The world of education has undergone a major shift as a result of advances in information and communication technology. This study compares conventional and digital learning methods for distance learning (PJJ) across the board, with the aim of finding out what is effective, what is not effective, and how the two methods affect student learning outcomes and experiences. Conventional learning, which relies on direct interaction between teachers and students, emphasizes elements such as giving feedback, easy to do, structured, and routine. It has the advantage of being able to facilitate direct interpersonal communication, provide intensive supervision and guidance, and create a competitive learning environment. However, this method has some limitations, especially in terms of time and space flexibility. It is also not able to meet the learning needs of individuals in large groups. On the other hand, digital learning offers greater flexibility, access to a wide range of educational resources, and increased interactivity through the use of online collaboration tools, e-learning platforms, and video conferencing. The use of technology allows learning content to be presented in a systematic, structured and engaging manner, increasing student motivation and participation. In addition, it allows materials to be tailored to each student's learning style and conditions, and supports collaborative and independent learning. Challenges include the possibility of misuse of technology, limited access in some areas, lack of direct social interaction, and reliance on digital infrastructure and capabilities. The research results indicate that digital learning generally enhances student learning outcomes more significantly compared to conventional learning, especially in terms of distance learning (PJJ). Digital strategies such as structured instructional design, integration of practical experiences, motivational support, and time management have been shown to improve student interaction, understanding, and independence. However, digital and conventional learning methods can complement each other to achieve optimal effectiveness. The application of these strategies not only boosts students' academic performance but also equips them with the essential skills to tackle future challenges.

The low level of student learning activity is often found in school learning activities, which has an impact on poor learning outcomes. This study aims to examine the significant comparison of learning activities and physics learning outcomes of vocational high school students using the cooperative learning models STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division) and TGT (Teams Games Tournament), as well as to describe student responses after the implementation of both models on the topic of energy and its changes. This research is a true experimental study with a posttest-only control group design. The population in this study consisted of 186 students, and the sample was determined using a cluster random sampling technique. Data collection methods included observation, tests, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The classical assumption test used was the normality test, followed by statistical analyses using the Independent Sample T-test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. The results of the analysis of student learning activity data using the Independent Sample T-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.699 > 0.05, while the analysis of learning outcome data using the Mann-Whitney U-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.806 > 0.05. These results indicate that there is no significant difference between the two learning models in terms of their effect on student learning activities and physics learning outcomes. In addition, the analysis of student responses showed that the implementation of the STAD and TGT models received a very good response. Thus, it can be concluded that while there is no significant difference between the two models, both are effective in generating student interest and positive engagement in learning physics.
