Spring oscillator as case based learning (CBL) device

Abstract

This research aims to: (1) develop and find out the feasibility of a spring oscillator practicum; and (2) practice the spring oscillator tool developed. The research method was the research & development method with the ADDIE development model. The study was conducted at SMAN 1 Indramayu in July-August 2019. The instrument was developed using a laser distance sensor type VL53lX as a distance gauge, a vibrator made from a coil as a spring and LCD system shaker and a laptop to display the results of the experiment. The control system uses Arduino Nano. The study was conducted in March-May 2019 at the Physics Laboratory, FMIPA, Jakarta State University. The experimental results of measuring the spring constant get an average value of 6.527 N / m. The second experiment obtained an average value of the natural frequency of the system at 1.672 Hz. The third experiment obtained a maximum amplitude value of 4.8 cm and a period of 0.59 s. The results of expert validation from media experts, and material experts were 85.16% and 90.04%, respectively. The trial of practicum tools was carried out at SMAN 1 Indramayu, West Java, as many as 20 students with a percentage of 86.66% achievement. Based on the data it is concluded that the spring oscillator practicum tool developed is suitable for use as a learning medium.
