Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects on learning achievement and morality among higher vocational certificate students, of online lessons delivered via Google Classroom using the STAD technique. A mixed-methods design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative data from 26 students. The research instruments included pre- and post-tests, as well as a moral and ethical scale. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used for hypothesis testing. The study results revealed that 1) students' achievement significantly increased at the p<.05 level, and 2) students' self-assessed scores on the moral and ethical scale also significantly improved at the p<.05 level. Additionally, students reflected that the teaching and learning activities were diverse, modern, and engaging. The content was delivered through Google Classroom and communication was facilitated through Google Meet and LINE. Assignments could be completed individually and submitted directly to the online classroom. Students learned to use modern technology and were able to apply their knowledge to their daily lives and careers demonstrating morality.
