Introduction Internet of Things Design for Students in SMKs Darul Ulum Layoa Bantaeng

Abstract

Abstract. IoT (Internet of Things) technology is currently experiencing very rapid development. Several innovative and creative applications, most IoT-based, have been found. IoT underlies the existence of smart home technology. One of the advantages of smart home technology is that homeowners can control conditions and monitor home security using only one device. Unfortunately, at SMKs Darul Ulum Layoa, Bantaeng, Sulawesi Selatan (South Sulawesi), learning about IoT still needs to be improved. It becomes the basis for why we hold a community service activity. This activity provided understanding and training on the Internet of Things, which 40 teachers and students attended. Pretest and posttest methods are used to determine the activity's success level. Both results were processed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) method. SPSS is a statistical software used to perform data analysis, including descriptive and inferential analysis. By utilizing the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, an analysis of the data revealed a Z value of -5.026 and a p-value of 0.000. These findings indicate a significant difference between the pretest and posttest groups or a significant increase in scores between the pretest and posttest. Therefore, the intervention had a positive effect on the outcome being measured.
