Abstract

This research introduces a novel learning model that integrates blended learning approaches to enhance student learning independence in the context of education in Indonesia. The study presents a comprehensive framework that combines traditional face-to-face teaching with online resources and activities tailored to promote autonomy and self-directed learning among students. The model was implemented in a diverse Indonesian educational setting, aiming to empower students to take ownership of their learning process and develop critical thinking skills. This study aims to develop a new learning model by introducing the Understanding, Observing and Practicing (PAP) method according to blended learning to help the students become more independent learners in Middle School in Mojokerto, East Java, Indonesia. In this study, we adopt the Dick and Carey Model with ten stages using two instruments to gather data: a questionnaire to gather information about the viability of product development, and product assessment and observation to gather information about learning independence. The questionnaire is tailored to the variables that will be examined in this study. In this paper, the PAP learning model analyze the gathered data by using T-tests and descriptive percentage methods to obtain results of 96.35%, according to the development research findings. The UAP learning model with blended learning, has the potential to enhance learning independence by harvesting the significance level (0.000 < 0.05) or 2-tailed confidence level is 0.000. Through a series of structured evaluations and observations, the results demonstrated a significant improvement in student learning independence and engagement. This innovative approach holds potential to positively impact the educational landscape in Indonesia by fostering a more dynamic and student-centered learning environment.
