PjBL approach dramatically improved students’ technical competencies, capacity for problem solving, design innovation, communication, teamwork, and project management skills—all of which are important in the manufacturing industry. The pretest findings revealed no significant difference between the control and experimental groups (p-value = 0.91), indicating equivalent starting positions. However, the posttest results showed a substantial improvement in the experimental group (p-value = 0.00), indicating that the model successfully enhanced learning outcomes. Thus, including STEAM-PjBL in the curriculum is a viable method for closing the gap between higher education and industry demands.
Gamification in work-based learning in vocational education to support students' coding abilities Nizwardi Jalinus, Ganefri Ganefri, Syahril Syahril, Mahesi Agni Zaus, Syaiful Islami Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2025 This article studied the integration of gamification in work-based learning within vocational education as a means to support students' coding abilities.

The inclusion of gamified elements into the curriculum was designed to make the learning process more interactive, fostering a competitive yet collaborative environment that enhances students' interest and perseverance in coding tasks. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures to assess the impact of gamification on coding proficiency, comparing the outcomes of students participating in gamified learning environments with those in traditional settings. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the coding skills of students exposed to gamified work-based learning, suggesting that gamification can serve as an effective pedagogical tool in vocational education, better preparing students for industry demands.
Leveraging Smart Home Training Kits as an Innovative Educational Tool to Foster Higher-Order Thinking Skills Sukardi, Oriza Candra, Emilham Mirshad, Mahesi Agni Zaus, Syaiful Islami Data and Metadata, 2025 This study aims to establish the impact of employing Smart Home Training Kits as a new approach to developing Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in vocational education. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups of vocational students: supporting them by an experimental group applying Smart Home Training Kits and a control group using conventional methods of instruction. Standard pre-tests and post-tests were administered among the students to evaluate the enhancement in the level of higher-order thinking skills, for aspects of critical thinking, problem-solving solving, and creativity. The findings also showed a work improvement in the experimental group compared to the group control group. The experimental group of students who were trained using the Smart Home Training Kits performed better when it came to the analysis, evaluation, and Synthesis of possible solutions regarding smart homes. Also, a number of the activity kits characterized the technical thing being taught in a detailed way that allowed the students to gain a more realistic understanding of the principles at work. The findings of this paper suggest that Smart Home Training Kits are one of the ways through which Higher-Order Thinking Skills can be effectively taught within the technical education training regime while closing the gap between theory and practical. This indicates that the assimilation of these kits in curricula could help the effective development of critical thinking and innovation at the expense of students to face the current world workplace challenges.
Leveraging Algorithm Instruction with AI Chatbots: A Detailed Exploration of Their Impact on Students’ Computational Thinking Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Padang, Padang, Indonesia, Mahesi Agni Zaus International Journal of Information and Education Technology, 2025 This research aims to understand the effect of algorithm instruction with artificial intelligence-based chatbots on students’ Computational Thinking (CT) skills. A quasi-experimental approach was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group where some students used conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots as learning assistants and a control group where students used no such technology. The proposed research tools were the pre and post-tests and the questionnaires, which targeted users’ rating of the chatbot’s usefulness, user interface, and its influence on learning motivation. Analysis of the collected data was done using independent t-tests to compare the results between groups as well as correlation analysis to find the connection between AI chatbot utilization and students’ computational thinking skills. This study shows a positive increase in the overall CT skills of the experimental group compared to the control group. Instead, a positive relationship was found between the degree of the use of the chatbots and the students’ computational thinking performance. Accordingly, this research points to the inclusion of AI-based chatbots into algorithm instruction as a valuable approach to raising computational thinking disposition, learning motivation, and learning outcome. Therefore, the application of the value of AI technology indicates the possibility of transforming the implementation and teaching of an algorithm in higher education.
