, ### Research Proposal for Technology Education
1.1 Topic for Proposal
Enhancing Student Engagement and Understanding of Mechanical
Systems through Project-Based Learning in Technology Education”**
1.2 Research Problem under Investigation
**Scenario**: In recent observations, educators have noted a decline in
student interest and engagement in Technology Education classes,
particularly in the area of mechanical systems. Many students find the
theoretical aspects of mechanical engineering concepts challenging and
unengaging, resulting in lower achievements and a lack of practical
skills that are crucial for their future careers. This study aims to
investigate how the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) can
enhance student engagement and understanding of mechanical
systems, while also fostering a more hands-on and collaborative
learning environment.
#### 1.3 Introduction for Your Proposal
The world is rapidly evolving, with technology playing an ever-
increasing role in our daily lives, and the importance of technology
education cannot be overstated. Technology stems from the need to
solve practical problems and improve lives through innovative
solutions. The technology education curriculum, which focuses on
structures, mechanical systems, and electrical systems, is designed to
equip students with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for
success in a tech-driven society. However, many students struggle to
engage with the curriculum due to its abstract nature and the lack of
practical, real-world applications.
Project-based learning (PBL) has emerged as a pedagogical approach
that emphasizes student-centered learning through hands-on projects
that mirror real-world challenges. This approach not only fosters deep
learning but also enhances students' motivation and engagement. This
proposal aims to explore the efficacy of PBL in enhancing students'
understanding and engagement with mechanical systems within the
Technology Education curriculum. By investigating this approach, the
research will contribute valuable insights for educators seeking to
