Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-Along with the development of technology, there are many software and applications that can be used for learning and learning needs in schools. One of them is Microsoft (Ms) Project which can be used in project-based learning. In order to improve students' ability to use the software, the UNESA Faculty of Engineering Lecturer team held training on the use of Ms.Project for the preparation of construction project schedules for students at SMK Negeri Ngraho, Bojonegoro Regency.
The Chief Executive, Puguh Novi Prasetyono, S.Pd., M.T explained that the training was based on conditions in the field where there were still many students and even schools who were not familiar with and used Ms Project for their learning and learning needs. In fact, Ms Project can be used to manage a project, assist in scheduling a project or other series of work.
Ms project can also help record and monitor the use of resources, both in the form of human resources and in the form of equipment. What can be done through the Ms project are, among others, recording the labor requirements in each sector, recording the working hours of employees, overtime hours and calculating expenses related to labor costs, entering fixed costs and calculating the total project costs. "It can also help control the use of labor in several jobs to avoid overallocation," he said on Thursday, November 04, 2021.
The problem at the partner school, Ngraho State Vocational School, has not yet developed the Ms. Projects that can be used both online and offline. In addition, students are also not too familiar with the software. For this problem, he continued, he and his team initiated training that was packaged in the form of a simulation and adapted to the needs and understanding of students at the location. The training will be held on August 27, 2021.
Participants are taught starting from the software introduction stage, install it to how to use it from the initial stage to the advanced stage. To make it easier for schools and students to learn and develop post-training knowledge, the lecturer team also provides modules, the general description consists of; 1) Setting project information, 2) Change working time, 3) inputting activity duration, 4) inputting activity predecessors, and 5) determining the critical path of work.
In addition to training, he and his team will also provide assistance in the future, both in terms of using Ms. projects or in other fields. He hopes that with this training, local schools and students will know and understand software and applications that can be used for learning and learning needs.
“We hope that their learning process will be easy and practical. The most important thing is that they can use technology well and maximally and make it easier for them to learn and work on projects,” he hoped. The training was part of the community service program (PKM) for the Faculty of Engineering lecturers, which consisted of Puguh Novi Prasetyono, S.Pd., MT, as chairman and Feriza Nadiar, ST, MT, and Satriana Fitri, MS, ST, MT as members. .
