Abstract

Background/purpose. This study examines the evolution of information technology-driven learning models aligned with the policies and programs outlined in the strategic plan of the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) aimed at becoming a leading institution. This includes the advancement of information and communication technology-based learning, supported by infrastructure established on the UPI campus since 2006.

Materials/methods. This research employs a research and development (R&D) methodology, utilizing three specific methods: descriptive, evaluative, and experimental. The experimental design employed will be the Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design.

Results. The research findings indicate that this information technology-driven learning model facilitates the teaching process for both lecturers and students in the Curriculum and Instruction domain. It enhances student engagement, enthusiasm, and motivation, as the lecture experience becomes more diverse and engaging. Students are afforded the opportunity to exercise creativity and innovation, ultimately leading to improved academic performance. Utilizing the intended learning model, lecturers exhibit a pronounced inclination to establish a hospitable and successful learning process, reflecting a paradigm shift from conventional education to information technology-based learning. Secondly, lecturers are a critical aspect in enhancing student learning results. This is substantiated by empirical evidence indicating that "what students learn is significantly shaped by the instructional methods employed by their lecturers". Thirdly, Curriculum and Instruction is a mandatory course for all students enrolled in the education program in UPI.

Conclusion. Consequently, this course must be executed accurately and in compliance with the process criteria established by the government. This concept is anticipated to be employed by instructors to enhance student learning results.
