However, learning in this element is still carried out conventionally so that student learning outcomes have not reached the minimum completion criteria. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of utilizing Google Sites-based e-learning in improving student learning outcomes in the material of Building Utilities Construction Drawings in class XI DPIB Vocational School 1 Percut Sei Tuan in the 2024/2025 academic year. Using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework, this study was carried out through two cycles, each covering the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through multiple-choice tests in each cycle and analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-testsThe outcomes highlighted a substantial advancement in student performance, with the mean score showing improvement from 69.5 in the first cycle to 87.1 in the second cycle, while the learning completion rate increased from 57.14% to 92.85%. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between the two cycles. The study concludes that the adoption of Google Sites-based e-learning is effective in supporting student understanding and engagement. The study's conclusion states that Google Sites learning media can be a valuable tool in the teaching and learning process, particularly for vocational education in the Building Utilities Construction material.
