A feasibility study of sensor and transducer trainers as a learning media towards electronics engineering’s students

Abstract

Abstract This research aimed at determining the feasibility of sensor and transducer trainer as a learning media applied for Electronics Engineering students of FT UNM. This study’s feasibility indicators were divided into 3, namely feasible in terms of material, media, and responses from the students as users of these media trainers. The method applied in this research was Research and Development (R&D) by developing a sensor and transducer trainer. The data analysis technique used was descriptive statistical analysis. A questionnaire was used to collect the data by targeting 4 lecturers as media and material experts, while 27 students participated as a respondent. The assessment results from the material expert validator were obtained an average value of the feasibility percentage of 97%, while the assessment of the media expert received an average value of 96%. Based on this assessment, the media trainer was worthy of both the material’s content and its performance. Meanwhile, the value of students’ responses towards the use of trainers after being tested reached 84% with a very good category. The feasibility test results generally showed that the trainer could be used in practical learning of sensor and transducer course. This trainer could be developed with the addition of IoT (Internet of Things) technology to perform remote monitoring and control systems.
