Indonesian-Malaysian Malay Culture Strengthens Project-Based Learning: Forming High-Performance Teamwork for Students

Abstract

Community service carried out using the Indonesian-Malaysian Knowledge Transfer Progammer method is one of the goals of producing quality education by Sustainable Development Goal point 4, that quality learning is characterized by maintaining a firm hold on culture. UMN Al-Washliyah and UnisZa have the same culture, namely Malay, with this KTP aims to improve learning by assigning projects to produce high-performance teamwork. Results are (a) determining the theme takes more than 10 minutes. This was confirmed by interviews with the team, the team stated that they had difficulty finding things that could be used as project tasks, the team first searched and watched YouTube first, then held discussions so that the search time for the project theme took a long time; (b) Accuracy in determining themes by chemistry laboratory procedures. This is also confirmed by the results of interviews, this is very closely related to the condition of students who do not understand 100% what they have to do, confusion in making decisions is the most basic reason for difficulties in determining a theme; (c) team agreement in determining the project. The results of the interviews still show the same thing, students again do not understand the concept of matter in everyday life, one of which is that students' views still state that their view of chemistry is only about chemical dangers such as making bombs, the use of formaldehyde or mercury in cosmetics and (d) Present the project theme in front of the class. The new learning atmosphere with new conditions of face-to-face interaction results in anxiety during presentations, which becomes anxiety because students are not ready to explain why the chosen theme is important and must be implemented so when the lecturer asks questions about the reasons for choosing the theme, the students do not master the chosen theme.
