Singaraja – The Ganesha University of Education (Undiksha) Postgraduate Program again held a doctoral promotion exam on June 12, 2023. The exam was attended by 2 people, namely promovendus Gede Doddy Tisna MS and promovendus Cokorda Istri Raka Marsiti from the Doctoral Study Program in Educational Sciences with a Concentration in Educational Technology.

In the exam which took place offline, promovendus Doddy Tisna presented a dissertation entitled “The Influence of the Project-Based Blended Learning Model Based on Tri Hita Karana and Self Efficacy on Learning Achievement and Massage Skills”. The research results showed that there were differences in learning achievement and massage skills with better results in the THK-based project-based blended learning model. The THK-based project-based blended learning model with direct instruction is accommodating to students with high and low self-efficacy. It can be concluded that project-based blended learning based on THK and self-efficacy significantly influences learning achievement and massage skills.

Promovendus, who was born in Banjar, successfully defended his dissertation before the board of examiners, thus making him the 63rd doctorate born from the Undiksha Postgraduate Program.

Meanwhile, Promovenda Cokorda’s wife Raka Marsiti presented a dissertation entitled “The Influence of Multimedia-Assisted Project-Based Learning and the Ability to Collaborate on Creativity and Learning Outcomes in Food and Beverage Processing for Students in Vocational Schools”. The research results show that there is a difference in the influence between the project-based learning model assisted by multimedia and the project-based learning model assisted by PPT visual media on creativity and learning outcomes. In achieving creativity and learning outcomes, the project-based learning model assisted by multimedia shows a greater influence than the project-based learning model assisted by PPT visual media.

The success of this promotion, born in 1971, in defending his dissertation before the board of examiners, led him to become the 64th doctorate born from the Undiksha Postgraduate Program.
